Chase Young is a renegade Xiaolin monk turned evil in exchange for superhuman strength and immortality. He was once a former Xiaolin Warrior and a near-Xiaolin Dragon until Hannibal Roy Bean came along. He had served as a continuously impending villain to the Xiaolin monks. He is also Kimiko's husband.
He has two signature forms; one was his true form, and the other was his lizard form, resembling that of a dragon. This was due to his consumption of the Lao Mang Long Soup. He has lived for over 1,500 years, and yet has the appearance of a young adult. This is also caused by the Lao Mang Long Soup, which had kept him forever young, but cost him his soul. His eyes were very different from most humans; he did not have normal eyes, but reptilian slits like in his lizard form. He preferrs to wear a suit of armor, unlike Wuya or Hannibal.
Personality
He is a very proud, narcissistic character, holding his fighting skills in high regard. He deems most other characters as below himself, showing no respect or even acknowledgement of their abilities with the potential exception of Hannibal Roy Bean. This ego affects his modus operandi as well; most of his plans are inherently grand. He spends most of season two successfully turning Omi to evil, and he later resurrects Wuya without the majority of her powers. In addition to his large scale schemes showcasing his ego, he does have a knack for subtlety using a spy to gain information on the Xiaolin Monks and manipulating events during season two. He relies on fear to keep his minions in line. He is well known for his contempt of the notion that Shen Gong Wu are necessary to win battles. Even when fighting showdowns for personal gain, he relies on his martial arts alone. On the few occasions when he does use Shen Gong Wu, he usually uses them for manipulating opponents as part of a larger plan. An excellent example is when he challenged Omi to a conventional Xiaolin Showdown in The New Order. He only did this as a
ruse so the other monks would not suspect of an alliance growing between him and Omi. When he was on the side of good, his personality was similar to both Omi's and Raimundo's. His affable, charismatic personality and refined manners easily won over Omi when they first met 1500 years previously. His quest to be the strongest warrior would eventually lead him to betray his friends. Despite his turn to evil, he still retains a code of honor and has yet to go back on his word, allowing Master Monk Guan and the Xiaolin Warriors to leave after losing to the former in battle, and freeing Omi from his control after losing another showdown. When he had met Kimiko for the first time he had simply thought of her as a weak little girl, but was proven terribly wrong once she had beaten him in hand-to-hand combat alone without using her elemental abilites. And, in which he come to find out about her disabilites later on; had become obessed with having her by his side.
History
At one time, he was once on the side of good; however, Hannibal Roy Bean had told him that he could only achieve his destiny as the greatest warrior of all time on the Heylin side. Hannibal showed a fake hologram to his of his former best friend, Master Monk Guan saying he would soon destroy him. He was convinced to drink the Lao Mang Lone Soup, which ended up costing him his soul and gave him eternal youth as well as the ability to transform into a lizard at will. The main ingredient in the soup is dragons. But he, so overwhelmed by his new power, had betrayed Hannibal Bean and sealed him in the Ying-Yang World for many years. He had lived for so long that he has been around the world. Wherever he went, he defeated great warriors. Whenever he defeats a warrior, he takes control of their chi and their physical form, transforming them into a legion of Jungle Cats. The Jungle Cats were lions, tigers, and panthers, but on his command, retake their human form, or other forms such as birds. He can give these animal minions any command by simply snapping his fingers. He first met the monks when Master Monk Guan traded Dojo for his Spear of Guan. He wanted the dragon so he could cook his Lao Mang Long Soup. However, when the monks came to rescue Dojo, they where no match for the villain, until Master Monk Guan returned and defeated him in a showdown. He had honored his defeat and let them all go, since he gave his word that he would let them go should he fail. Throughout the rest of the season, he showed to be a most formidable foe for the young monks all except for Kimiko, who had beaten him in hand-to-hand combat without the use of her powers, and a idol for the Evil Boy Genius, Jack Spicer mostly to his
disgust. He used Jack as a pawn in most of his plans, despite his hate towards the presence of the wanna-be world conqueror. he even allied himself with Wuya in his grand plan to turn Omi to the Heylin Side. Now it was time to put his plan into action; he sent Master Fung in to the Ying-Yang World, so that Omi would go into the Ying-Yang World with the newly revealed Shen Gong Wu, the Ying Yo-Yo. He did this so that when Omi returned he would have left behind all his good chi and turn evil, plunging the world into 1,000 years of darkness. His plan worked out perfectly. Now that the world was his, and Omi was turned to the Heylin Side, he returned to the Xiaolin Temple for Wuya to get the Serpent's Tail and the Reversing Mirror, so that he could restore her to her human form. However, when he returned her to her human form, he did not release her god-like powers; for if she were to gain them, she would be more powerful than him. The reasons why he returned her to her human form, and how he managed to do this without restoring her powers is currently unknown, although he did regard her as a worthy partner in evil. Unknown to him, the monks traveled to the Ying-Yang World to get Omi and Master Fung's chi, which would make them good again. They succeeded in this mission. However, to their disappointment, Omi, in his evil state, had sworn his loyalty to him. Therefore, he could turn him into one of his slaves as a Jungle Cat, and with Omi's power combined with his own, he was able to become even more powerful than before. The world as his and the monks were without hope since the Chi Creature was unleashed upon the earth and had taken their Chi, with the exception of Kimiko and her unlimited amount of Chi. However, Dojo and the now Good Jack Spicer went back into the Ying-Yang World to get back their Chi and bring them back in his Palace, where the monks challenged him to a Xiaolin Showdown for Omi's freedom. The monks succeeded, and the world was returned to normal, including Omi's freedom. He was greatly humilited that he was defeated by a mere child. He later come to find out about Kimiko's disabilites and soon became fascinated by her which later grew into obession/love for her and wanting her to rule by his side. Due to Kimiko's disabilities he began to dig into her family history and learned that she is a direct descendent of
both Clow Mistress Sakura Li and the great sorcerer Clow Reed himself; which now means that she had inherited all of the powers/abilities and the Cards. Now through most of the season, he lived in his palace with Wuya, and the pair worked together on many occasions. However, when Hannibal Roy Bean returned, Wuya sided with him to make a plan to destroy him during the Heylin Eclipse, but they failed and Wuya and Hannibal parted ways, she also teamed with Jack occasionally to try and gain more Wu. Some time after these events, he and Wuya decided to stay together for the sake of evil, and joined the other villains at the standoff in the last episode. Omi had to go back in time to try to stop Hannibal Bean form turning him to the Heylin side. In this alternate present, he was the trainer of the monks and Kimiko's fiancée, but they were in poor condition with few Wu because of various encounters with Wuya and an evil Master Monk Guan who was deceived by Hannibal. Omi had came to realize this plan did not end up working out for the best, and therefore the timeline was changed back to its original history with him on the Heylin Side; this was achieved with the help of himself to free the others. Despite this, Omi still seems to have hopes of returning him back to the side of good. Kimiko and he were engaged in the alternate timeline and had a very strong relationship with each other. He may seem like a cold-hearted man when you meet him but when with Kimiko he is a hopeless romantic.
Chronicles
Sometime after the events of the final episode, he understood that it would be easier to defeat the Xiaolin, if he had some help. So he turned one of his ribs into Shadow. Shadow became his apprentice and he passed his knowledge to her to become more and more powerful. After some months he had sent Shadow to the Xiaolin Temple. Shadow had transformed into a sweet girl that seduced the boys of the temple. That way she managed to learn where the vault was and which was the combination of it. He stole all the Shen Gong Wu, defeated Master Fung and destroyed the Xiaolin Temple. After that, one of his plans failed, because of Jack's stupidness and he cooperated with the monks to help him fix the problem. Later, he transformed every monk, except for Omi, into cat warriors. However his mighty plans to conquer the world with the monks failed when Omi won a Showdown and he took back his friends freedom. After that he seemed to be interested in Kimiko's elder sister, as he wanted to make her, his ally which made Shadow jealous. He still continues to try to woo, Kimiko every chance he gets.
Omi was one of two people that he had some respect for regarding his fighting styles and even helping him when he was in trouble with other villains, like Jack Spicer and Hannibal Roy Bean. He also seemed to be intent on turning Omi to the Heylin side, and Omi seemed intent on turning him to the Xiaolin Side. These two seemed to share a resemblance of a father/son relationship.
Wuya
One of his most notable relationships was the one he shared with the Heylin witch. During the third season, the two lived together in his palace and worked together on many occasions. He also seemed to have a sense of respect for her, regarding her as a worthy partner in evil. However, when Hannibal came along she began to work with him in hopes of regaining her powers and becoming independent. Despite this, they settled their differences and decided to stay together for the sake of evil, hinting at some sort of relationship between the pair.
Hannibal Roy Bean
Hannibal is perhaps the biggest threat in the universe, aside from Wuya, that he had. He and Hannibal shared a certain master/student relationship at first, until he double crosses him and locked him in the Ying-Yang World.which Omi accidentally free him by mistake as hr use the Moby Morpher to disguise hisself as Jack Spicer to fool the others Now he serves as his biggest rival on the Heylin side and one of two people that are strong and skilled enough to stand up against him.
He harbors a deep love for her almost to the point of obsession. It had begun when he was first introduced in the series, as when her teammates attacked him, she did not. Once she knew her friends were defeated, she had beated him without the use of her abilities and with only hand-to-hand combat.
Shadow
He had created her from one of his ribs and took her in as his apprentice. Both of them get along very well and maintain a good relationship. He hopes one day he'll rule the world with Kimiko as his wife and Shadow as his daughter side-by-side.
