I am Ven-Ghan, the Ultralink Hunter.
—Ven-Ghan, Introducing himself to Max Steel

Ven-Ghan (sometimes misspelled as VenGhan or Ven Ghan) is one of the Ultralink Hunters and a former member of The Black Star Council. Initially one of Max Steel's villains, he came to Earth with the goal of capturing Steel for his crimes, but he eventually comes to terms with them and teams up with Max Steel and N-Tek to take down Makino and his armada. Ven-Ghan primarily uses gravity-based powers and uses them to capture intergalactic criminals. Ven-Ghan debuted in Ultralink Invasion Part One and is voiced by Giles Panton.

History[]

Early Life[]

Ven-Ghan grew up at an alien planet known as Kaduonn. When he was very young, Metallak and his armada of Evil Ultralinks and destroyed his homeworld. Ven-Ghan somehow managed to escape, being the last survivor of his species.[1]

During an undetermined period of time, Ven-Ghan joined the Black Star Council and Ragnok trained him.[2] Over time, Ven-Ghan became the right arm of the council, using his incredible gravity powers to track down and capture the intergalactic war criminals.

Season 2[]

Ultralink Invasion Part One[]

Ven-Ghan infiltrated Earth's atmosphere using Ven-Geance and stalked Max for few days.

While Max Steel was fighting against Miles Dread, Ven-Ghan creates a portal that teleports them to an abandoned warehouse. He presents himself to Max and Steel and reveals his intentions of bringing the latter to justice, believing that he was a criminal. Max refuses to let go of Steel, stating that he was his friend and that he woudn't leave him. Ven-Ghan mentions about Ja'em Mk'rah's legend and states that the Ultralink couldn't be trusted. He pulls his gun and tells Max to step aside.

Ven-Ghan threatens Max, who activates Turbo Strength Mode and charges at the hunter. He quickly teleports himself and claims that Max fights horribly and proceeds to toss his Ultralinks at him. Upon seeing them, Max asks why he had Ultralinks with them, of which Ven-Ghan states that they were reabilitated and reprogrammed to serve for the cause of "their" cause, much to Max's confusion. He asks if he wasn't allied with Makino, angering Ven who tells him that the warlord was his fugitive. Max activates Turbo Flight Mode and tackles at Ven, debilitating him for few seconds.

He gets up and attacks Max with his blaster. Ven-Ghan slowly approaches him, but Max quickly activates the Turbo Lash and ensnares Ven. He attempts to convince him that Steel was one of the heroes, yet Ven-Ghan ignores. N-Tek contacts Max and Ven-Ghan activates his Ultralinks, using them to knock the hero down while he was distracted. The hunter uses one of the containment spheres to capture Steel, who desperately shouts for Max. Ven opens a portal and goes through, leaving a bomb behind that explodes shortly after he leaves.

Ultralink Invasion Part Two[]

At the mountains, Ven-Ghan teleports near to his ship, the Ven-Geance. Steel attempts to convince him that he was not a fugitive, stating that he had memory lapses and couldn't remember the atrocities that Ven was mentioning. Ven gets angry and accuses Steel of his "Ultralink lies", telling him that he would be brought to the tribunal and later on destroyed by his crimes. He heads to his ship while Steel compliments the vehicle, although Ven ignores. The hunter prepares to leave while Steel continues to bug him, angering Ven. Steel decides to use his T.U.R.B.O. Energy to destroy the sphere and falls on a fissure, much to Ven-Ghan's annoyance.

While investigatin the fissure, Max and C.Y.T.R.O. approach him. He quickly spots them and goes back to Ven-Geance and tells them that they were warned to not interfere. He releases a couple of gravity seekers and chases after them. Eventually, Max grabs onto his ship and asks him if bringing Ultralinks to justice was more important than his life, of which Ven agrees and proceeds to boost the ship, leaving Max and C.Y.T.R.O. behind and allowing the gravity seekers to hit them, causing a massive explosion. Upon seeing it, Ven is shown to not care, saying that they were mere casualties of justice.

While Max was trying to control himself for Steel, Ven approaches him and tells him that his loyalties were misplaced, angering the teen. He promptly tackles at the hunter's ship, stating that he didn't knew anything about loyalty and once again attempts to convince him that they were on the same side, though Ven ignores. He explains that he was a part of a much higher authority and that they gave him much better weapons. Angry, Max attempts to tackle him, but Ven quickly dodges and uses his sword to create an energy lash and continously thrown Max back and forth at the ground. He tells Max that he had fought bravely and proceeds to toss him at a mountain. C.Y.T.R.O. recovers Steel and approaches Max while Ven-Ghan pulls his blaster and shoots at them, causing a massive explosion. They successfully link once again and escape, angering Ven, who is seen shooting at distance.

Later on, while Max and Steel are dealing with Miles Dread and his Ultralink, Ven locates them and captures the latter. He angers Dread, who quickly charges at him. Ven grabs one of his capsules and throws in the air, opening a portal with projectiles of N-Tek tanks that he had obtained earlier which hit Dread. He attempts to capture Steel once again, though Max intervenes. Ven claims that one Ultralink was enough for him and leaves.

My Best Friend is an Ultralink[]

A Germ of an Idea[]

Fugitive[]

Ven-Ghan was spending some time with Max and Steel to learn more about the human culture, such as jokes and funny videos. Despite that, he didn't understood most of the content that the duo showed to him and saw everything in a literal way. The fun is interrupted when Ragnok, described as one of the most dangerous bounty hunters of the galaxy by Ven, is sent by the Black Star Council to capture both Ven-Ghan (due to his redemption) and Steel. Max and Steel tried to stop him, but they ultimately failed. Shortly after,  Ven appears and reveals that he was now protecting Max Steel. Eventually, Ven-Ghan is eaten alive by Ragnok's mechanic lizard and Steel is captured by the hunter. Later on, Ven and Steel managed to escape using Dwayne's motorcycle, which was eaten by Ragnok's lizard too. After realizing that the duo escaped, Ragnok decides to go after them until they end up on an abandoned mine, where Ven-Ghan attempts to trick Ragnok, but he is almost killed by him.

In an attempt to escape, Ven-Ghan is accidentally teletransported back to his ship, the Ven-Geance, and Steel is left alone on the mine. While Max and C.Y.T.R.O. were defeated by Ragnok, Ven-Ghan lucky appears and fights off him and eventually manages to win by using one of his capture cubes. However, Ragnok manages to escape when he activates the auto destruction mode of his lizard. Later on, Ven-Ghan appears on the McGrath's apartment, where he is laughing about a misunderstood joke.

Mini Episodes[]

The Captive[]

Personality[]

"Ven-Ghan is an interesting character. His home world was destroyed at a young age and he spent his life training to bring his enemies to justice. He has a steely sense of honor, which can be rigid and uncompromising. And once he's set his mind on something it's next to impossible to change it. But underneath it all he still has heart. He has a purpose and drive propelled by the pain of the loss of his loved ones. So... he could become an ally, but Max or Steel would have to do something extraordinary to make that happen.". - Giles Panton

Ven-Ghan's home planet was destroyed when he was a child and he has spent his life training to bring those responsible to justice, regardless of their power and how unstoppable they are. This shows a great sense of honor but he may end up being rigid or he cannot commit to something and that makes once one goal in mind nothing can stop until it is fixed.

The word 'Ven-Ghan' is the Maltese word meaning Hunting.
