[[File:Younger Masissus.jpg|thumb|left|The Chief Sea Devil in [[1533]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)|Legend of the Sea Devils]]'')]]He was awake as early as [[1533]], when he learned that [[the Keystone]], a [[Sea Devil]] artefact of "infinite power", had become part of the [[lost treasure of the Flor de la Mar|lost treasure of the ''Flor de la Mar'']] and entered the possession of the "great" [[Captain]] [[Sin Ji-Hun]]. He contacted Ji-Hun, who pretended to pledge himself to the Sea Devils to buy time for his crew to escape with their lives. After Ji-Hun "forced" his crew to desert [[Ji-Hun's ship|the ship]] non-lethally, he offered it to the Chief Sea Devil. Deciding to become a feared [[pirate]] and strike [[fear]] into the hearts of humanity, the Chief Sea Devil decided to take over the ship, adapting it to be able to rise in and out of the ocean and even to [[flying|fly]], instead of sinking it. ([[TV]]: ''[[Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)|Legend of the Sea Devils]]'')

Unbeknownst to the Chief Sea Devil, [[Lei Bao]], Ji-Hun's second-in-command, was carrying the Keystone when he escaped [[Ji-Hun's ship|the ship]]. When he realised that he had been outplayed, the Sea Devil decided to take his anger out on [[Sin Ji-Hun|Ji-Hun]] himself, taking him back to his underwater base and forcing him to survive for centuries in painful suspended animation. Lei Bao, meanwhile, was eventually able to use the Keystone to capture the Chief Sea Devil and freeze him in time in the form of a [[statue]] on the shore, over which Lei Bao and his descendants kept watch. Meanwhile, his crew returned to [[hibernation]] in their underwater base. ([[TV]]: ''[[Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)|Legend of the Sea Devils]]'')

In [[1807]], [[Zheng Yi Sao]], also known as the [[Pirate Queen]] "[[Madam Ching]]", who was seeking the [[lost treasure of the Flor de la Mar|lost treasure of the ''Flor de la Mar'']], learned of the statue, believing it contained the way to the location of the shipwreck of Ji-Hun's ship. Hacking into the stone-work, she broke the containment, freeing the Chief Sea Devil who promptly slaughtered most of the nearby village. [[The Doctor's TARDIS]] was drawn off-course and the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], [[Yasmin Khan]] and [[Dan Lewis]] confronted him almost immediately. Though they were unable to subdue him, they forced him to retreat as he wordlessly summoned [[Ji-Hun's ship]] and sent a signal to reawaken his crew.  

He directed the [[Hua-Shen]] to capture the Doctor's TARDIS from the ocean floor and then took the Doctor and Yaz prisoner. However, the Doctor was only briefly able to bluff him into thinking that she held [[the Keystone]]. After the two time-travellers escaped with Ji-Hun, and made their way to [[Zheng Yi Sao's ship|Madam Ching's ship]], the Chief Sea Devil managed to acquire the Keystone from [[Ying Ki]], Lei Bao's last surviving descendant, who had been wearing it as a pendant. He teleported back onto Ji-Hun's ship and sent the Keystone down, but did not leave to see the next phase of his plan as Ji-Hun himself put a sword through his heart, deciding to show "no [[mercy]]" to the creature who had taken "[his] ship, [his] crew and [his] life".
