Zane

제인은 항상 자신이 조금 이상한 사람이라고 생각했다. 농담을 항상 이해하는 것은 아니었고, 때로는 마치 프로그램된 것처럼 이상하게 말하곤 했다... 그러던 어느 날, 그는 자신의 가장 큰 비밀을 알게 되었다. 그는 사람이 아니라... 닌드로이드였다. 즉, 기계였던 것이다. 이것이 이점일까, 아니면 반대로 걸림돌이 될까...

Zane was created by Dr. Julien in a small workshop located deep within Birchwood Forest. He spent many happy years with Dr. Julien, who taught him life skills such as cooking. During this time, Dr. Julien also built a Falcon to serve as a companion for his artificial son, and the mechanical bird continued to assist Zane throughout his life. One day, Zane and his father were visited by an old man, the Master of Ice, who they allowed to spend the night with them. The man took an interest in Zane, and after he left them, Julien stated that Zane was "acting strange", implying that Zane had gained his Ice powers. The next day, Master Wu arrived to find Zane chopping wood. After Zane asked if Wu needed to chop wood, Wu replied that he did not, but that Zane would someday be needed for a mission far greater than he could have ever imagined. Eventually, Dr. Julien passed away of old age with Zane by his side. Before he died, Dr. Julien told a saddened Zane that he had a great destiny ahead of him, telling him that he was created to protect others and that he had become the son Dr. Julien never had. Expressing his love once again, the dying inventor's last act was to turn off Zane's "memory switch" so that his son would be spared the pain of grief as he moved on to the next stage of his life. After being "reset", Zane went out into the world, believing himself to be an orphan with no memory of his past memories. Master Wu found Zane meditating at the bottom of a frozen pond and recruited him to join his ninja team along with Cole and Jay. He began training at the Monastery of Spinjitzu and began learning the way of the ninja.
