Biography
Background
As revealed in Tag-Team! Break the Limit!, Pax participated in multiple Blading events around the time of Beyblade Burst Evolution and would continue to climb through the rankings to become a possible candidate to compete in the International Blader's Cup. That was all until a launch would injure his right arm, which Pax would soon discover how critical the injury was and how he may never return to the Blading scene again. Following the injury, Pax would begin researching and discover "Elemental Power", another term used for a Blader's resonance. Around two to three years later, since he could not return to the Blading scene, Pax would begin passing his dreams of obtaining the ultimate Elemental Power to his sister, Pri Forsythe, which he would create the first Elemental Quad Beyblade for her to fight alongside, Lightning Pandora. Inspired by Shu Kurenai's "Red Eye" phase, Pax would also give Pri a mask and new getup, dubbing her alternate identity as "Quadra".
Beyblade Burst QuadStrike
Pax made his debut alongside his sister at the mythical ruins located in England, a rumored power spot. To research the location's secrets, Pax would have Pri participate in the Grand Masquerade Bey Tournament, which just so happened to be occurring there. Throughout Pri's battles in the tournament, Pax would find his sister's Lightning Elemental Power levels increase, which suddenly took a massive jump after Pri fought with Bel Daizora. Following the tournament, the siblings would reunite, and Pax would soon request Pri to travel to Japan and battle Bel once again to research his resonance with Belfyre, which once again, her Lightning Elemental Power takes a massive increase after battling Bel. Now with this research, Pax requests Pri to stay at Phantom's Gate so he can continue researching to see if Bel's resonance was increasing her Elemental Power or if the mansion was a power spot.
Not long after he sent his sister to stay at Phantom's Gate, Pax soon sent Pri her second Elemental Bey just in time for the mansion's mini-tournament, with this being the Water Elemental Bey, Tidal Pandora. In the tournament, Pri has her first battle alongside Tidal Pandora with Bel, and defeats him, with Pax discovering a big increase in Pri's Water Elemental Power. But immediately after her victory, Pri would get ahead of herself and reveal that she was Quadra, which would displease Pax. Pax would then get onto his sister and tell Pri to keep the mask on during her battles so she can increase her Elemental Power, in which she ignores and immediately takes on and loses to Dante Koryu without the mask. During the battle, Pax would find Pri's Elemental Power barely increase and he would soon inform her about this and how she needs to battle as Quadra or else she'll suffer another defeat like she did with Dante.
Things would start to get better between the siblings after Pri would return to battling as Quadra when facing off with Xander Shakadera and even though she lost, Pax would find an increase in both Pri's Lightning and Water Elemental Powers. Following the trip to the Shakadera Dojo, things would begin to worsen once again after Pri participates in Wakiya Murasaki's Battle Camp. After seeing Hikaru Hizashi guide Hyuga in his battle with Bel, Pri decides that she wanted to take him on. Wanting assistance from her own brother, Pri makes an attempt to call Pax for help before she took on Hikaru but got no response as the latter was making the third Pandora. Going with her instinct, Pri would battle Hikaru with Lightning Pandora, but would be defeated. After discovering what his sister had done, Pax would call and confront Pri for using Lightning Pandora instead of Tidal Pandora and how it had cost her the match. Now that Pax had completed the next Pandora, he would soon travel to Battle Island to try and amend things with Pri by giving her Twister Pandora, the Wind Elemental Bey, which she goes to challenge Hikaru to a rematch and defeats him, now increasing her Wind Elemental Power. But Pax would soon become annoyed once again after discovering that Wakiya was holding a tag-team tournament to finish off the Battle Camp, with Pri teaming up Bel, as he wants Pri to go solo instead of teaming up with another Blader. Pax makes an attempt to remove his sister from the tournament by going straight to Wakiya and having him remove Pri, but after Jinemon Daizora mentions that Bel and Pri would be a good team, Pax would then give up on that idea. Pax would then go straight to Pri and tells her "Quadra doesn't do team battles" to try and get his sister to drop the tournament. As his final plan, Pax would then go to Bel and challenge him to defeat Hikaru and Hyuga on his own without Pri's help, in which Pax succeeds as Bel and Pri would soon be eliminated from the tournament. After realizing what had happened, Pri would confront Pax and tell him that she chose to team-up with Bel because he was helping her improve as a Blader.
Following the Battle Camp, Pax returned to England where he would soon get a call from Pri, who informed him that she's getting the chance to take on Aiger Akabane in a single battle if she can defeat him in tag battle with Bel, which once again displeases him. Pax tells Pri to do as she liked, ends the call, and immediately deletes the blueprint on the fourth Pandora. With Pri entering the Champion's Challenge Tournament, Pax arrives in Japan to watch Pri and try to get things back on track and help her obtain Aiger's World Champion title. But as Pax and Pri communicate, Aiger becomes aware of what Pax is doing. Following the talk, Pri takes on Kit Lopez, but is suddenly defeated, upsetting Pax. After the battle, Pax confronts his sister for having a flawed strategy, but Aiger soon butts into the conversation to cheer Pri up, telling her that the strategy was flawless and steers the conversation to Pax, telling him that he doesn't know what he is talking about as it wasn't his battle, which annoys Pax.
As Pri continues to participate in the Champion's Challenge Tournament, Pax becomes more annoyed as she continues to Blade her own way and lose. After discovering that Shu had called Valt back to the ancient ruins, Pax reveals to Pri that he was going to check it out. When Pri asks about the status of their plans, Pax says he'd have to think about it and with Pri constantly losing means that she would be the problem to their plans, revealing that he no longer believes in her. Pax then returns to England to check out the situation that Shu called Valt to, which he finds out that the wbba. had also been researching the ruins and how it is a power spot, with it also enhancing a Blader's "Elemental Power". With this discovery, the league made the Aether Stadium, which can reveal a Blader's Elemental Power. Pax then reveals himself and then confronts Shu that his Elemental Power was the strongest back when he was Red Eye. To see if the Aether Stadium holds true to what has been said, he gets Valt and Shu to face off. During the battle, Pax claims that Valt and Shu's Elemental Powers were both very low, but still became more interested as the battle fries the wbba.'s systems. After the battle, Pax confronts Valt and Shu and claims that he could do better "with his Bey", Pandora. After hearing this, Pri becomes upset now knowing that Pax was being serious about the conversation from before.
Pax returns to Japan as the Champion's Challenge Tournament's play-off tournament begins with Pri facing off with Bel. Pax approaches Pri and tells her that she needs to unleash Twister Break on Belfyre, which will lead her to victory. Pax also goes back to talking about their plan to turn Pandora into the perfect Bey, which makes Pri feel more comfortable, but still concerned after being told the complete opposite before the Aether Stadium trip. Aiger then interrupts Pax and Pri's conversation, and still annoyed about their past conversation, Pax leaves. The battle between Pri and Bel begins, and everything goes according to plan for the first battle and in the second battle, Pri continues to follow Pax's orders, but loses. Pax tells Pri to continue with the plan, even though that Bel is onto them, but Pri knows this wasn't the right thing. After hearing Pax tell her that even he could win if he executed the plan, Pri finally breaks, removes her mask, and fights Bel in the third round with her own style of Blading, but still loses. While Pri became satisfied with the battle, Pax is angered by Pri cutting off the plan and confronts her and tells her to give Pandora back. While Pri starts to do so, Bel runs in and confronts Pax. With Bel's entrance, Pri is given the courage to fight against Pax, keeping Pandora and telling him that it's her Bey as she's been the one fighting alongside it. Pax then surrenders and leaves the room.
As the Champion's Challenge Tournament comes to a close with its final battles, Pax begins to work on his very own Quad Bey, Ruin Pandemonium, and makes a gauntlet to support his injured arm. For Pandemonium's first battle, Pax challenges and easily defeats Valt, which the reason was later revealed to be due to him being jealous of Valt for earning his legend status from the International Blader's Cup. Not long after the battle with Valt, Pax challenges Aiger to a match, in which he accepts. As Aiger heads back to England to face Pax, Bel and Pri follow him, in which the former sneaks away to challenge Pax. As Bel confronts him, Pax accepts Bel's challenge, but decides to take on Aiger first.
