“Behold! It is I, Kaos! And as you can see, I AM AWESOME!”

– Kaos

Kaos is an evil Portal Master and the main antagonist in the Skylanders series. He plots to take over Skylands and was responsible for banishing all the Skylanders 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 is obnoxious, loud mouthed, idiotic and delusional. He speaks in a varied voice, from normally one second, then shouting out with excess emphasis the next. Kaos 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. However, underneath his overconfident exterior, Kaos possesses a cunning mind, catching the Skylanders by suprise when the evil Portal Master had tricked them into triggering a trap that would've buried the heroes alive.

Like most villains, Kaos is disgusted at the sight of romantic atmospheres. The only person whom he treats with any kindness, is his butler Glumshanks, and later the Arkeyan Conquertron. He also has a strong hatred for the tree folk, including his evil Life Minion, Evil Ent. As expected, Kaos glorifies himself immensely, with his castle filled with things that boost his already enormous ego.

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 with the assistance of the Eternal Sources.

It has been shown that Kaos is a master of Dark Magic and has a some gift for invention. He can project magic bolts of energy and has once had a sceptar the causes creatures to grow.

Kaos is also notable for being able to cast a large, hooded projection of his head to talk to the outside world on a Portal from inside his castle. Using this special effect, the projection of his head is more terrifying (though all of Skylands knows that it isn't his real face) and Kaos speaks with a deeper alteration of his voice to make himself sound more sinister.

In Giants, he gains the Iron Fist of Arkus, which tranforms him into a large Arkeyan robot that looks relatively similar to himself. He is also apparently the most powerful of the Arkeyans while in this form. It gives him complete command over the Arkeyan armies, and allows him to use eye lasers. He can spawn Arkeyan robots and blob generators

In Swap Force, he is evilized when a huge pile of Petrified Darkness lands on top of him. He transforms into Super Evil Kaos, which is a gigantic, rock-like version of himself. He can cause huge shockwaves when he stamps his feet on the ground. He can also summon Elemental Golems and Chompy Rustbuds . His brain also becomes sentient, allowing it to conjure thoughts and bring them to life inside of him, most notably a small version of Glumshank's Arkeyan Tank, and Sheep with Kaos' head.

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.

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 learned 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

Spyro standing beside a snickering Kaos as he reveals the true nature behind The Machine of Doom.

Kaos sought after an item called the Chattering Key, which was 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. 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 the evil Portal Master. Kaos 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 laughed 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, saved the evil tyrant from the tumbling ruins as Boomer used 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 began 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...

Skylanders: Spyro versus The Mega Monsters

Kaos appeared in the Stinky Swamp saving Spyro, Stealth Elf, and Blobbers from an unusually large titchy toad with the use of a magic staff. He then announced that he would be turning over a new leaf by fighting evil-doers, leaving Spyro and Stealth Elf in complete disbelief. Soon, the news of Kaos's heroic exploits were spread throughout Skylands, defeating mega-sized animals and saving the inhabitants before the Skylanders could have the chance, irritating the heroes.

Kaos soon reappeared at the Eternal Archives, suspending a group of mega-sized Chompies to stop them from devouring the Skylanders. The evil Portal Master revealed that as a child he wanted to borrow a book called World Domination for Beginners and other related books from the Eternal Archive, but was told by the Chief Curator, Wiggleworth that they weren't available for loan (in order to keep them from falling into the wrong hands). Kaos threatened to release the giant Chompies upon the heroes if Wiggleworth didn't hand over a forbidden book to him. When Wiggleworth refused, the evil Portal Master released the Chompies to devour the group. Stealth Elf stole the magic staff from Kaos, and used its power to enlarge Spyro two times the size of the giant Chompies, allowing the dragon to battle the giant enemies.

Kaos managed to steal back his staff and used its power to shrink Stealth Elf down to the size of an ant. As revenge, the tiny elf stabbed one of her daggers into Kaos's ankle like a splinter, causing the evil Portal Master to painfully drop his staff and allowing Drill Sergeant the chance to destroy it, returning Spyro and Stealth Elf back to normal size.Cornering Kaos, Spyro soon realized that Kaos's true plan was to test his staff on a few creatures (growing them into a giant size), trick people into thinking he was saving them just so he could attack the Archive and blackmail its curator, who Kaos thought would be blinded by hero worship like others have.

Knowing that he was defeated, Kaos disappeared, vowing that his failed plan was only the beginning.

Skylanders: Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master

Kaos firing a bolt of magic at the Skylanders with Glumshanks looking on.

After the events of The Mega Monsters, it was revealed that Kaos was seeking after the fragments of the Mask of Power, an evil artifact that he would use to destroy the Core of Light. After failing to steal the Book of Power in order to locate the rest of the fragments, he managed to obtain the Tech fragment, and searched for the Water Fragment that the Skylanders were also looking for.

After the Skylanders defeated Captain Grimslobber, Kaos was able to retrieve the broken pieces of the Fish Master's Crown that supposedly containted the Water Fragment he was after. The evil Portal Master taunted the Skylanders by dumping gallons of fish on them before firing a bolt of magic on the ship of the Fearsome Fang to sink the heroes before making his leave. Although Kaos seemed to have taken the Water Fragment, he was unaware that the real Fragment was in the hands of the Skylanders while all he got was a broken crown.  The evil Portal Master is currently looking for the rest of the Fragments, with the Skylanders getting ready for him.

Skylanders: Lightning Rod Faces the Cyclops Queen

WARNING: This section contains spoilers below! (Skip section)

Kaos captured Cali after hearing that she knew the way to Tempest Towers that held the Air fragment to the Mask of Power: the Land Whale. With the help of his Drow army, the evil Portal Master navigated through the Sea of Storms with the Skylanders in hot pursuit. The heroes managed to fly past Kaos and his minions and beat him to Tempest Tower. Once at Tempest Towers, Kaos immediately announced his arrival. After meeting the Cyclops Queen, she saw Kaos as a unique specimen to her animal collection and ordered for his capture. Kaos's Drow army fought against the Cyclopses and won the fight, 

Kaos attempted to force the Cyclops Queen to tell him the password to the door leading to where the Land Whale was being held, but her husband, Pipsqueak, told him out of fear for his life after being turned into a pot of petunias. The Skylander, Lightning Rod, quickly hurled the Land Whale out of Tempest Towers and into the unknown, and Kaos and his Drow army quickly gave chase. It was soon revealed that the Air fragment wasn't the Land Whale, but the Cyclops Queen's tower that held her animal collection.

Having lost most of his Drow army to the Land Whale as a result, Kaos contacted a spy within the vault of the Eternal Vault named Squirmgrub, a traitorous Warrior Librarian who had been telling the evil Portal Master the locations to the fragments to the Mask of Power...

Spoilers end here.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

In the story events of Spyro's Adventure, Kaos returned to Skylands after his exile to exact his revenge. 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.

Skylanders: Giants

After being banished to Earth, Kaos's toy form was recovered and placed inside a toy store called Super Toy Planet. He was soon released from his frozen state because of his status as a Portal Master, and initially plotted to destroy Earth once he has taken over Skylands. He saw the frozen Skylanders in toy form nearby inside a toy display and took the chance to taunt them before being contacted via television screen by Glumshanks, who had been looking everywhere for Kaos since his exile. Kaos then painfully used a nearby Portal of Power to return to Skylands, despite Glumshanks's warnings that Portal Masters don't use portals on themselves.

Upon his arrival, Kaos landed in a very ancient part of Skylands and inadvertantly reactivated the Arkeyan Conquertron, quickly learning that if he could acquire something known as the Iron Fist of Arkus, he could not only reactivate the entire army of Arkeyan robots, but also command them. With that kind of power, Kaos would be unstoppable. Despite the Skylanders' and the Giants' efforts to stop Kaos, the evil Portal Master was able to reach the Lost City of Arkus and gain hold of the Iron Fist of Arkus, transforming himself into a large Arkeyan robot before using the Iron Fist's power to resurrect the Arkeyan army.

Before he could begin his world conquest with his Arkeyan army, the Skylander confronted Kaos, only to discover that the latter was impossible to stop unless the Iron Fist of Arkus was removed from his grasp. With the help of Ermit and Machine Ghost, the Skylander was able to remove the Fist of Arkus, returning Kaos to his normal form. After losing the Iron Fist, and soon afterwards the Arkeyan Conquertron, Kaos returned to his castle where he revealed to Glumshanks that he has at least 37 more plans to take over Skylands. The evil Portal Master laughed evilly, only to be confronted by his Mother moments later.

Skylanders: Swap Force

Kaos is one of the main antagonists in Skylanders: Swap Force, and will be trying to use Cloudbreak Islands' volcano to spread Darkness through Skylands. He is joined by his mother, who will, to his annoyance, help Kaos in his evil scheme. 

His plot is to evilize one of the Elder Elementals. If he was to succeed, during the next eruption of the volcano, the corrupt Elemental would cause the entire volcano to fill with Darkness, and then erupt to spread it through Skylands. To help with this plot, he summons the Greebles to help carry out his invasion. His first target is the Water Elemental, Flashfin. The Greebles are stopped by the Skylanders. Kaos evilizes Glumshanks to make him behave more evily, and to watch over the dig site of Evilized Darkness. Glumshanks is defeated, causing him to retreat. 

After Glumshanks retreats to Kaos, he is confronted by a hooded figure on a screen he uses to watch over his plots. The hooded figure is revealed to be Kaos' Mother, who tells him how her original plan was both a success (banished the SWAP Force to Earth), and a failure. She also tells him that his invasion has called so much attention, that the Skylanders returned. Kaos says that he will succeed by doing it his own way. He then sends out Greebles to take over Iron Jaw Gulch, and try to find out the location of the Terrasquid. The Skylanders defeat the Pirate Greebles, with the help of Marshall Wheelock, and move on to Motleyville to find Sharpfin. Kaos hires Baron von Shellshock to trap Flynn, Tessa, and Wheelock in Motleyville, overthrow Sharpfin, and to find out the exact location of the Terrasquid. He is defeated, but not before Kaos learns the location. 

Kaos is again confronted by his mother, who questions if he is trying to actually stop the Skylanders. Kaos then reveals his newest minion; the Fire Viper. With the help of Sharpfin, the Skylanders defeat the Viper, saving the Terrasquid.

Kaos' Mother then appears at his fortress, along with a group of other minions. to try and help him. She sends out Cyclopses to ambush the Skylanders at Boney Islands, and to try and get the location of the Ancient Frosthound. After they are defeated, the Cyclopses attack Winter Keep, in hopes of obtaining the Frosthound's location. They are defeated, but Kaos and his mom find out the Frosthound's location, Frostfest Mountains, so she sends out Mesmeralda to capture him, but she is ultimately overpoweed by the Skylanders.

Kaos leaves his castle to go after the Ancient Tree Spirit. He brings a legion of trolls that have been equipped with evilized fire, to burn down Fantasm Forest, the home of the Spirit. He personally oversees the plot in a glider mechanism. The legions of trolls are defeated, the fires are put out, the Tree Spirit is savedand Kaos is defeated once again, after his glider's engines are watered out.

Kaos is captured and held captive by the Skylanders once all 4 Elementals are joined together. But before they can perform the ceremony, Kaos' Mother appears and teleports Tessa and Kaos to his Fortress. The Skylanders then set off to the Fortress in Flynn's newly improved ship, made it pass the defenses, and defeat Kaos' Mother. After she is imprisoned in Kaos' overseer screen, he appears in his Portal, telling the Skylanders that he has filled the volcano with Petrified Darkness. Flynn, Tessa, Sharpfin, and the Skylanders all set off to stop him.

After piling a huge amount of Petrified Darkness near the heart of the volcano, the pile collapses on top of Kaos, evilizing him into Super Evil Kaos. Flynn, Tessa, Sharpfin, and the Skylander arrive and confront Kaos. The first target is his feet, which have evilized crystals jutting from his toes. After they clean the Petrified Darkness from there, Kaos proceeds to eat the Skylander, where his teeth are covered with crystals. After they clean all of them, Kaos spits out the Skylander into the air, where he tries to protect himself, only to have the Skylander fall into his ear, which drops onto his brain. Kaos' brain summons apparitions of previous memories to try and stop the Skylander, only to have the Crystals jutting from his brain launch out to where the Skylander can destroy them. Once all the crystals are clear, Kaos sneezes, sending the Skylander out to a long platform with a conveniently placed cannon. Kaos tries to stop the Skylander by shooting a jet of evilized fire at it, but the Skylander makes it to the cannon, enters it, and launches itself at the symbol on Kaos' head, destroying the last crystals on (and in) his body,

After he warps back to normal Kaos, him and Glumshanks meet up again, only to find that their legs and lower torsos have been switched. Kaos marvels at how he is finally tall, but they are caught in the eruption of the volcano, blasting them to somewhere unknown.
