Cyrus Borg

Cyrus Borg lives in New Ninjago city; his residence is Borg Tower, built on the very spot where The Overlord was defeated in season 2.

eccentric, brilliant, and optimistic tech genius. He is deeply passionate about innovation, often unfazed by major crises, and deeply dedicated to helping the ninja despite occasionally creating bizarre failed inventions

Genius and Eccentric: He possesses a hyper-intelligent, inventive mind, proud of both his massive technological successes and his spectacular, funny failed inventions.Optimistic and Resilient: He stays calm and lighthearted even in stressful situations, using his intellect to rebuild rather than despair.Loyal Ally: Though briefly and unwillingly manipulated by the Overlord as the "OverBorg," he is fundamentally good-natured and acts as a steadfast, crucial supporter of the Ninja.Progress-Driven: He views the world through the lens of technology and advancement, dreaming up futuristic upgrades and creations like P.I.X.A.L.

sometimes he is pretty nervous while he is in danger

His name is a play on the word "cyborg," befitting his expertise in robotics and his temporary cyberization at the hands of the Overlord. He humorously acknowledges this in "The Surge", commenting that his career path was set the moment his parents named him.
This is an example of nominative determinism.
Before meeting him, Jay revered Cyrus and described him as a "super genius reclusive savant" and "Inventor of the hover car and everything else cool in this world".[1]
In "The Surge," before he was possessed, his right hand kept switching between black and yellow. Therefore it is unknown whether he was a cyborg before his possession.
He is the first character to be human but have cyborg body parts, followed by Wu, the Mechanic, Iron Baron, Daddy No Legs, Arkade and Beatrix.
He despises robot dogs and claims that they are for amateurs until his security systems weren't able to stop the Mechanic and the Kryptarium inmates.[17]
According to his voice actor Lee Tockar, Dr. Borg speaks with "a slight northern London accent with a hint of silly thrown in for good measure."

A skilled and imaginative inventor, Cyrus Borg saw the damage done to Ninjago City by the battle with the Overlord as an opportunity.

He rebuilt the place as New Ninjago City, packed with high technology upgrades, and built the Borg Industries complex right on the site of the Overlord’s defeat.

Borg’s successes have been many, but his few failures have been spectacular as well (the electronic papercut carving set, the electric bath mat, the nuclear toothbrush, the turbo-jet powered, sub-orbital golf cart, etc.).

“When I make a mistake, I make a big one!” he has been known to say.

Disabled from birth, genius inventor Cyrus Borg created his own artificial limbs. He also helps build the futuratic metropols of New Ninjago City. When the Overlord becomes a computer virus, he transforms unsuspecting Borg into a villainous cyborg called the OverBorg. He is programmed to return the Overlord to a living body.

Firstly, Cyrus Borg was seen wearing a formal blue-gray jacket over his black turtleneck sweater. When the Overlord made him into the OverBorg, he was not seen with his jacket, but in place, robotic pieces on the right side of his body. He is always in his wheelchair or in the artificial limbs. Starting from the fourth season, Cyrus has a gray suit and black sweater, jet black hair usually combed over to one side and crow's feet around his eyes which have gray glasses, while sitting in just a regular wheelchair, but now his right arm is robotic because of his OverBorg's form.

Compatible
Cyrus Borg reported that Zane's neural net processor was functioning optimally, however, his memory banks sustained damage, rendering him in a state similar to that of a comatose person. P.I.X.A.L. expressed her concern, stating that while some comatose patients have been known to recover, Zane's situation was different as he's a Nindroid. Despite this, Cyrus Borg has assured P.I.X.A.L. that he will attempt a few more methods to revive Zane, but the outcome remained uncertain. After exhausting all possible options, Cyrus had come to the conclusion that Zane was gone until P.I.X.A.L. successfully get through with Zane by expressing her emotions towards him.

An Issue of Trust
Cyrus Borg urgently contacted P.I.X.A.L. over a radio at the newspaper warehouse. He informed her that the Crystal Island was approaching and that the Overlord had become aware of the Resistance's location. Additionally, he disclosed that the crystal army was en route to their location.

Lost in Time
There is nothing the team can do but wait for Kai, Nya, and Wu's return. Eventually, they start to notice the city has no technology and that Zane has gone back to his original state. When technology returned, Cyrus was ecstatic his BorgWatch came back.

During and after Hunted
During Emperor Garmadon's rule over the city, Borg Tower was used as his headquarters, meaning Cyrus Borg was either expelled or arrested by Sons of Garmadon. After the city's liberation, Cyrus Borg assists in restoring the city to its normal state.[9]
Into the Breach
It was shown that he was petrified and frozen in Ninjago City when Lloyd and Garmadon stumble upon him. Garmadon would not let Lloyd help him, saying that the only way he could be helped was if the Realm Crystal was destroyed.

Endings
When the Oni were banished from Ninjago City, the darkness fades away, freeing those frozen, including Cyrus. He is later seen up at the monastery, watching the ninja place their hands on a new mural.
Prime Empire
Level Thirteen
The ninja and P.I.X.A.L. visit Cyrus, who had been studying the Prime Empire cabinet that Jay went through before discovering that Prime Empire has separate worlds in it, with the latter and over 800 other players trapped inside it. When the Mechanic, Ultra Violet, Soto, and many other escaped Kryptarium inmates infiltrate the building to reclaim the cabinet, Cyrus shuts down the elevators and activates his security system while silently mocking Milton Dyer's security system, telling the ninja not to interfere and to concentrate on the game. Once they arrived, the ninja try their best to keep them away from Cole while Cyrus stayed back before Cole managed to reach Level 13, and Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Cole, and Nya head in while Zane and P.I.X.A.L. stayed behind. As they prepare to leave, one convict blocks his path, but Zane forces him aside before they head for the elevator to reach his private helicopter.

A Time of Traitors
The Vermillion put Cyrus in the golden sarcophagus, and after it's been open, Kai was surprised to find out Krux kidnapped him. Eventually, Acronix kidnapped him again.

A Line in the Sand
Now located in the Vermillion Dorm of Doom, Cyrus was forced to build the Iron Doom's apparatus but claims he can't due to the unusable metal and tools. However, Krux caught on to his lie, and after Machia motivated him, he agreed to build it.

Pause and Effect
Cyrus claimed he finished making the apparatus. He tried to sabotage it, but Machia took him with them to find the Pause Time Blade.

Out of the Fire and Into the Boiling Sea
When Zane got a signal, he realizes it's Cyrus and stated he needs to save him. When they got there in disguises, he showed them the Iron Doom.

Later, when he was trying to figure out the code to disable it, Zane figured it out. However, Acronix used the Pause Time Blade on them and the ninja had to catch them.

Prior to Skybound
At some point, Cyrus created an interactive kiosk system around Ninjago City, known as InfoVision.[6] He also created an interactive display utilizing his own appearance, which would communicate with his Nindroid Sentries at Hiroshi's Labyrinth Stronghold if needed.[7] Both of these inventions would eventually be used for evil when Nadakhan utilized them for his own goals in an alternate timeline.

The Hands of Time
Prior to The Hatching
Cyrus recorded a television commercial for the BorgWatch before its release.[8]

The Hatching
Cyrus gave a speech about the invention of the BorgWatch but was the target of a Vermillion warrior sent by Acronix and Krux. Zane tried to escort him to safety but was kidnapped.

he sent the ninja off. Later, he was attacked by his artificial limbs and was captured, leaving Nya and P.I.X.A.L. to defend the ninja.
Codename: Arcturus
Re-assimilated back into the OverBorg, Borg freely began building a rocket for Pythor and the Nindroids to use to retrieve the Golden Weapons.

The Void
After Pythor got word from Cryptor that the ninja were aboard the Arcturus rocket, the OverBorg accompanied the Anacondrai and several Nindroids to Borg Tower to capture the ninja's allies who were aiding them. The company arrived at Borg's office and though it appeared deserted, the OverBorg discovered Wu, Garmadon, Nya, and P.I.X.A.L. hiding on scaffolding outside the office window. Using his laser eye, the OverBorg began to cut the wires holding the scaffolding, though the heroes were able to escape in a Hover-Copter.

The Titanium Ninja
Following his return to Ninjago, Borg reverted to his normal self, as the Overlord—now the Golden Master—said he was no longer needed. Later on, he told the ninja about a shrinking pill that will reduce the size of the Golden Master. When Zane sacrificed himself to destroy the Golden Master, Borg spoke at the memorial dedicated to the heroic Nindroid, where he dubbed him "the Titanium Ninja" for his heroism.
The Invitation
Cyrus was present to watch Lloyd run a training course to try and obtain a replica of the Golden Armor within Borg Tower.

The Corridor of Elders
Borg broadcasted a radio warning about the Anacondrai's attacks, which was heard by Pythor and inspired him to help the ninja.

The Surge
Cyrus summoned the ninja, minus Lloyd, to Borg Tower. There, Cyrus consoled Zane on the loss of his father, another brilliant inventor he admired, and he discreetly gave the ninja the Techno Blades inside a statue of himself. The Digital Overlord found out about this, however, and fit Cyrus with cybernetic parts that turned him into the Overlord's slave, while using Cyrus' artificial limbs then became the Digital Overlord's primary conveyance.

The Art of the Silent Fist
The artificial limbs continue to serve as the Overlord's body, while Cyrus Borg appeared limp and unresponsive.

Blackout
With New Ninjago City without power, Cyrus was freed from the control of the Overlord. A few days after the blackout, a crew of engineers stumbled across Cyrus's body in the Borg Tower assembly line and removed the headpiece that had previously been installed to revive him. Once back in his old wheelchair, the inventor hurried back to his office and was dismayed to find both the hard drive containing the Digital Overlord and the recently captured Master Wu missing.
The Curse of the Golden Master
Upon the ninja's return to the city, Cyrus welcomed them back, after assuring the other inhabitants who had not left that the ninja team was there to help. Much to his surprise, his assistant P.I.X.A.L. was with them, powered by half of Zane's power core. He then rushed her back to Borg Tower where he was able to use her energy to get his mainframe up and running again.

P.I.X.A.L. informed her creator that while she felt indebted to him, she also felt a powerful connection to Zane. Cyrus assured her that she didn't belong to anyone and that if she desired to go with Zane, then that was her choice. He was then startled as his scanners detected Nindroids in close proximity, and confused by their absence. P.I.X.A.L. realized what he had not; the Nindroids were underground beneath the building.

Early life
Cyrus Borg was born without the ability to move his legs, leading him to use a wheelchair.[1]

10 years before the events of Skybound, Cyrus Borg obtained the Oni Mask of Vengeance through an auction.[2]

After the Final Battle
Cyrus took the opportunity to use the destruction of Ninjago City as a way to rebuild this city as a technological marvel known as "New Ninjago City." He founded Borg Industries and built Borg Tower over the site of the destroyed Garmatron as a symbol of defiance towards evil.

At some point after this, Borg switched to using a mechanical spider-like device instead of a wheelchair.[1] He also built P.I.X.A.L., the sixteenth model in a line of android assistants who, before her, had all malfunctioned due to a faulty thermo-coil and malfunctioning AIE-ES (artificial intelligence enhancer-emotion suppressor) chip. Borg was able to fix the thermo-coil with P.I.X.A.L., but the AIE-ES chip remained problematic.[3][4]

At some point after the Overlord's defeat, Wu brought the components of the Golden Mech to Borg, who rebuilt it.[5]

A few weeks before the visit of the ninja, Borg discovered a virus that turned out to be the Digital Overlord inside the master computer. Knowing he could not stop the evil on his own, he created the Techno Blades and Techno robes for the four ninja.
