Biography
Void Knight first came to Earth millions of years ago. In the present day, Void Knight attacked Dinohenge in search of the Sporix, but was met by Ollie and Amelia as the Dino Fury Blue and Pink Rangers. Void Knight was able to take control of the Hengemen guards and ordered them to attack the two new Rangers, only for Zayto to be awakened at that moment and attack Void Knight. The resulting struggle caused the container for the Sporix to break and for them to be spread all over the city. After finding the Sporix egg containing Shockhorn and hatching it, Void Knight thus chose to leave for the time being to search for the other Sporix.
Shockhorn later found another Sporix for Void Knight, Mucus, who happily accepted the Sporix Beast's offer to join Void Knight's cause. Though Shockhorn was defeated by the Power Rangers, Void Knight recovered his egg, which had grown even more powerful in wake of its defeat. Void Knight and Mucus brought the egg to Area 62, where Void Knight placed it in a mysterious machine.

History
Past
Tarrick arrived on Earth with his wife Santaura and their baby approximately 20 years ago on a scavenging mission for the Rafkonian descendants. Upon arriving however, all three of them were locked up inside Area 62. 62 days later, a failed experiment caused the facility to evacuate. The hole in their cell wasn’t big enough for the two of them, but it was big enough for them to hand their baby over to the janitor, Ed Jones. Santaura was hit with the explosion and then a piece of falling debris, causing her to go into a coma but not before swearing revenge on the humans for what they did. After Area 62 was abandoned, Tarrick put her in cryosleep and built a machine to revive her, but it didn’t have enough power on its own. He found the Dino Knight Morpher, Dino Knight Key, and a Chromafury Saber in a chest and modified them all to morph into Void Knight. He then sought out a powerful energy source coming from Dinohenge.
Present
Void Knight after recruiting the Hengemen.
"Under those old statues? Interesting."―Void Knight's first words when realizing that the Sporix were located under Dinohenge.[src]
Void Knight had raided the base of the Dino Fury Rangers in search of their Sporix, which were sealed underground Dinohenge millions of years ago in the aftermath of the Great Sporix Wars. His attempt was interrupted by the combined efforts of Amelia Jones and Ollie Akana, who became the new Pink and Blue Rangers, while Solon awakened Zayto, the Red Ranger. Void Knight escapes after gaining control of the Hengemen.
A brief time after Mucus hatches, Void Knight returns to Dinohenge along with Shockhorn as muscle in order to find the entrance to the Ranger's base so he can retrieve his energy scanner (which was taken by Ollie and his mother). Unfortunately, Solon has equipped the base with a force field so this fails. When he's informed about the presence of another Sporix Beast, Void Knight sends Shockhorn to find it whilst he threatens Dr. Akana into starting the scan so he can find more Sporix. After Shockhorn returns along with their new ally Mucus, the Rangers appear, and a fight soon ensues, but the battle ends with Void Knight's scanner being destroyed and Shockhorn flying through the air. Void Knight tries to get revenge on her but is cut off by the Rangers and had to retreat since he is outnumbered, Mucus is a poor fighter, and Shockhorn is nowhere to be seen. After Shockhorn grows giant and is defeated by the T-Rex Champion Zord, Void Knight retrieves the Sporix Beast who has been reduced to his unhatched form once again (due to the Sporix becoming stronger after being defeated in their giant form). Void Knight, along with Mucus later arrives at Area 62; an old, abandoned facility that they will use as their base where he puts Shockhorn's unhatched form in a machine but soon realizes that the machine requires way more Sporix in order to be at full power.
Following Vypeera's defeat when she is reverted to her Sporix egg form, Void Knight comes to collect her to give his machine more power but is too late as Zayto, Ollie and Amelia take the egg back first before teleporting away. Enraged, Void Knight swears that the next time they crossed paths, the heroes wouldn't be able to reclaim the next Sporix egg.
Later Void Knight finds himself busy building his newest creation Boomtower so, when Mucus returns with a new Sporix Beast called Draknarok, Void Knight introduces his new creation and sends the team to look for the Nephrite Orb in order to make Boomtower stronger, claiming that he wants no mistakes made. He is later seen looking like his team fail to get the Orb and the Rangers beat him in capturing Draknarok's egg form whilst also finding out that the Rangers have two new members although he states that it still won't be enough.
Whilst working in his secret room, an impatient Boomtower steals one of the Sporix Cells they obtained and places it inside his chest to gain more power. However, Void Knight eventually finds out and angrily teleports to where Boomtower and Mucus are fighting the Rangers, dragging the two back to Area 62 and leaving a squad of Hengemen behind to deal with the Rangers. Despite being mad at Boomtower, he seems to have let his general keep the Sporix Cell, possibly after hearing how powerful he became because of it.
Void Knight talks to his comatose wife.
Void Knight, Mucus, and Wolfgang see the destruction of Doomsnake by the Rangers and the Dino Fury Megazord Blade Formation. Void Knight orders Wolfgang to mark his territory and the latter lets out a mighty howl, strong enough to disassemble the Megazord entirely. After seeing this, Void Knight orders Mucus to collect Doomsnake’s Sporix Cell. She does it and having overheard the conversation between the Rangers and Mick about the Nexus Prism, teleports back to relay the news to Void Knight. Void Knight sends Wolfgang to capture Mick and find the Nexus Prism, but the Rangers succeed to save him. At Area 62, Wolfgang apologizes to Void Knight for failing to capture Mick, but the latter angrily asks how they will be able to find the Ninja Nexus Prism now. Boomtower volunteers to find it, claiming that he could destroy the Rangers thanks to his Sporix Cell, but Void Knight warns him not to bother coming back if he fails again. Boomtower agrees to these terms under the condition he gets to bring Wolfgang with him. After Boomtower was destroyed, Mucus tells Void Knight about the robot’s death and gives him Wolfgang’s Sporix Cell but the warlord, not saddened by the death of his second in command, is not happy because thanks to his creation’s idiocy, they only have a powered up Sporix Cell and not the Ninja Nexus Prism. To further Void Knight’s frustration, the Cell only powers up the machine by a margin, getting impatient that this is taking too long for him to handle. Void Knight retreats to his secret room, which is revealed to house a comatose woman inside a cryogenic chamber - his girlfriend, Santaura. Void Knight promises her he will bring her back.
Void Knight, Mucus, and Roostafa manage to get a few Sporix Eggs but, when Mucus returns empty handed, he isn’t disappointed since he is able to find a good haul of Sporix.
Off-screen, Void Knight and Mucus create a new robot, Slyther and, impressed by Slyther's shapeshifting abilities, Void Knight orders him to pretend to be a Rafkonian in order to fool Zayto and steal Stonehenge's Sporix. Despite almost succeeding, this plan ultimately falls through.
Mucus and Slyther later seemingly captures all the Rangers' Sporix in a chest, and they give them to him in a surprise event, but they disappear once the chest is opened as it is a fake chest created by the Rangers. This revelation makes Void Knight think his generals played a prank on him and makes him go berserk on them, brutally beating both Slyther and Mucus. After his outrage, Void Knight goes back to his secret room, takes his helmet off, and apologizes to Santaura for their recent setbacks.
Void Knight and his team see Lord Zedd alive.
When a cloaked figure enters Area 62 and tries to steal his Sporix, Void Knight threatens him and asks him who he is. The mysterious figure reveals himself as Lord Zedd, the Emperor of Evil that has been brought back to life at his most evil state by the wizard, Reaghoul, and is being controlled via a Compliance Collar. Void Knight is easily beaten by Zedd but later makes a deal with Reaghoul to give him one Sporix in exchange for the Power Rangers as stealing them could set them free from the machine and have catastrophic effects. Unfortunately for Reaghoul, Lord Zedd breaks free of the collar and escapes. The necromancer returns to Area 62 empty handed and defeated only for Void Knight to put him in a high voltage cage and put sleepy cuffs on him instead of destroying him as his powers could be useful later.
Void Knight recruits the Stone Triplets to deal with the Rangers and also plants sleep bombs all over Pine Ridge to put all the citizens to sleep, including a big one that Izzy has only five minutes to deactivate. However, this plan falls through completely.
Void Knight later recruits Boneswitch to help him get Purple Beard's talismans and body-swap any Rangers that might interfere with his plans. Boneswitch fails in getting the talismans and is destroyed by the Mosa Razor Zord, reverting back to his Sporix egg form. Void Knight is able to retrieve his Sporix saying that his sacrifice will not be forgotten before teleporting back to his Base.
Endgame
Void Knight is later present with Slyther and Mucus on Dinohenge, observing Dr. Akana's experiments with the Morphin Grid and how its powers help charge the Cosmic Dino Key. His discovery of this fact leads him to switch his plans into taking the power of the Morphin Grid to energize his machine, ignoring his quest for the Sporix altogether. He then frees Reaghoul from his imprisonment and has him revive Boomtower and later steals Dr. Akana's equipment whilst the Rangers are busy dealing with the revived general.
Void Knight's Helmet survives the wreckage.
Void Knight then prepares Dr. Akana's machine for his plans and has his generals hunt the scientist for the missing capacitor. He enters Santaura's chamber one more time before he leaves for the next phase of his plan. Void Knight attacks Dr. Akana with Boomtower, Reaghoul, Mucus, and Slyther. Then, he leaves with her capacitor. Later on, after Boomtower and Reaghoul's deaths, Void Knight captures all the Rangers except for Ollie, and hooks them up to the machine containing Santaura, nearly succeeding in his goal. Just when he's about to succeed in reviving her, Ollie destroyed the Dinohenge statues and ruined his plans. An enraged Void Knight fights the unmorphed Rangers with the Hengemen. He easily defeats Amelia and Izzy. However, Izzy immediately damaged his machine and has Aiyon destroy Dr. Akana's capacitor, causing a huge explosion which apparently destroyed both Void Knight's machine and him, with the only thing left of him being his Void Saber that Zayto promptly discards and celebrates the Rangers victory over Void Knight. After the Green Morphin Master restores the Rangers' powers and they prepare to deal with another Sporix Beast, Void Knight's helmet is seen lying on the floor of Area 62 along with Santaura who is still in stasis.
The Return of Void Knight
Tarrick interrupts the competition between Slyther and Wreckmate.
It is later revealed that Tarrick survived his apparent demise. He managed to recruit Bitscreem and win back Slyther and Mucus' trust. He would then order them to retrieve both his Void Saber and the Fix-It Dino Key from the Rangers. After his generals successfully recovered both items, he would use them to repair his broken Void Knight armor and suit up again. He would then appear in front of the Rangers before he teleported away with Bitscreem's Sporix.
Later, Tarrick and his crew receive Wreckmate back, who had survived, accepting him back into the team, and seeing that Wreckmate was more powerful thanks to the potion of Slyther, who became the general's rival, Tarrick ordered his minions defeat the Rangers, which effectively failed again.
Tarrick threatens Zayto.
Tarrick repaired Wreckmate after their battle, denying that he sang a shanty, demanding his team find more Sporix, before being interrupted by Occulo, who thanks to his abilities to see inside people, Tarrick sent him with Slyther to make the Rangers forget who they were with Slyther's magical device and thus obtain more Sporix. Tarrick interrupted the Rangers' fight against Slyther, Mucus, and Occulo to face the Rangers again. In anger and without any effort, Tarrick struck down the Rangers, defeating them with his power and then teleported with his army, placing the collected Sporix, however the energy was lacking, forcing his generals to search for more.
Obtaining the last Sporix in the city, Tarrick became frustrated that it was not enough, deciding to destroy Occulo, but upon learning that the Rangers had the Baby Pacha Zord, he ordered Occulo and Wreckmate to steal the little zord to trade it for more Sporix. When Occulo was destroyed, Tarrick took his Sporix in disappointment, retreating to place it in his machine, threatening his generals that if the machine was not filled, he would destroy them, and successfully, Tarrick managed to complete the machine, filled with happiness seeing how Santaura revives.
Tarrick successfully revived Santaura with sufficient Sporix energy. However, upon her awakening, he learned that she desires revenge and seeks to destroy Earth, putting him at odds with her. Santaura's eventual transformation into Void Queen finally convinced him to seek help from the Rangers.
Tarrick would defect from the Void Family and went on a run. He then assisted the Rangers in defeating Trackenslash by weakening the Sporix Beast with a powerful Void Slash.
Upon learning that Void Queen sent Snageye to capture the Rangers, Tarrick immediately warned the Rangers about this, but is met with a hostile response from Zayto. After most of the Rangers got captured, Tarrick would team-up with Javi to defeat Snageye before the robot captured the latter. He managed to deal enough damage to Snageye's buckle, giving enough opening for Zayto to escape the pocket dimension. Tarrick immediately handed over the Dino Knight Morpher to Zayto so he can beat Snageye before taking cover to recuperate. After the Rafkonian defeated Snageye, Tarrick introduced himself to the Rangers. But before he can tell anything, Void Queen appears and take him away.
Becoming Void King
After being captured, Tarrick would be forcefully transformed and brainwashed into Void King by Santaura using the power of Sporix. He then appears to battle the Rangers, defeating them easily.
Freed and Reunited
After Ed Jones told Amelia her parents were Rafkonians held at Area 62, she went there to investigate, not knowing it was also Void Queen's base. During a confrontation with Void King, she leaps in front of him to defend her fellow Dino Fury Rangers. Using Rafkonian mind powers, she freed Tarrick of Void Queen's spell. Tarrick revealed that he and Santaura were Amelia's parents.
After Void Queen absorbed the Sporix and envelops herself in a pod that that threatened to level Pine Ridge, Tarrick used the Dino Knight Morpher to morph into Void Knight again and teleport the pod from BuzzBlast to the desert. The Morpher was destroyed in the subsequent explosion. Tarrick attempted to talk to Santaura but Void Queen did not answer to that name.
After Zayto destroyed the Nemesis Beast and Amelia rescued her mother by touching her and restoring all her memories, Tarrick and Amelia settled at Area 62 with their fellow Rafkonians. Six months later, Tarrick and Santaura were revealed to be expecting another child.
Personality
Tarrick is first seen as a bullheaded and bad-tempered warrior who likes to punish anyone who disobeys his orders. He can also be easily annoyed as seen during his interactions with Mucus. He appeared to care very little about his minions as he was not fazed when Boomtower was destroyed. However, as Tarrick revealed to Santaura at one point, his menacing and ruthless persona was all a ruse as he felt he needed to command respect from his crew who would turn against him should they discover his tender side, which was his goal of reviving his wife. After she was revived, she wanted revenge, but Tarrick told her that he never wanted revenge in the first place. In fact, he was more than happy to leave Earth right after he completed his goal but Santaura, now calling herself Void Queen, destroyed their spaceship.
