~ Ethan Zilgo about Fletcher. |
Ethan Zilgo is a character from the LEGO Nexo Knights franchise, appearing as a minor antagonist in The Forbidden Power book. He is a rich kid and a freshman at the Knights' Academy who looks down on people of lower class.
What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- He is shown to be very arrogant and prideful of his social status.
- He expresses his disdain towards commoners and even orphans several times throughout the book.
- During his first meeting with Fletcher, the narration says that he observed the orphan kid as if he was "the human embodiment of skin rash", solely due to his ignorance.
- While he appears to be friends with Beak, their relationship isn't fleshed out and it's unclear if they truly care for each other.
- He bribed Chef Munch to give him a clue to the location of Ned Knightley's sword with silver and gold, but when he did give him a clue, only paid him with copper.
- While he won the students' field quest, it's not treated as a fair victory, since he achieved it by bribing.
- During a class, he picked Fletcher as his sparring partner and pretended to show remorse for insulting him, only to use it as an excuse to beat him up.
- He insincerily apologized to the teacher about his actions, which led to him pairing up him and Fletcher once again during the Combatition, an opportunity that Zilgo used to humiliate the orphan in front of the entire school.
- Despite considering himself a fan of Lance Richmond, he shows no respect towards his sister over her siding with Fletcher.
- In the end, he doesn't suffer any significant consequences for his actions and plans to "expose" Fletcher as a "fraud".
- He lacks any redeeming qualities, "evil is cool" moments or comedic traits the other Nexo Knights antagonists have, and most characters in the franchise hold no respect to him due to his actions.
Trivia[]
- Ethan Zilgo and Jorah Tightwad are the only two Nexo Knights Hate Sinks.
- Ethan Zilgo appears to be based off Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter franchise, as both characters are rich kids and students of prestigious schools who bully the main protagonist with magic abilities. However, unlike Ethan, Draco ultimately reformed and no longer counts as a Hate Sink.
- At least two sequels for The Forbidden Power were planned but got cancelled. If they were released and Zilgo appeared in them, it's possible that he would also change and no longer be a Hate Sink.
