Ancestor of Jay from Ninjago?

Wrong shade of blue.
We already know that Lord Vladek is the ancestor of Ogel.
Double Constraction! Double posts are back!
These guys made such great statues for the parks and streets of my Lego city.
As I recall my Knights’ Kingdom lore, Sir Jayko was the youngest of the four heroic knights and was mentored by Sir Danju, Sir Rascus, and Sir Santis. Despite this, it would be he who faced the usurper Lord Vladek and drove him from Morcia, allowing King Mathias to reclaim his rightful place. Jayko would then join his comrades in pursuing Vladek to a lost kingdom where he had established a new power base. After this victory, Jayko was named King of Morcia in Mathias’ stead. He would then be called upon to lead a new generation of knights against the resurgent Vladek-seriously, the guy was as bad as a comic book villain-and his Rogue Knights.
Going from Tahu to this is a bit of a whiplash. Nothing personal Jayko but you’re a bit of a proof of concept
Just realized...isn't the series name 'wrong'? I mean 'Knights' don't rule Kingdoms, Kings do...and 'Kingdom Knights' sounds proper grammatically...thoughts:)

Yes. Also, related to Jayce Talis.

True. I had 8790 King Mathias and did just that, since I didn't have any other use for him. He was comically large compared to a minifig, like Colossus of Rhodes.
