Background
The First Spinjitzu Master's origins are unknown, but it is said that he had created the world of Ninjago, using for Golden Weapons; the Scythe of Quakes, the Shurikens of Ice, the Nunchucks of Lightning, and the Sword of Fire, weapons so powerful that no mortal could possess all at once. He obtained the gold from these weapons at the Temple of Light and the forged them at the Golden Peaks.
He also created a martial art called "Spinjitzu", a powerful technique: when performing the art, one can become an elemental tornado by spinning quickly. It was created based on four elements: earth, fire, ice, and lightning. At some point he perfected the art of Spinjitzu with an ancient art called the Golden Dragon. This form was the most powerful and represented full control of all the elements, yet only he was capable of doing it.
However, in order for their to be light, there had to be shadow. Because of this natural order, an evil spirit known as the Overlord emerged. The First Spinjitzu Master fought the Overlord, but both had equal power, but the battle remained balanced. However, the Overlord attempted to break the balance by creating the Stone Army out of an indestructible material.The First Spinjitzu Master knew he could not win and split the Ninjago into in two. The First Spinjitzu Master remained on the right side, while the Overlord remained on the left, being known as the Dark Island. This also made the Stone Army freeze beneath the ground.
He later then had two sons named Wu and Garmadon. He trained them for many years during their childhood. While their father was polishing the golden weapons, Wu lost his katana. They knew their father would be angry if Wu lost it. Garmadon told him to retrieve it, but Wu refused. Garmadon told Wu to "never put off what can be done today", a lesson they learned from their father, and went to retrieve it himself.
Later, their father found Garmadon, who looked very ill, laying on a ground. Garmadon had been bitten by the legendary snake called the Great Devourer, which has the capacity to grow infinitely based on the amount it consumes. After that, the venom of a snake started to take effect in Garmadon's body and turn him evil. The First Spinjitzu Master kept on checking his son's health, while Wu looked on. Garmadon woke up and yelled at his father to leave his snake bite alone. His father felt puzzled and confused over what had happened to his older son.
Sometime, the First Spinjitzu Master had told Wu that his final resting place will remain unknown and he will leave a hint for Wu to its location.
