Kaos

Template:Infobox Template:SpyroWikia Kaos is an evil Portal Master and the main antagonist in the console versions of the spin-off Spyro game, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. He aims to take over Skylands using the powers of The Darkness and is responsible for banishing all the Skylanders, including Spyro, from their world to Earth after destroying the Core of Light that protected Skylands.

Personality

Kaos is overconfident, with a big ego as well as an inferiority complex. He was ridiculed when he was younger and desperately tries to be taken seriously as a villain. He despises the new Portal Master whom he calls by 'Apprentice Portal Master' and 'Portal Master Imposter', and claims that only he is the real Portal Master. Like most villains, Kaos is disgusted at the sight of romantic atmospheres (as evident when Cali and Flynn were having a soft moment with one another when they both finally found something they agree on). The only person whom he treats with any kindness is his butler Glumshanks.

He also has a strong hatred for the tree folk, including his evil Life minion, Evil Ent.

Abilities

Being a Portal Master, Kaos has the ability to summon darker versions of the Skylanders, as well as other races such as Cyclopses, Trolls, the Drow, and Spell Punks as his minions. He also has the ability to summon powerful spells using the power of the four Eternal Sources: Water, Life, Fire, and Undead.

Kaos is also notable for being able to cast a large projection of his head to talk to the Skylanders and the new Portal Master from his castle on a Portal and speaks with a threatening voice to make himself sound menacing and to possibly hide his real, screechy voice.

Story

History

Before he became evil, it was said that Kaos was born a prince. While his brothers were blessed with long, flowing locks, Kaos was bald, ugly, and devastatingly smelly. His father dismissed Kaos as an embarassing runt, and the prince kicked his father in the widdershins, gave away his royal name, and headed out into the wilderness along with his equally-ugly butler, Glumshanks. Desperate for companionship of the non-troll variety, Kaos set to work on trying to build friends of his own out of wood. Remarkably, he actually had some success, and thus the mannequin people known as the Wilikin were born. Unfortunately, Kaos being Kaos, even his own creations could not bear to be around him.

Despite being equipped with no sense of smell, the Wilikin were nonetheless able to detect their creator’s distinctive pong, and ran off to become servants for the royal family. It wasn’t all bad news for Kaos, however. Having created the Wilikin, he realized he had something of a knack for magic, and he threw himself into learning more about this unexpected power. When his research brought him to the subject of Portal Masters, he immediately knew he must be one of them. The only problem was, he didn’t have a portal. So, with Glumshanks at his side, he began to scour the universe for one. It was only a matter of time before they found their way to Skylands and learnt of the Core of Light, the mysterious machine that filled Skylands with light and kept The Darkness at bay. Hungry for power, Kaos had tried to destroy the Core there and then, but had been defeated by Master Eon and the Skylanders. He, however, had never given up on the dream of ruling Skylands.

Skylanders: The Machine of Doom

Kaos seeks an item called the Chattering Key, which is used to unlock an ancient Arkeyan artifact capable of destroying the Core of Light that not even the Skylanders nor Eon can stop it. The tyrant sent his Troll minions and a Spell Punk to test out their invisibility spell that is needed to sneak past the guard protecting the Key, but unfortunately, the Trolls caused mischief in the Mabu Market using their invisibility powers, drawing attention to the Skylanders, Spyro, Eruptor, and Gill Grunt. The Spell Punk accidentally uttered that they were looking for the Chattering Key, and he and the trolls were summoned back to Kaos' lair when the projection of Kaos' face appeared, aiming to punish the Spell Punk for revealing too much information.

While Spyro, Eruptor, Boomer, and Gill Grunt retrieved the Chattering Key from the Forest of Fear, Kaos had captured Flynn and used him to force the Skylanders to hand over the key to him. The evil tyrant and Glumshanks then summon a tomb leading to the Pyramid of Just Rewards that contained the Arkeyan artifact he was seeking: the Machine of Doom. Inside, Kaos once again tries to use Flynn as stalemate when the Skylanders had entered the tomb as well to stop Kaos, but Boomer disrupts him when the troll attempted control the Machine of Doom. However, the machine went out of control, breaking apart, and the pyramid itself started to crumble. Kaos laughs maniacally at the Skylanders, revealing that the Machine of Doom was really a trap designed by the Arkeyans to capture anyone who may be tempted to steal the weapon capable of destroying the Core of Light, and that Kaos planned on using the trap to bury the Skylanders alive.

Revealing his transport portal, Kaos attempted to make a hasty retreat from the crumbling pyramid, but was stopped by Boomer, who managed to control the Machine of Doom and destroy the portal. Spyro, despite wanting to leave Kaos in the very trap he tried to spring but knew what Eon would do, saves the evil tyrant from the tumbling ruins as Boomer uses the Machine of Doom to escape. Kaos, however, made his escape afterwards using a fragment of his transport portal and teleported home to his lair.

Back in his lair, Kaos begins to look through a book entitled, '101 Ways to Become Lord of Skylands', smiling evilly after writing out the words 'Plan One: The Machine of Doom' on the first page...

Spyro's Adventure

In the story events of Skylanders, Kaos returned to Skylands after his exile to exact his revenge, and he succeeded in destroying the Core of Light by using his Hydra, banishing the Skylanders to Earth in the process and proceeded to shroud the world of Skylands using The Darkness. He soon becomes aware of the new Portal Master who arrived to save Skylands, and attempted to stop them and the Skylanders from restoring the Core of Light, but failed. After the Core of Light was restored, Kaos, blinded by the bright light of the newly restored world, fled back to the Outlands, but not before vowing that he wasn't beaten yet.

The new Portal Master and the Skylanders soon confronted Kaos in his lair, battling against him, his Minions, and his Hydra, and successfully defeated them. As Kaos gloated that he will destroy the new Portal Master and Skylanders to oblivion another day, the hovering throne he was sitting on exploded due to the damage it sustained in battle, sending Kaos flying and landing back on the ground, knocking him out shortly afterwards. Kaos was then imprisoned temporarily at the Ruins, where he soon vowed that he will keep returning until Skylands was his if he was going to be banished to the Outlands once more. However, to his surprise, Kaos was banished to Earth instead where he was turned into a toy and is soon tormented by a dog.
