“ | Greetings, friend. If you have found this recording, then I am no longer here. My name is Zane. I am a stranger in this land trying to find my way home. It is difficult to keep track of the days in this place. It feels like I've been here a long time. But I refuse to give up hope. The mech's processing unit is damaged. I may be able to fix it, but it requires running a diagnostic. I will attempt to connect myself to the mech's processor. As long as the cable is not disconnected, I should be okay. But if anything goes wrong, if this should be found one day, please relay this message. This is the last recording of Zane. Master of Ice. Son of Dr. Julien. Student of Master Wu. I was built to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I have tried to fulfill this purpose. I have no regrets. I had the best friends anyone could ask for. P.I.X.A.L., I love you. Farewell. | „ |

~ Dr. Julian about Zane's purpose. |
Zane Julian is one of the main characters of the LEGO Ninjago franchise. He is the current Elemental Master and Ninja of Ice, as well as the first Nindroid ever created, by inventor Dr. Julien.
He is voiced by Brent Miller. In the LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids handheld game, he is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal and in LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin, who also plays Sasuke Uchiha in Naruto, Simon in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Marth in Fire Emblem, Sun Ce in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Shinra Kishitani in Durarara!!, Makoto Yuki in Persona 3, Yosuke Hanmara in Persona 4, Suzaku Kururugi in Code Geass, Teenage Ben Tennyson in Ben 10, and Spider-Man in Marvel's Spider-Man. In The LEGO Ninjago Movie, he is voiced by Jared Zues.
Appearance[]
Usually seen in white clothing, Zane has a silver, formerly light blond, tall flattop haircut. He has a control panel in his chest which he can open up, containing switches for Vision, Audio, Voice, Power, Memory, and Humor — he also has a set of switches in his arm. In season 3, his power source is found in his chest.
After he was rebuilt, his body gained a titanium appearance and looked more cybernetic. As of Season 8, he has gained the ability to shift between appearances.
Age[]
Zane was created over 40 years ago, and thus, is by far the oldest of his fellow ninja. Due to his robotic nature, he does not age. He is designed to have the appearance of a young man in his late teens.
His new Titanium body is, at most, two years old, as of the events of Day of the Departed. However, Zane is now older because of his time in the Never-Realm, his body has aged further since time accelerates faster.
Personality[]
Zane is undoubtedly the most reserved and serious of the Ninja. He has little understanding of humor or even basic social conventions (as seen when he walked into the bathroom, despite Cole being on the toilet). He also has a very strong bond with Master Wu, being the most polite and respectful towards him. The other Ninja are occasionally wary of his strange habits, but they quickly learn to accept him for it regardless.
Initially, Zane was melancholy over his inability to remember his parentage or where he came from. He eventually accepted that the Ninja were his family and that their home was his home as well, but he never truly gave up on finding details of his past. Upon learning his origins, he was briefly struck by shock and depression, only to overcome his feelings and accept his robotic nature when he restored his memories. When he eventually reunited with his father/creator, Dr. Julien, he readily accepted him as his father figure.
Likewise, Zane is a very intelligent Nindroid. He has been through many changes lately, but is glad to be back with the Ninja team. His close friend, P.I.X.A.L., is now a part of his artificial intelligence, so he has "company" everywhere he goes. He wields the power of ice. After rebuilding himself as the Titanium Ninja, Zane has become even more accepting of his own robotic traits.
Zane is also extremely selfless and brave as shown when he sacrifices himself not once, but twice, when he saved Ninjago from the Overlord and his golden form by taking all the energy of the golden weapons (a lethal amount for everyone except for the Overlord and evil Garmadon) and blasting it back at the Overlord. The second time was when he jumped in the way of Aspheera and Wu when the former shot a spell that would banish the person to the never realm. The target was Wu, but Zane jumped in and saved him, showing his selfless side.
