“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!”

-Grodus, Grodus Rising Chapter 7-5: Only in Death

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.

Soon after, Grodus sent Lord Crump to Chronis as a final chance; the planet had over half a dozen factions attempting to control it, and Lord Crump and the X-Nauts were defeated once more. Thus, Grodus decided to fire Crump, although the one good thing to come out of Chronis is while returning, Crump encountered the Shroobs, and they struck a partnership with them. Grodus learned of the Shroobs' fallen princess, and decided to kidnap Mario, disrupting a plan of Bowser's at the time. Once Mario was kidnapped, the Shroobs went to retrieve the remains of their princess, a simple mushroom.

At this time, Mario's brother, Luigi, as well as Yoshi made an attempt to find Mario. Grodus sent Crump to deal with them by rigging his Magnus von Grapple with a time bomb, eliminating all three... or so he thought: Somehow Luigi made it onto the X-Naut/Shroob ship, but he was too late as Mario was fed the Princess Shroob mushroom and Shroobified. Luigi and a team he had with him fought Grodus and Shrario, and in the end they were defeated and Mario was saved.

It was at that time, however, that Dr. Eggman] smashed his way into the ship, demanding to know the location of the Chaos Emerald on Star World. It was accidentally revealed to him the YB had it, and Eggman flew off, destroying the ship in the process. Grodus and the X-Nauts escaped, and their partnership with the Shroobs was terminated and Grodus decided to join the emerald search as well, leaving for Popstar where he defeated King Dedede and took the emerald on the planet; he then absorbed Dedede into his scepter, gaining Dedede's abilities with it.

Next Grodus detected another emerald flying near Popstar, and attacked the Hag 2, which Gruntilda was flying. He defeated her, as well as Popple and Bowser who had inexplicably gotten on the ship. With two emeralds and four absorbed characters, Grodus returned to Star World and defeated Dr. Eggman, Cackletta and Fawful, taking their three emeralds. He now had 5 and 7 characters, and easily defeated Mario, Luigi and Yoshi, taking their emeralds. He was nearly invincible now, but with a massive team of characters, he was eventually defeated, and his body was destroyed once more.
