Azmuth
-
Azmuth is a 6-inch-tall Galvan from Galvan Prime. A well regarded scientist, inventor and philosopher on not only his home planet, but most of the known universe. His vast scientific knowledge has benefited several civilisations and organisations, including the Plumbers, the Galvanic Mechamorphs, and indirectly, Ben Tennyson. His powerful Omnitrix is what made Ben a galactic hero, so instead of taking it away, he guides and mentors Ben on his journey to becoming the Hero of Heroes.

Being over 5000 years old, he has made several inventions and galactic contributions. Most notably the DNA Altering Omnitrix, the World Ending weapon Ascalon, Universal Translators, Light Speed Space Travel, and the creation of an entire species, the Galvanic Mechamorphs.
Azmuth made the Omnitrix as a way of allowing other life-forms to understand each other better by physically becoming them. It was also made as a genetic bank for almost every sapient species in the galaxy and several others beyond. It took him 250 years to build it.
Due to his creation Ascalon, the Incursion’s home world was destroyed by the weapon and thus devolved into a 1000 year long war among the species. This is his greatest shame and a secret reason for why he built the Omnitrix.
He initially didn’t approve of Ben using his device as a weapon. But he eventually comes around when he sees all of the good Ben does with the Omnitrix, and he’s glad someone isn’t using it to conquer the Universe.
Azmuth doesn’t meet Ben until 6 months after he found the Omnitrix. During this, he monitors his adventures through secret surveillance devices inside the watch.
Azmuth’s original plan was to send the Omnitrix to Grandpa Max, the greatest plumber in the galaxy, as they collaborated several times during his career as a plumber and shows great respect for him. When Ben found the watch, his DNA was close enough to Max’s for it to bond.
Azmuth’s greatest rival is Vilgax. As he has tried to conquer Azmuth’s home world Galvan Prime for centuries. Taking over Galvan Prime and it’s technology will give Vilgax territorial advantage over the Milky Way.
Azmuth has never used the Omnitrix or Ascalon as he feels that he isn’t worthy of using them.
Whilst majority of Galvan Prime and the Galaxy treat Azmuth with great respect, there are some who genuinely hate him with a passion for one reason or another. Most notably Vilgax, Albedo, Malware, Dr Psychobos, Maltruant, and the Highbreed council.

Due to being one of the smartest beings in the Universe, his intelligence often makes him come off as cold and distant, treating everyone he knows as less fortunate since they don’t have the knowledge and wisdom he has. But under that intellectual exterior, Azmuth has a noble heart and only wants what’s best for his people and the Universe at large.
