History[]
Jase debuted in "The Purple Jacket". He and his club members were rehearsing their infiltration of the Nakamura vault when he was approached by a disguised Donatello, interested in joining the club. Kendra initially dismissed Donnie, but after he showcased his inventions, she agreed to make him a Purple Dragons member. She gave him a club jacket which, unbeknownst to Donnie, had technology embedded in it, allowing Jase and his club to remotely command his Battle Shells and Tech-Bō to travel to his location later that night. He used Donnie's inventions to rob various New York City electronics stores before breaking into the Nakamura vault with the plan to download the main server's source code. He successfully downloaded the code by the time April O'Neil and Donnie arrived, but was stopped from escaping the building by them reclaiming the Battle Shells.
Jase reappeared in "The Purple Game". As an act of revenge for foiling the Purple Dragon's Nakamura vault heist and consequently getting them put on house arrest, Jase and his club created an online video game named The Purple Game to fool Donnie into piloting the Giant Mech in New York City under the guise of a video game. After Donnie unlocked a chair fitted with Purple Dragon technology from The Purple Game as an achievement, he activated the chair's restraints and hacked the monitor in the lair's arcade, intending to force Donnie to watch the club hurt his brothers with their Giant Mech.
Jase was flight testing his drone at a New York playground in "Breaking Purple" as he wanted to participate in a drone race to win the Shadow Transmitter which would give them the power to hack any computer worldwide. The club's practice was interrupted by S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N.'s appearance who had ran from the lair, but Kendra helped S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. escape his restraining bolt that was fastened to him by Donnie. She invited him to hang out with the club for the rest of the night and eventually made him member of the Purple Dragons. Later that night, Kendra entered S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. into the New York City drone race at Thunder Drone, but he lost the race and, by extension, the Shadow Transmitter due to Donnie's sabotage. Angered by the race results, Kendra made her ill-intent towards S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. clear, effectively expelling him from the Purple Dragons, and Jase attempted to attack Donnie to take the Shadow Transmitter from him by force using a robotic dragon the club had constructed. However, the attack failed as the robot malfunctioned and Jase and his club left the building vowing revenge.
