Biography

Van Kleiss

After Skalamander pushed Rex, Bobo, and Noah into a portal to Abysus, Van Kleiss walked towards the group as little flowers sprouted around his feet. He then stated who he and his Pack were and what they were there for. Afterward, Van Kleiss directed them to his castle. As all of them walked through the deteriorated castle, Van Kleiss told them that the nanites were a gift, which Rex swiftly disagreed with. Van Kleiss replied that they're 'not all savages' and that Rex had barely realized his full potential. Rex wondered how he could know about his potential when he did not know anything about his past, to which Van Kleiss said he would tell him about his history. He first told Biowulf to take Noah and Bobo to the garden. After they left, he led Rex to a throne room and told Rex of the Nanite Event. After he finished, Rex asked what it had to do with him. Van Kleiss replied that it had everything to do with him, at which point numerous roots burst through the castle floor and seized Rex. Van Kleiss said that his body was unstable and required a constant supply of fresh nanites and that Rex's should be very nourishing. Then the pins on his fingers turned into needles and he stabbed Rex's chest with them. Van Kleiss stated that he was disappointed in Rex for not putting up a fight. Noah and Bobo returned from the garden to where Rex and Van Kleiss were, and Bobo threw a large rock at Van Kleiss, giving Rex the chance to fight back. He kicked Van Kleiss into a wall and the three fled on Rex's Boogie Pack. The group dodged gigantic roots and trees trying to take them down as they flew away from the castle. Van Kleiss manifested himself through very large trees and asked where Rex was running to, as Providence would just use him as a weapon and lock him up. This caused Rex's nanites to short out and the three crashed into the forest. During the final fight in Abysus, Van Kleiss kept Agent Six away and the Pack fought as well. However, Rex's nanites reactivated and he went for the final blow on Van Kleiss with his BFS. It hit and Van Kleiss was cut in half, but it is shown as the group left that he resurrected himself from his land.

Van Kleiss only appears at the end of the episode but it is clear that he had his Pack kidnap Peter Meechum's daughter Sarah Meechum so that Peter would be forced to work for him. Biowulf reports that Meechum has been cured and Van Kleiss has no outward response. Van Kleiss learns from Biowulf (off screen) that his new recruit Circe, had help from Rex in defeating a sea monster EVO, a task that would provide her initiation with The Pack. Yet, Van Kleiss lets her join anyway intending to use their blossoming relationship to coerce Rex to his side. Van Kleiss arrive with his Pack in a strange whale blimp EVO. Providence, who caught wind of the EVO in restricted air space, has sent units of solders and Rex and Agent Six to intercept it. When it is revealed to Rex who is in the EVO he immediately attacks. He cannot land any blows on Van Kleiss due to his diplomatic immunity. Rex is understandably annoyed at this but until Van Kleiss or one of his Pack break that immunity they are untouchable. Van Kleiss, Biowulf, and Skalamander are next seen at a formal party. He greets Rex and Doctor Holiday politely, brushing off Rex's accusations and tells him that "not everything is about you." After Rex is captured he ends the party, thanking all the guests before leaving himself. After that he is seen with The Pack walking into the UN building. Biowulf tells Van Kleiss that Rex has escaped, but Van Kleiss says it doesn't matter. After an interlude he steps up to the pedestal and addresses all present. As he is speaking he uses his powers to rise above everyone, trap all inside, and begin to cover all of the city in roots. Rex and Van Kleiss fight soon after this, with Rex ultimately figuring out how to defeat Van Kleiss as his native soil is dumped into the East River he becomes significantly less powerful but still summons vines to subdue Rex. But after the soil has diffused too much all the roots and vines wither and break apart, freeing Rex, who then punches Van Kleiss. He stops Rex from killing him by saying that he knows about Rex's parents, which shocks Rex. Van Kleiss then takes the opportunity to flee on a giant fly-like EVO.
