| “ | I've had it with being an Org! This is ridiculous! I can't trust any of you, especially you! You've lied and cheated and have destroyed everyone around you. For 3,000 years, Toxica and I waited for your return, and for what? You've betrayed your most loyal Duke Orgs, the one's who would do anything for you, including cutting off their horn! You're beyond evil. You have no heart. You don't deserve anyone's loyalty! You've destroyed my best friend and my faith in Orgs. | „ |
| ~ Jindrax standing up to Master Org. |
Jindrax is the Master of Blades and one of the two secondary antagonists of Power Rangers Wild Force. He faithfully serves his Master as the Duke of Orgs and is the best friend of the Duchess Org Toxica. Jindrax is the (former) archenemy of Taylor Earhardt, the Yellow Wild Force Ranger.
He was voiced by Richard Cansino for four episodes, and later his US suit actor Danny Wayne Stallcup who played Jindrax in his human disguise prior to the series beginning.
History
Jindrax was born of toxic pools of muck like his fellow Orgs, like the rest he waged war on humanity to destroy them and take over the planet for their own ends. However, the Orgs lost when their Master was defeated by Merrick Baliton and the Predazord empowered by the powerful Duke Org Zen-Aku's spirit and Jindrax retreated alongside his partner, Toxica. They eventually reemerged but disguised themselves as humans, specifically animal control agents, to continue their evil ways in any matter they could by tormenting animals.
Around that time, they established a company called Org Express which had its own official credit card via. one of their human aliases. Since Jindrax can use it in Fishing for a Friend, the company is still active.
After Viktor Adler had fully assimilated the powers of the deceased Master Org when he consumed his seeds, the Orgs slowly resumed activity until Jindrax and Toxica spotted the rogue Turbine Org on his rampage and rejoiced at restarting the war against mankind. However, they found out the Master Org was a fake and was a human named Adler and turned against him but were brainwashed into Super Orgs. He was released from this state after being defeated by the Animarium Armor, and set out with Toxica to free the general Mandilok; together, they were able to depose Master Org (having since lost his powers) and seemingly kill him for good. However, the two were mistreated under Mandilok despite their desperate attempts to please him.
He has a brother named Juggelo, who was imprisoned along with the other Orgs 3000 years ago. Together, the two form "Team Carnival" (a reference to their clown like appearances). In his brother's spotlight episode, Jindrax eats Toxica's magic beans to grow large and fight alongside Juggelo when he gets overwhelmed by the Rangers. After Juggelo is destroyed, a furious Jindrax tries to avenge him not even caring if he dies in the process but before he can do battle the effect of the beans wears off and Jindrax shrinks to his normal size. With Juggelo's dead and Jindra depressed over his perceived uselessness Toxica joined Team Carnival in his stead.
Mandilok would eventually hire the Duke Org, Onikage, as his new lieutenant who convinced Toxica to cut off her horn to get past the Animarium's sacred water but left her dying in the process to Jindrax's horror. After they were able to capture Shayla and brought her to Mandilok, Toxica was used as a meat shield by Mandilok against the Jungle Blaster with the horrified and saddened Jindrax forced to keep working for Mandilok or else be killed the same. Eventually Adler and the real Master Org merged into one and came back for revenge, revealing they had arranged for Toxica's death to begin with, now having seen how truly evil his fellow Orgs are, Jindrax renounced the cause but was almost killed by Onikage; during his time reflecting on the horrors he had endured, Shayla sowed the seeds of redemption by telling Jindrax he wasn't truly evil like he believed himself due to Jindrax saving her from Mandilok. After Jindrax helped defeat Onikage he fled with Toxica's horn to escape his former faction's wrath.
Jindrax later brought Toxica back from the netherworld she had been sent to by charging her severed horn with energy from the Rangers' Jungle Blaster while leaving the Locomotive Org to deal with them as a distraction. Upon being revived, Toxica convinced Jindrax that fighting for the Orgs wasn't worth it anymore and that they had to find themselves, then when she heard from Jindrax that the Master Org returned, Jindrax was convinced by Toxica to also aid the Rangers. The tw helped the Rangers in their battle against Master Org and his revived Org Generals, Retinax, Nayzor and Mandilok by telling them where to find the statues holding up the barrier protecting the Org Nexus while he and Toxica rescued Shayla directly. He succeeds and is rewarded with a kiss from Shayla who was glad to see her judgment of him proven right, after making peace with the Rangers following their escape from the collapsing Nexus and putting an end to the Human-Org War, he then leaves to travel the world with Toxica and "find himself" while sarcastically claiming he would get over being good soon.

Trivia
- His Gaoranger counterpart, Yabaiba, remained evil from beginning to end despite almost reaching an epiphany on the pointlessness of fighting for his abusive masters' sake, even helping create Ultimate Org Senki, the final boss. Here he instead redeems himself after having had enough of the abuse he suffered at the Org leadership's hands.
- Jindrax's "Org Express Card" featured in Fishing for a Friend is undoubtedly a pun of the Bat Credit Card featured in Batman and Robin; Jindrax even quotes George Clooney's Batman in remarking "Don't leave the cave without it!"
