Biography
Khyber was a male Zaroffian whose homeworld was the planet Sangerosia where he was one of the handful who have escaped from his extremely hostile home planet.
Khyber was hired by Malware and Dr. Psychobos to get Ben's Omnitrix so that they could reverse engineer it to build a device of "superior" quality. They paid him with their device based on the Omnitrix, the Nemetrix. Khyber spent an amount of time afterwards collecting the DNA of the most fierce and savage of the universe's predators and added their DNA to the Nemetrix. Khyber also collected a number of 'volunteers' from the Null Void, such as Phil Billings, to test out the Nemetrix. Nearly all the tests failed miserably, learning that only a non-sapient creature could operate the Nemetrix without suffering from severe side effects since "higher functioning" creatures could not handle the savage nature of the predators, ultimately attaching it to his dog, an Anubian Baskurr. Originally, he was later tasked to obtain DNA samples from Ben's Omnitrix to complete the Nemetrix.
He later spotted Ben investigating the wreckage of Pakmar's destroyed 'toilet store' and sent his dog to attack Ben as Crabdozer. Once Crabdozer had Spidermonkey pinned down, Khyber recalls her, observing that Ben was "worthy prey".
Khyber sent his dog after Ben again but this time as Buglizard. When Rook saved Ben, Khyber called Buglizard back until he could get Ben alone. Khyber got his chance to attack Ben when he was alone during his fight against Psyphon, sending Buglizard after him again but this time, Ben was able to defeat Buglizard as Shocksquatch. Later back at his ship, Khyber decided that Ben is more resourceful and skillful than he thought. (Episode: The More Things Change: Part 2) Khyber stealthily broke into Plumber HQ to steal information on his employer Malware and the Helix, watching a video depicting the first fight between Ben and Malware. Once the video was over, Khyber copied all files relating to the Helix, Ben, and Malware before he left. (Episode: Trouble Helix) Khyber sent his pet after Ben first at Burger Shack as Slamworm, whom Ben was able to defeat as Diamondhead. Later, Khyber sent his pet after Ben a second time at Dr. Animo's ant hill, where his pet had nearly defeated Crashhopper as Mucilator before Rook saved Ben. Ben defeated Mucilator by freeing Animo's Mutant Ants from his control and letting them attack Mucilator, forcing her to flee. Khyber tells his pet to be patient, as next time, Animo won't be getting in their way. (Episode: It Was Them) Khyber spotted Rook and Ben apparently breaking off their partnership and takes the opportunity to attack Ben in person with Zed, successfully capturing Ben after a grueling battle between the two Omnitrix users. (Episode: Of Predators and Prey: Part 1) Khyber brought Ben to his ship and explained to him his history with his old nemesis, Malware. Afterwards, he and Rath got into a short fight in which Khyber easily won using a simple nerve pinch. However, Rook arrived and saved Ben, revealing that their earlier break up was part of an elaborate ruse to lure Khyber and Zed out of hiding. (Episode: Of Predators and Prey: Part 2)
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Khyber was a male alien humanoid wearing a black suit that covered his upper body with a red stripe in the middle and grey pants. He has grey gloves and a grey belt, as well as black boots with grey soles. He wears bones as ornamentation over his clothes, which consists of a ribcage on his chest, a tail bone on his right shoulder, a horned animal skull on his left shoulder, ribs covering the back of his black suit and boots, and claws on his shoes.
Khyber has a calm and serious personality. Unlike most villains Ben and his allies have encountered, Khyber cares not for posturing; he does not monologue about his plans nor does he treat his opponents/targets as powerless before him. Rather, he is straight to business with a no-nonsense attitude. He does, however, take great pride in his status as a hunter, often commenting on it when looked down by others, to which he can get distracted when reaffirming his status.
