“That fool Omega… He thinks he can stop me now. The entire universe thinks that, apparently. They think we are beaten, just because we have failed to achieve the illusion of ultimate power. But in the search for that power, we have found another, far greater! For even in the ashes of defeat, we have been able to achieve victory. Not only is the seventh emerald now in our grasp, but the ultimate weapon of the Metal Army is now in our use. We have had much sacrifice, and yet we are stronger for it. Let it be known, from this day forth, that the Secret Society of the X-Nauts has achieved triumph over the most powerful forces in the universe. Let it be known, that Lord Grodus, has risen once again!”

Sir Grodus was the leader of the Secret Society of the X-Nauts. He was a ruthless and stunning leader, working behind the scenes to obtain his goals. He was not above making alliances with other factions to better the X-Naut's goals, such as the Shroobs, Shadow Sirens, and even conscripting mercenaries. While his goals were considered immoral at best, he had always seen them as for the betterment of the X-Nauts. He eventually met his demise at the hands of the Metal Army, ending the X-Nauts.

History
The Forming of the X-Nauts
It is unknown where the X-Nauts came from. Some say they originated from the furthest reaches of the Kriken Empire, somehow missed by the Kirken's destructive gaze. Others even think they came from beyond the reaches of the known galactic borders.
What is know is that Grodus founded the X-Nauts in order to create an empire run specifically by them. Grodus specifically thought that all strife and warfare would end if a unifying force united every nation under one rule. Despite their technological superiority, their numbers were too low to pose much of a threat in direct warfare. Thus, Grodus and his two lieutenants, Lord Crump and Admiral Stalvick, settled on using stealth and guile to obtain artifacts of great power. Only then could Grodus control the mighty nations of the universe.
For years, Grodus commanding the X-Nauts in this way, trying to obtain artifacts and relics that would grant them the upper hand against their enemies. However, these artifacts either did them no good or were unobtainable.
At the turn of the century, Grodus discovered a prophecy surrounding a powerful demon locked on the planet Star World. With Stalvick preoccupied with another mission, Grodus and Crump decided to make their move on the planet.
The Shadow Queen Incident
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Vengeance and Conquest
Despite being merely a head and most of the X-Nauts gone, Grodus still wanted revenge. Not on Mario, however; on the Shadow Sirens and their queen, for decieving him. About a year later, when the Shadow Dimension invaded Star World, Grodus saw this as a perfect way to get his revenge. Swallowing what little pride he had left, he agreed to help The Yoshi Bodyguards take down the Shadow Creatures' main battleship so that they could get into the Shadow Dimension and defeat the leader, the Shadow King.
In exchange, Sneezier built for Grodus a new body (which, strangely enough, was never even a part of Grodus' original deal). Once the Shadow King was destroyed, Grodus and the remaining X-Nauts returned to Poshley Heights, where they had taken up residence. Grodus, however, did not plan to stay on the terms on which he got his new body (which was that he no longer do evil), for now that he had his revenge, he began a new plan. The X-Nauts developed an upgrade to his scepter to allow him time travel, and he traveled back in time to try and take over Star World in the past.
Grodus inexplicably arrived at Gisho Island's past, right when it was being invaded by Shoshis, and right when some YBs were traveling through Gisho Castle. Ignoring the mind-boggling probability of this occuring, the two fought after Grodus accidentally revealed his intentions (having not realized they were there). The Scepter was damaged, sending Grodus back to the present. With his evil tenancies found out, he and the X-Nauts left Poshley Heights to locate a more isolated base.
The Chaos Emeralds
The Chaos Emeralds had been scattered across Star World a couple months before Grodus took note of it. Thus, a year and a half after hiding out in Joke's End (after kicking Jojora out), the X-Nauts moved to Gisho Castle, where they kidnapped Princess Apricot, who had found a Chaos Emerald. Grodus then sent Lord Crump to Toadwood Forest to locate another emerald. He also hired Dryler, Lakeep and Zzub of Team Flash to help out, but learned that the YB had beaten them to it. The X-Nauts and YB fought one another for the emeralds, until the YB had all but the one the X-Nauts held.
Grodus had Lord Crump play the same role he did during the Shadow Queen incident, allowing the YB to get all the emeralds, but then stealing them from them when they encountered him on his new battleship. Just before Grodus could use them, however, King Rexor fell through the roof inexplicably, and he and Dr. Tyrato fought the YB. This gave Grodus enough time to grab the emeralds, but before he could activate them the ship was rocked by an attack and the emeralds fell out into the atmosphere. Dr. Eggman, Tabbir "Whirl", and Slike F. Elion then appeared, all vying for the emeralds, which ended in them scattering once more.
