Traximus is shown to have a strong sense of honor while absolutely loathing with what the Triceraton empire had become under Zanramon's leadership. While he had shown to be greatly loyal to the Empire, he showed great defiance to the dictatorship by constantly speaking out against Zanramon, even though it soon landed him in prison.
During the time where he is forced to fight as a Gladiator, he lost his heart & sense of honor as well as knowing mercy, that is until the Turtles arrived and reminded him that there are those in the universe that still possess a sense of honor. With this revelation Traximus regains his determination to overthrow Zanramon and once again displays his defiant nature by refusing to attack his new friends in the Triceraton Arena.
After helping the Turtles and Honeycutt escape and return their world, Traximus soon got determined to restore the Triceraton republic to it's former glory. Doing this he gathered many other good-minded people across the galaxy he united and was able to not only make the Triceraton Empire republic great again, he even made peace with their sworn enemies and starting a new age of peace all over the galaxy.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
In his younger days, Traximus was once a Triceraton Republic soldier who greatly believed in the ways of Honor and Loyalty. But after a vile Triceraton named Zanramon came into power he swiftly turned the republic into a dictatorship and began heartlessly conquering worlds all across the galaxy, which placed the empire at odds with another empire called the Federation.
Not wanting to be a world-conqueror, Traximus went into politics and eventually rose to being part of the Triceraton senate where he would constantly question the Prime Leader's new intrusive ways, but his rebellious acts soon placed him at odds with Zanramon and he got sent to the Republic's stadium as a prisoner. There, Traximus was forced to become a gladiator and his battle experience soon made him a champion in the gladiator games, but fighting in arena for years almost made him forget about honor & mercy altogether, unaware that he was going to be reminded about it and finally restore peace to the Triceratons.
Reigniting his rebellious spirit[]
He later learned honor again by meeting and fighting the TMNT. The TMNT earned Traxmus's respect and the other gladiators. When Gruell offered the other gladiators last meals, Traximus gave a portion of it to the Turtles.
When the next round began, Traximus decided not to fight and helped the TMNT escape. They stole a cruiser and escape from both the Federation and the Triceratons.
Traximus joined the Battle Nexus to gather warriors to overthrow Zanramon. He helped TMNT fight the Ultimate Ninja and his assassins. After the Nexus, Traximus returned to the Triceraton planet to overthrow Zanramon and help the TMNT stop the Triceraton's invasion of Earth. Traximus later overthrew Zanramon and made peace with the Federation.
