The Blizzard Samurai, also known as the Ice Samurai, were a force of inhuman warriors who served the Ice Emperor and commanded by General Vex. They lived in the Never-Realm.

Before Zane's Takeover, some of them were an army of human warriors that had ruled over the realm under the leadership of their king, Grimfax, one day Vex came seeking to become a royal advisor and wanted to crush the Formlings for revenge. However, Grimfax saw through his lies and sent him away because he did not want to cause trouble to the Formlings.

Shortly afterward, Zane arrived and lost his memories due Vex's actions. Vex tricked him into believing he was the realm's former leader and told him he was his loyal advisor and that he should depose the king. Zane than deposed Grimfax and corrupted the warriors, turning them into inhuman Blizzard Warriors and created Boreal, a dragon made of Ice, to extend his power. He also created Blizzard Archers and Blizzard Sword Masters to aid the Blizzard Warriors.

For around 60 years, the Blizzard Samurai ruled over the realm and Boreal froze the Village of the Formlings. They even committed genocide against a tribe of Yetis. eventually the ninjas arrived and defended the Great Lake from them. However, Boreal eventually defeated them by freezing the Ice Fishers. The Blizzard Samurai captured Lloyd and took him to the Castle of Ice where he found out the Ice Emperor was none other than Zane. They threw him into prison with Kataru where the two became friends and allied with Grimfax to awaken Zane.

The Blizzard Samurai fought against Grimfax and Kataru and won. However, Vex said the word "protect," which caused Zane to get his memories back, and he smashed his scepter, freeing everyone Boreal froze. Now that Zane is no longer the Ice Emperor, the Blizzard Warriors had returned to their human forms and serve Grimfax once again while the Sword Masters and Archers were either destroyed in battle or destroyed shortly afterward when Zane destroyed his scepter.
