Biography[]
The Foundation Elements[]
Lord Vortech arrives on the planet, Foundation Prime, where he and his minion, X-PO, discover the originated area of the Foundation Elements, artifacts created from the start of time and scattered across dimensions of various Lego franchises. Lord Vortech plans to gather these artifacts in order to rule all dimensions. Afterwards, he banishes X-PO despite owing him a pay raise.
He starts calling many villains from various dimensions to collect Foundation Elements. However most of them except Lord Business failed in it.
When the villains failed in their plots to stop Batman, Wyldstyle, and Gandalf from defeating them and gained new allies such as The Doctor, X-PO, and many others, Vortech took matters into his own hands by facing them in 1885 Hill Valley, later mysteriously retreating back to his lair at Foundation Prime. He confronted them again later, disguising himself as a mummy and attempting to steal a Diamond Scarab from the "Scooby-Doo" world. When the three heroes retrieved it from him, he was able to track them down, summoning the three to Foundation Prime and putting them in a maze while simultaneously sending the Joker to ransack their headquarters in Vorton. Vortech put the heroes at his mercy as he used the Foundation Elements to create a "perfect world" and destroy the Green Baseplate. He then uses it to merge Metalbeard, Robin, and Frodo together to create "The Tri", a triple-headed entity based mainly off of Metalbeard, but also adding elements of Robin and Frodo's costumes that could merge the worlds together. After the defeat of the Tri, the heroes attempted to escape the exploding robotic Tri-suit by way of a fragment of Vortech creating a singularity.
Final Battle[]
Assembling an army of their allies (and GLaDOS) to take on Lord Vortech, the three heroes set up a plan with the Doctor to trap Vortech in a Rift Loop, similar to a situation they had been put in before, but a now-omnipotent Vortech anticipated this, encountering them in their trip through their portal. Despite his nearly godlike status, Vortech was unable to stop the heroes from reaching Foundation Prime once more with a little help from the Doctor and his TARDIS. There, Vortech had a final showdown with the trio, eventually the Heroes destroyed the Green Baseplate and Lord Vortech was defeated by being sucked into one of his own portals, ending his threat. As punishment for his actions, the heroes trapped Vortech in an endless rift loop prison for all of eternity.
Post-Credits Scene[]
However, a small brick fragment of him remained on his lair at Foundation Prime, and an unfortunate individual stumbled across it. The Vortech fragment merged with the stranger, turning them into an entity similar to Vortech himself. It's unknown what happened to them afterwards.

Lord Vortech: After all these years of searching, it really exists. Foundation Prime! This depicts the Foundation Elements, artifacts from the start of time scattered across the dimensions. And only I can gather them in one place. X-PO: Just so you know... the Foundation Elements are the cornerstones of time and space. So they're... kinda important. To the... entire universe [nervously laughs]. Lord Vortech: Your services are no longer required [opens a rift behind X-PO]. X-PO: But the elements can't be safely harnessed - it's too dangerous! And what about that pay raise you promised meeeee... [gets dismembered and sent into the rift]?! Lord Vortech: I will have them all! I will control their power! I will make universes collide! [coughs and turns big] No! I will not be denied perfection! [reverts back to normal] My dedication to this work has taken its toll. Not for much longer can I freely pass between dimensions... arrghh! But, there is another way. [Starts building his palace and laughs maniacally] |

Trivia[]
- Lord Vortech's name seems to be deprived from the words "Vortex" and "Technology".
- It had been previously confirmed that Lord Vortech was set to receive his own physical figure by a game designer for the game. It was then later leaked that he would be included in a Fun Pack for Year 2. However, he failed to appear in the final wave of Year 2 and was cancelled after the announcement that LEGO Dimensions series would end and receive no more packs.
