Jestro is a Nexo Knights minifigure released in 2016. He is the main antagonist of the theme until 2017, then becomes a supporting character in 2018 sets.

Description[]

Jestro, the clumsy jester, performed at the royal court. Juggling all sorts of things. Even a smartphone?! Suddenly, for the first time in a long, long time, Jestro finally got a laugh out of the King and Queen. Unfortunately, they were not laughing at him, but at something on their tablets. Jestro withdrew to the shadows and started plotting for revenge.

As an evil jester, Jestro's costume's main colors are red and purple. His face is white, with a large grin and several uneven teeth. His eyes are yellow with red irises, and he wears clown lipstick. His outfit is tattered and torn, exposing blood red garments underneath, and his collar has skulls in place of bells. He has a damaged cape and a staff with a jester-hat topper. He wields the Book of Monsters, which summons lava monsters into the Kingdom of Knighton.

As a weatherman, Jestro's costume's main colors are yellow and purple. His face is transparent light blue, with pointed fangs. His eyes are yellow with black irises, and he wears clown lipstick. Just as before, he has skulls around his collar, and his outfit is ripped, exposing parts of his light blue electrified skin. He has a damaged cape and a staff with a lightning bolt. He is with the Cloud of Monstrox, which summons stone monsters.

When Jestro is finally redeemed, his costume's main colors are orange and blue. His face is white, and he wears the clown lipstick. He has golden shoulder armor. He is with Clay and the Nexo Knights.

Background[]

Jestro is the main antagonist of the Nexo Knights theme. In the TV series, it has been revealed that he was once an ordinary, if not rather self-conscious and shy, jester until the Book of Monsters and Cloud of Monstrox convinced him to become evil. He and Monstrox then summoned the Lava Monster and Stone Monster Armies into the Kingdom of Knighton to destroy the Nexo Knights. Clay, one of said knights, was actually a friend of his, who tried to encourage and help him before his unsuccessful performance that caused a power outage. Jestro is eventually redeemed and becomes the supporting protagonist and a good jester. He would help the Nexo Knights. Jestro is with his friend Clay.

Likes To be bad

Jestro is not bad. He is just no good at being good. Or funny for that matter. He was King Halbert’s jester and every day people laughed at him. Except for when he actually tried to be funny, then they fell silent. One day Jestro had enough and he seized the opportunity to become so powerful that no-one would ever dare laugh at him again.

This support hero wanted to be the funniest figure in town. Instead, he became the most evil.

Trivia
Jestro was just a regular jester, chasing the laugh. But after a particularly unfunny stint he searched for... forbidden jokes. The Book of Monsters became his joke book, and as Monstrox's corruption took over, Jestro's grin grew more sinister.

Birthday Clown
Released in 2016.

Costume Party
Jestro has different minifigures for both his evil and redeemed versions.

Notes[]

  • His name is a play on "jester".
  • His appearance is similar to The Joker and Harley Quinn from DC Comics.
  • It has been observed that Jestro's toy figure looks a bit different than his appearances in promo videos and the TV series, as the figure has his Jester cap's flairs drooping in the traditional fashion, while in the videos and TV series, they are pointed upwards to resemble horns.
  • He's voiced by Vincent Tong, who also voiced Kai and Logan.
  • He is the third main antagonist who is redeemed in their series; the others are Garmadon from Ninjago and Cragger (later became a deuteragonist) from Legends of Chima.
