Biography[]
Past[]
Twenty years before the events of the series, Necrolai was one of Octomus's top generals and minions. She, alongside Morticon, led the armies of the Underworld against the Human World with the intentions of conquering and enslaving the Earth and humanity. However, the armies of the Underworld were all beaten by the ancient powerful wizards, called the Mystics and eventually Leanbow sacrificed himself to seal the Master in the Underworld. However, the Master managed to trap Leanbow with himself and used his dark magic powers to transform Leanbow into Koragg, his loyal Wolf-Knight servant. Necrolai remained in the Underworld for decades, but she could use her wings to fly and watch the Human World.
Mystic Force[]
Twenty years later, Necrolai freed herself from the imprisonment in the Underworld and flew to the Human World, serving Octomus and Morticon and enforcing their orders. In her first encounter with the Mystic Rangers, Necrolai fought and captured Nick, Madison and Xander and fed them to the giant monster Mucor. However, their friends Chip and Vida quickly rescued their fellow Rangers and defeated Mucor. From this time, Necrolai became one of the Mystic Rangers's archenemies and fought them frequently, usually leading the armies of Hidiacs and Styxoids and carrying the missions of attacking the Surface World by using the monsters of the Underworld.
This Morlock spy is frequently disrespected by Koragg and Morticon, who often call her a "hag." She can fly and usually scouts the area for Morticon. However, Necrolai is usually is the one who brings up monsters and thinks up the schemes.
Necrolai fought the Rangers multiple times and created new schemes and plans to defeat them by using her magic powers. In the episode Fire Heart, the Vampire Queen tried to find the powerful artefact called the Fire Heart to defeat the Power Rangers but she managed to only find and obtain the half of the map to the artefact, while the Rangers obtained the second half. Morticon scolded and was wrathful at the vampire queen for this failure. Later in the episode Stranger Within, Necrolai managed to transform Vida Rocca, the Pink Mystic Ranger into the vampire and her loyal servant. Necrolai tried to destroy the Rangers by turning them against their friend, but fortunately Chip created and used the Morning Crystal and used the artefact to destroy Necrolai and revert Vida to normal.
It was later revealed in the second half of the two-part episode "Stranger Within", Necrolai is also the mother of Leelee. In the episode "Petrified Xander", She once off-handedly commented that she turned Leelee's father into a worm. She seemed to care little for Leelee, often ignoring or belittling her, and once using her as a guinea pig, in the episode "Scaredy Cat", she shoved her into a barrier that had disintegrated three Hidiacs to see if she'd weakened it enough for an evildoer to be able to pass.
In the episode "The Gatekeeper", Necrolai was tasked by Morticon to find the Gatekeeper, the powerful wizard, who was able to reopen the Gates of the Underworld and release the armies of the Underworld to the Surface. For this goal, the vampire queen tried to destroy the Power Rangers by enhancing her abilities with the magic of Koragg. She initially overwhelmed herthe Rangers with her new powers, but Claire used her mother's powers for the first time and defeated the villainess.
In the final part of the two-part episode "The Gatekeeper", when Morticon fell at the hands of the Rangers, in the episode "Scaredy Cat", Necrolai was sent by the Master to retrieve Imperious. For some reason, she never seemed to fear the dark wizard and much more frequently questioned him, despite his initially showing himself to be quite stronger than Morticon.
In the episode the Ranger Down, Imperious gave Necrolai the magic of Koragg and Necrolai frequently used this dark magic against the Rangers. Later, when Imperious released the Barbarian Beasts and kidnapped Jenji, using the cat genie's powers to create the alternate reality where Mystic Rangers never existed, Necrolai was the top general and slaver in the occupied Briarwood and was slaving the people, before eventually fighting the Mystic Rangers again when they restored their powers with the help of the Mystic Tribunal.
In the final part of the two-part episode "Heir Apparent", after Leanbow freed the Rangers from the Underworld, the Master weakened him, allowing Necrolai to capture Leanbow and bring him back to the pit, where he was once again turned into Koragg.
In the aftermath of the battle in the episode "The Light", which saw the death of Imperious and the ruination of the villains' lair, Necrolai was shown having a few doubts about her current role, but the discovery of the Book of Prophecy changed all that. Ignoring her daughter entirely, she followed the Book's instructions and provoked the Ten Terrors into attacking the Surface.
Eventually in the episode "The Snow Prince", when Sculpin discovered it was Leanbow preventing the Master's return, Sculpin hatched a plan to draw him out, and had Necrolai plant one of Sculpin's scales on him. This let the Terrors track him down and retrieve the Master's spirit.
In the first part of the two-part series finale episode "Mystic Fate", when Itassis was chosen to punish the Surface World, Necrolai asked that her daughter be spared, but Sculpin decided that if Leelee chose to live with humans, she deserved to die with them. When Itassis, who had never sought conquest or destruction for its own sake but followed the Master's orders, was convinced not to destroy the Surface World, Necrolai was ordered to lead the Terrors to her, and reluctantly obeyed. She was there to witness Itassis being killed by Sculpin and Black Lance.
In the final part of the two-part series finale episode "Mystic Fate", Itassis returned to fight against the Master, and Necrolai revealed that it was she who had resurrected Itassis (due to her showing Necrolai kindness). She further demonstrated this ability by also resurrecting Daggeron, Leanbow, and Jenji, who had been struck down earlier. Her powers exhausted, she reverted to a human form, later known as Nikki. She was last known to be living as a civilian in Briarwood, by moving into a condo with Leelee, and dating Toby.
