Master Chen is an antagonist and one of the non-playable characters in LEGO Dimensions, from the Ninjago franchise.
Background[]
In Ninjago, Master Chen is represented as the main antagonist of the fourth season of the TV show. At first, he is seen as the face of a popular chain of noodle restaurants in Ninjago, but it is eventually discovered that he is running an underground crime ring, when he invites several different elemental masters, including the ninja to his island, where they compete in what he calls the tournament of elements. However, he uses this as a way to secretly steal the powers of the elemental masters, so that he and his followers could transform into Anacondrai and take over Ninjago. He is eventually defeated when he and his followers get cursed by the banished Anacondrai generals, who have been freed from the cursed realm by Sensei Garmadon.
Dimensions Crisis[]
Elements of Surprise[]
At the start of the level, Chen was watching the fight between Jacob and Eyezor when suddenly Gandalf, Batman, and Wyldstyle appeared from a rift and interrupted the fight. He wondered if Clouse had arranged this, but when he said he didn't he was still excited by the 'surprise guests', and sends Griffin Turner to face them. After the three defeat him by constructing a treadmill, they then face Gravis who is defeated easily by the trio manipulating portals with the shift keystone. After constructing a magnet to the Fangpyre Wrecking Ball present in the arena, they defeat their third and final opponent, Karlof, and Chen declares that they have cheated and must be punished. Using the buttons on his throne, he attempts to cast the trio down one of his trapdoors but is unable to do so. They are then interrupted by the arrival of Lex Luthor in his power suit from another rift, who orders Chen to hand over his Staff of Elements, which unbeknownst to him was a Foundation Element. Chen refuses to do so and ordering no more surprise guests, uses the staff to shoot fire at the mech, and seeing it has no effect on the suit, he escapes in his throne down a trapdoor being followed by the heroes and Luthor, who end up in his maze of the Underground Caverns. Chen assures them that they will never escape and sends his minions to attack them.
He is later cornered by Lex in his Anacondrai Temple, but the heroes manage to defeat him. After Luthor is sucked in a rift by Vortech, the staff of Elements merges with the elemental keystone the heroes had taken earlier, which Chen claims and attacks the heroes by using the elements against them to create difficult environments, but is soon defeated as well. Gandalf grabs the staff as Chen is sucked away by a new rift. Apparently, he was recruited by Lord Vortech since he can be seen with the other villains on later levels.

Trivia[]
- In the TV series, Master Chen is voiced by Ian James Corlett. In LEGO Dimensions, he is voiced by William Salyers.
- It is not known exactly if Vortech recruited him, but his case may be similar to that of Gollum, who was not recruited by Vortech but is caught by one of his portals after being defeated.
- Curiously, it can be said that in this version of events Lord Vortech saved Chen's life, since by capturing him he prevented the Ninjago events of the 2015 season from happening and therefore Chen would never die.
