Biography[]
North Wind first appeared when the Miser Brothers attend the family reunion, where North Wind passively asks Mother Nature if anything bad would happen to Santa, with Mother Nature adding that she would have to let North Wind take over if Santa was put out of commission.
Determined to take the opportunity, North Wind secretly plots to dispose of Santa to take over the North Pole and do the work of spreading Christmas himself. To that end, he had his minions take down Santa Claus' Super-Sleigh at the Miser Brothers' domain, causing Santa to throw his back out and blaming the Miser Brothers for the accident due to their feud. Unaware of what has really happened, Mother Nature punishes both Heat and Snow Miser by forcing them to work at the toy factory so that they can deliver the presents while Santa's back needs to be tended.
Despite getting off to a bad start, the Miser Brothers warm up by forming a truce to get the toy factory running, bringing enough presents to the sleigh to deliver. Feeling that their newfound relationship will put his plan in danger, North Wind gets his minions to attach heating and cooling units to the sleigh to prank them, causing both Heat and Snow Miser to fight each other again. This forces a desperate Santa to deliver the presents himself on his sleigh (despite his back injuries).
By the time Santa is riding his sleigh, North Wind arrives to the scene, planning to send Santa into an inescapable vortex. Around the same time, one of the elves named Tinsel discovers that the sleigh was sabotaged and that Heat and Snow Miser had nothing to do with it. She informed the Miser Brothers and Mrs. Claus about this and they find a Christmas card that North Wind accidentally threw outside his window portraying him dressed up as Santa, which made them realize the truth about North Wind's plan. Using a spare sleigh, the Miser Brothers work together to save Santa from the vortex. Tinsel traps North Wind in a parachute and they head back to the workshop.
Upon arriving back at the North Pole, North Wind jumps out, angered that his plan was foiled, and the Miser Brothers tell him that he's been a very naughty boy. North Wind taunts his two brothers in response, telling them that they (along with everyone else in the North Pole) can’t punish him since they have no authority over him. However, the Miser Brothers call in the only person who does have authority over North Wind: Mother Nature herself. Finally knowing the truth of what really happened, Mother Nature angrily grabs North Wind by the ear, calmly assuring to everyone that she’ll make North Wind do all her household chores for the next thousand years as punishment for his actions.
Upon hearing this, North Wind protests at this by trying to explain his actions, but is then transported back to Mother Nature's place, where he’s forced to clean up thousands of dishes as part of his punishment. Mother Nature then pardons both Heat Miser and Snow Miser, who end up being on the "Nice" list before substituting for Santa to deliver the presents themselves. North Wind is last seen moaning over his defeat as he continues washing the huge pile of dirty dishes while the Miser Brothers deliver all of the presents to the children all over the world.
