The Three Masters

The Three Masters (collectively, 岩紙はさみ好ましいシステムではありません. ) were the three penguins who started the training of Ninjas, and the game Card Jitsu. Like Sensei, they spoke in haikus and had beards.

Their names were Watersei, Snowsei, and Firesei.

Background
The Three Masters were the descendants of Omricon of Paphos, a Snowpriot hero of the Babbelonian War. His son, Neoptolis, married Heris, princess of Snowprus, and settled down in a small mountain village which contained the descendants of the slaves that Heris and Neoptolis were part of. Their mother was one of the descendants of the slaves, while the Three Masters' father, was the descendant of Neoptolis and Heris. The Three Masters did not always get along. During their early and mid childhood, they argued over which element was more powerful. They did not know which was more powerful, because fire could be beaten by water, water could be beaten by ice, and ice could be beaten by fire. Because one could always beat the other they continued to argue. Then one day, their mother gave them a set of cards. They were marked with water, fire and ice and the cards were also marked with numbers. They played a game with them, and they called the game Card Jitsu. They played the game in the following format: Water beats fire, Fire beats ice, Ice beats water, and if both of the cards were the same element, higher numbers win on ties. They started publishing the cards, and they became very popular. Then one day the king came to their house and he stamped their cards with a magic stamp, which made Card Jitsu come to life. (see more here) The King gave them money, ships, sailors, and eager students to so they could find an island they could settle. They discovered Penguin Island, now known as Club Penguin, and they built the Dojo on top of a hill. They lived peacefully with their Mother and their younger brother, Jong Ming, who later had a son named Gung Hao, who became the successor to the Three Masters. The deaths of the Three Masters were epic, according to Gung Hao and the Ninjas who were there with him; it appeared that when their time had come, Firesei became a flame, Watersei became water, and Snowsei turned into Snow. Firesei's flame, Watersei's Water, and Snowsei's Snow were taken down into the deep wilderness by Gung Hao, where he built a large mausoleum. There, he built a giant hearth that would host Firesei's flame and keep it going for eternity, while Watersei's water was thrown into a giant indoor pool, and Snowsei's snow was put into a small room that was kept cold at all times. To this day, the Three Masters Mausoleum is still maintained by Ninjas ever since Gung Hao was in charge, although the area is not well known and admission very limited.

Involvement
The ghosts of the Three Masters reside in the Ninja Sanctuary. Here they advise Sensei, True Sensei, Sensei Wraith, and suprisingly even Carlo. They also grant the Ninjas a special color my touching their forehead to match the mask and belt they recieved from Sensei.

Trivia

 * The Three Masters began their reign durign the Penguin Empire's Collapse, but reigned mostly during The High Penguin Confederacy.
 * Coool and Firesei have been considered to be alike in some ways.
 * Firesei was the oldest, Snowsei was the youngest, and Watersei was in between those two.
 * They lived for two hundred sixty years. Some penguins think the Three Masters are High Penguins because of this.
 * Despite what most believe, Firesei, Watersei, and Snowsei did not create the individual Card Jitsu Water, Fire, and Snow. The idea of individual element Ninjas were begun by Tsoi Hochstadt, who became the first Fire Sensei.
