Azmuth (Ben 10)

Azmuth is an extraterrestrial animated television character who features in Ben 10.

Biography

Azmuth was a highly intelligent male member of the Galvan species. As a tadpole, Azmuth achieved a perfect score on his G.A.T.s, an early display of his genius intellect showing this before he became the First Thinker.

In his youth, Azmuth enjoyed a relationship with a female Galvan named Zennith, and while on a date with her, witnessed a planetary alignment. The sight inspired Azmuth to create a powerful sword, which brought his romance with Zennith to an end as she disapproved of his creation. Later realizing for himself the dangers of the sword, Azmuth began to dedicate himself to peaceful science, eventually creating the Omnitrix, hoping to create a means for the races of the galaxy to live in harmony. He used the Omnitrix's Collect Mode to gather the DNA of thousands of species over hundreds of years.[pop-up 1][14] He also hoped that it might redeem him in Zennith's eyes.

He was involved in Galvan B's transformation and the creation of the Galvanic Mechamorphs. It was shown that he created the Galvanian Skeuomorph to destroy B.L.R.R.T..

Azmuth had observed all of Ben's activities through secret devices on the Omnitrix well before he met him.

Azmuth was found in his lab on Xenon by Cannonbolt, Tetrax, and Myaxx, where he was eventually convinced to turn off the Omnitrix's self-destruct. He also unlocked Way Big so Ben could defeat Vilgax. Azmuth modified one of Vilgax's Mechadroid's heads to leave Xenon in it, taking Myaxx with him. When Ben asked Azmuth if he wished to take back the Omnitrix since it was his creation, Azmuth refused to take it back and let Ben keep it because he considered it trouble.

Azmuth inspired by Ben's obvious concern for his family decided to reunite with his own after a long absence. After detecting a strange signal coming from the Omnitrix, he contacted Tetrax and arranged to meet the Petrosapien on Earth. Traveling to Earth using his Mechadroid-head ship, Azmuth disguised it as a semi-truck and headed for his rendezvous with Tetrax. He was then contacted by his concerned father, who watched as a strange light coming from the malfunctioning Omnitrix shone over Azmuth and his ship crashed.

When a malevolent looking To'kustar appeared on the video feed following Azmuth's disappearance, his father came to believe that Azmuth had perished at the hands of the giant alien. Donning the Mechamorph Armor created by Azmuth, his father traveled to Earth, where he ran into Ben. At first unaware that Ben was transforming between different alien forms, unable to revert to human due to Tetrax activating a feature of the Omnitrix. He demanded to know the whereabouts of the To'kustar. Ben had fought the giant alien only for it to disappear. They would later discover that the being had been downloaded into the Omnitrix. Following the To'kustar's escape from the Omnitrix, the Tennyson family realized that the giant being was Azmuth himself, mutated by the malfunctioning device and so disturbed by the change that he was unable to recognize his own father or friends. Eventually, they brought him out of it, and Azmuth used the Mechamorph armor to repair the Omnitrix and revert himself back into his normal Galvan form. Azmuth's father then revealed his own Galvan form, which was younger than that of his son. This was due to Azmuth transferring his father's mind into a clone body. Father and son forgave each other for their misdeeds, with Azmuth confessing that he should have warned his father about the armor's tendency to increase aggression. Azmuth also helped restore Ben's parents, who had likewise been transformed into aliens, to normal. He commented on the Omnitrix's malfunction being caused by a manna overload, confusing Gwen, who was ignorant at the time about her Anodite lineage. Azmuth and his father then returned home.

Overview

Personality and attributes

Azmuth was very paranoid, as evidenced by the amount of work he put into hiding his home from the rest of the universe. He was a bit impolite. He originally refused to repair the Omnitrix and was willing to let the universe get destroyed.

Azmuth was also very pessimistic, unwilling to shut down the Omnitrix's self-destruct at first, even though it would have caused the destruction of the universe. The reason why is that he simply didn't think the universe was worth saving. The reason he invented the Omnitrix was so the beings of the universe would have a better understanding of each other, but those like Vilgax only wanted to use it as a weapon of war.
