A loner at heart, Double Trouble discovered the joys of companionship through his clones. Always upbeat, the spirited shaman is a bundle of unearthly Eldritch energy. [1]
Biography
Double Trouble was an adept spellcaster. On an expedition to find exotic ingredients for his potions, he traveled in search of a rare lily that was said to multiply the power of any spell. So thrilled was he when he found it, Double Trouble instantly ate the plant and performed a spell. Suddenly, there was a loud pop… then another… and another – until Double Trouble was surrounded by exact copies of himself. As it turned out, he had misunderstood the details about exactly what would multiply. But it didn’t matter, for he quickly realized the clones were delightful companions… never mind that they were only half his size and would explode on contact.
Story
History
Double Trouble once lived all on his lonesome in a tropical Skylands rainforest. Here, he foraged for rare roots and exotic plants for his potions. During one such forage, the solitary sorcerer discovered the Whispering Water Lily, a wondrous plant said to multiply the strength of any spell. Straight away, he tried it out. He greedily gobbled the lily down, and then... Belch! Gurgle! Pop! Three tiny copies of himself appeared from nowehere. It seemed that he had silightly misunderstood the lily's powers. Luckily, his clones were charming, clever and cute - and he could certainly do with companionship. There was just one drawback: the clones had an annoying tendency to explode on contact. Still, they turned out to be exactly what Master Eon was looking for, so the hallowed one wasted no time in making Double Trouble a Skylander.[2]
Double Trouble was the one who discovered Zoo Lou and saw his potential after the furry shaman drove off the trolls that had invaded his homeland.
Lightning Rod Faces the Cyclops Queen
Double Trouble and Hugo disoriented from the balloon crash.
Double Trouble was on board Flynn's balloon with Hugo and Warrior Librarian, Squirmgrub, when they were on their way to the Storm Titan Games to inform Master Eon of the location of the next segment to the Mask of Power. However Lightning Rod's stray hammer crashed into the air balloon, causing it to spiral out of control. The passengers were saved from the crash by Drobot, and Hugo afterwards informed Eon of the next fragment to the Mask of Power.
Despite not being able to communicate with the other characters, Master Eon and Pop Fizz are both able to understand what Double Trouble is saying. The shaman was sent to Tempest Towers with Lightning Rod, Drobot, Pop Fizz, Cali, and Flynn to retrieve the Air fragment that was believed to be a Land Whale. Along the way, Double Trouble's clone managed to sneak on board Kaos's Drow zeppelin after the evil Portal Master captured Cali for the path to Tempest Towers. It is revealed the shaman can see through the eyes of his doubles. Once the Skylanders managed to get to Tempest Towers before Kaos, Double Trouble and Flynn were left outside the city wall to keep an eye out for Kaos.
While Kaos attempted to enter the Cyclops city, Double Trouble and Flynn snuck on aboard the Drow zeppelin to rescue Cali just before the evil Portal Master and his army of Drow engaged in an all-out battle with the Cyclops Queen and her army. With Flynn's help, Double Trouble and Cali took control over Kaos's Drow zeppelin to use as a way to get off the island, while Kaos and his Drow forces pursued the escaped Land Whale on foot. It was soon revealed that the Air segment wasn't the Land Whale, but one of the city's towers as it is made from the heaviest stone in Skylands, the opposite of the Air element. The Skylanders were able to carry the tower back to the Eternal Archive thanks to a supersized Lightning Rod, and celebrated their victory. However they were unaware that they was a traitor in their mist, revealing the locations of the fragment to the Mask of Power to Kaos: Squirmgrub.

There are three things that would have been running through Double Trouble's mind during his frozen state: Magic, Magic, and Magic! That's right! This masked, magical guru has spent so long thinking about the subject that he's hardly ever made a friend in his life. Aww![3]
