History[]
Past[]
Lady Fienna and Eldin receive different visions of the future looking into the Morphin Grid.
Master Vile was once a human named Eldin, a researcher who studied artifacts left behind by the Morphin Masters with his future wife Lady Fienna. One such artifact allowed them to peer into the future, while Lady Fienna saw her yet to be born daughter as the Mystic Mother, Eldin saw a twisted vision of his child as a dark witch and an evil voice called to him. The voice was Dark Specter, who slowly corrupted Eldin’s mind and the researcher became obsessed with bringing the evil extra dimensional being into his universe, which was to sacrifice his child in a dark ritual to the evil being in order to be a vessel for it to inhabit to survive. Dark Specter’s power then transformed Eldin into Master Vile to better serve him.
Thousands of years ago, Master Vile conquered and then ruled over the M51 Galaxy. At some point, Lady Fienna eventually became pregnant. During her pregnancy, she discovered how evil her husband really was and decided to run away from him. She eventually gave birth to the baby who would grow up into Rita Repulsa and raised her alone for several years while Vile searched for them. Despite their best efforts, he eventually discovered them and sent his Tenga Warriors after them. Though the Phantom Ranger intervened, Master Vile eventually handled the matter personally, killing his wife and taking his child. He however sensed Rita was “tainted” by a massive infusion of Grid energy and thus could not be used in the ritual as Grid energy is poisonous to Dark Specter. Master Vile decided he could still use his child and then raised Rita to be as evil as himself before she left him at some point to join the Evil Space Aliens.

Personality[]
True to his name, Master Vile embodied sheer wickedness as he was ruthless as well as being a power-hungry tyrant bent on galactic conquest. Although he had a brief stint in the series, Master Vile had proved to be a master strategist and a dangerous adversary for the Rangers as his tactics involved enhancing the Tenga Warriors into more aggressive and efficient fighters, succeeding in capturing the Zeo Crystals along with the Rangers' Zords, and using the Orb of Doom to revert the Rangers back into children. Despite whatever tactical brilliance he has expressed, he is still highly impatient, and like his daughter, he is capable of throwing child-like tantrums when his plans do not go his way as seen when the Alien Rangers defeated his forces. It is this lack of patience that enabled him to retreat back to his conquered Galaxy.
Although he had genuine care for his children, Master Vile had his disdain for Rita's husband, Lord Zedd, and the latter shared his own resentment for the former, which placed them at odds with one another. Regardless, their hostilities were more than once cast aside when attempting to defeat the Rangers and conquer the earth, as well as assisting with Rita and Zedd's escape from the attacking Machine Empire.
Despite his brand of darkness and the successes that came with it, Master Vile openly stated that his evil ways pale in comparison to King Mondo and Queen Machina, noting how the two invoke even greater destruction than himself. Given that he has taken part in the celebratory meeting with the United Alliance of Evil and the festivities for Zordon's capture, it is more than likely that like all other villains (including his daughter and son-in-law), Master Vile may have feared the alliance leader Dark Specter.
