Ok so our main story starts with Herbert P. Bear, a polar bear who lived in the club penguin world. When he was a young cub he dreamt of leaving his small island he lived on and finding a place to make into a tropical paradise to call home, so he got on an iceberg and started his journey floating through the ocean, during which he met a crab named Klutzy who he let travel with him. Eventually, Herbert arrived at an island, only to discover it was inhabited by penguins. He was incredibly annoyed by their partying and dancing and jokes so he made a plan to take over Penguin Island and destroy every penguin to turn it into his dream paradise. A few penguins however, discovered Herbert’s existence and realized how dangerous he is. So they formed a secret agency made to keep the public unaware of Herbert, but also to protect the island from him; the Elite Penguin Force, or, the EPF. It’s run by someone known as the director, Aka the head of the club penguin news paper, “the penguin times”, Aunt Arctic, as well as a scientist named Gary the Gadget guy, and agents referred to as Jetpack Guy, Dot the disguise Gal, and Rookie, along with their new agent: you! The player, who is commonly referred to by the fandom as just Agent.

Skipping the plot of every single EPF mission you can play through in club penguin, because they just lead to telling you what I already did, Herbert eventually does build a machine that traps the EPF inside their headquarters building and blow it up, effectively putting his plan in action. But lucky for the EPF, Dot the disguise gal was already on it and figured that out, and her and the director got them a new base and a new undercover agency name after they were able to escape the building in time: the Penguin Secret Agency, Aka the PSA. Later though, Herbert started operation blackout, where he made a machine that blocked the sun and created darkness all over the island. Luckily the Agent was able to stop him again by outsmarting him and destroying the machine. Next was operation hot sauce, where Herbert seemed to have stolen pizza ingredients for an unknown cause. This event was short, and seemed useless until operation Puffle, where it’s discovered the pizza ingredients were used to kidnap and brain wash puffles (a species of pets in club penguin), to do his bidding. Once again the agent does end up outsmarting him and defeating him saving Penguin Island again.

Next is the lore of the 2DS games! There are two. So in the first club penguin DS game, Elite Penguin Force, we find what’s considered to be the canon way agent got into the EPF, through training and team work with the remaining members. It’s supposed to be short and fun. In the second one, Herberts revenge, it takes place after the final EPF mission with the PSA, but before operation blackout. To summarize, Herbert is back and the agents need to find out his plans. Agent sneaks into his base and takes pictures for clues, dot gets a klutzy disguise, and you find out Herbert’s plan is to flood the island, but this backfires on him when he remembers he can’t swim. Begrudgingly the PSA saves him and the director plans to cover it up with the Pool Party event that actually did happen in club penguin. With the 2DS club penguin games they actually introduce a new character that wasn’t used much in the computer game: PH, or, puffle handler, who trained the EPF and PSA’s special puffles that we’re used to help the agent along the game.

Now that was the secret Agent lore. Next is the ninja lore!

So in club penguin there are 4 main ninja elements, Sensei, an old gray penguin, being the master of them all who also discovered them and teaches any penguin willing to listen how to master them themselves. There’s cardjitsu, where you fight with elemental cards to earn your black belt, there’s firejitsu, where you fight with fire to earn your fire gear, there’s waterjitsu, where you fight with water to earn your water gear, and the final one: snowjitsu. Where you earn snow gear. Snowjitsu is the one where you actually get lore and they changed the gameplay style.

Basically, A long time ago sensei had an apprentice, a walrus named Tusk. He was like a son to him, and he trained him as best as he could. Tusk though, was jealous of the other ninjas in training, who could easily master the elements they chose. Tusk wanted to master all the elements, but sensei didn’t think he was ready. So, to prove his strength, Tusk challenged sensei to a duel. Tusk let his anger out on his master and Sensei went too far trying to show him he wasn’t strong enough. In the end they created a huge blizzard that buried everything. While trying to find his apprentice, sensei found a broken tusk in the snow.

Feeling heartbroken he assumed the walrus was dead, and left, not knowing tusk was trapped inside an icy cave and still alive. He thought sensei had abandoned him, so he stayed in the cave, letting his anger grow. He mastered all the elements himself, even using snow to create an army of sentient snowmen. His new goal was to find sensei and get his revenge. After sensei found out about the snowmen, and that his apprentice is still alive, he sends 3 ninjas, each of a different element, after tusk to find him and take down the snowmen along the way. In the end, they defeat tusk, and while still angry he compliments sensei on his skills of training the penguins the way he didn’t train him, and disappears, promising to return one day. Sadly because Disney shut down club penguin for good we’re never gonna get an official conclusion on if he meant to go through on his final words or not.
