Appearances[]
Bookworm Adventures[]
He appeared as leader of books, mentor of Lex and the Head Librarian in the Great Library. He has a special magic pen which he uses most often. Although he helped Lex, he appeared to be the main antagonist. He claimed before being defeated by Lex that he will never save Cassandra. One possibility is meanwhile in Book 1 he told Lex that he must be pulled out of the book to rest but Lex refuses. This is somehow one possibility that he REALLY never wanted Cassandra to be saved. Here is the dialogue that appears after defeating Codex:
Codex: Recalcitrant verminous annelid! You have not defeated me! The stories within the Great Library are brimming with villains to unleash and heroes to enslave I'll simply build a greater army. Your precious Cassandra will never be free and sadly your timer has reached ZERO.
Lex: ...
Codex: ANY LAST WORDS GULLIBLE GRUB?
Lex: Actually yes.
Lex: (spells an Overkill Word with commentary of "Autological!")
Lex: I've got just one.
Lex then laser-beams Codex out of existence.
