Dr. Neo Cortex is a professional scientist born in Peoria, Illinois, and is the primary antagonist of the Crash Bandicoot series. He is Crash Bandicoot's arch-nemesis and creator, and has been seen throughout the series with colleagues such as Dr. Nitrus Brio, Dr. N-Gin, and Uka Uka; animal henchmen such as Tiny Tiger and Dingodile, and his niece Nina Cortex.
In Skylanders: Imaginators, Neo Cortex is one of the Tech Senseis and now trains Imaginators who belong to the Sorcerer Battle Class. He is available with Crash (who is a Brawler Sensei of the Life element) in the Crash Edition Starter Pack for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 (though they're both playable on other consoles), alongside the original components of the regular starter pack: King Pen, Golden Queen, and a Fire Creation Crystal. He and Crash are also available in the Thumpin' Wumpa Islands Adventure Pack for those who want to buy them separately.
Background
Biography
A wormhole has opened in Skylands and the great Aku Aku appears! He comes to announce the once-in-two-decades Synchronization Celebration -- it is the time when all the worlds align perfectly. All the inhabitants of Wumpa Island are having a huge party in the Wumpa Islands and want to invite the Skylanders. But Dr. Neo Cortex has created a sinister machine to harness this incredible energy for his own evil purposes, only to watch it go completely haywire. Now Dr. Neo Cortex must partner with Crash Bandicoot to stop the machine before Wumpa Islands are completely shaken apart!
Story
In the Thumpin' Wumpa Islands Adventure Pack, Dr. Neo Cortex had planned an evil scheme for 20 years to create an army of unstoppable minions using the rhythmic energies of the Synchronization Celebration that took place on the Island. However his Cortex Matrix Chamber was hijacked by his minion Fake Crash, causing an explosion that sent Cortex rocketing towards the island beach. He is then forced to partner with his nemesis, Crash Bandicoot, and the Skylanders to stop Fake Crash from destroying Wumpa Island with bad rhythms. After Fake Crash's defeat, Cortex was dismayed that his Cortex Matrix Chamber was turned into a docile music box by Mags and was last seen glaring angrily at Crash.
Relationships
Crash Bandicoot
As his original creator, Cortex holds a deep hatred for Crash Bandicoot. Whenever Cortex attempts to take over the world, Crash always steps in and saves the day, which deeply enrages Cortex.
In Crash Twinsanity, they had formed an official truce to save their dimension from The Evil Twins. This resulted in Cortex tolerating Crash (even allowing him to use him as a weapon or gadget). Although this truce had ended notably bad.
However, now that they're Skylanders, the scientist and the marsupial are now on much friendlier terms with one another once again, even though they are often annoyed at each other's personal antics.
Uka Uka
Uka Uka is Cortex's master and the brother to Aku Aku. Uka Uka is always enraged at Cortex due to his constant failure to take over the world.
Dr Nitrous Brio
Cortex has a long mixed history with N. Brio, as they were both the most bullied classmates in Madame Amberly's Academy of Evil. N. Brio had eventually joined Cortex in adulthood to take over the world.
N. Brio's greatest contribution was the perfection of Cortex's childhood invention, The Evolvo-Ray, however, due to his low self esteem, his master had claimed the credit for himself. He was abandoned by Cortex a year later due to his failure to stop Crash Bandicoot (and the unintentional destruction of his castle).
A year later, N. Brio had wanted revenge on his former master, thus he created additional mutants to stop Crash from collecting the Crystals, as well as convince the Marsupial himself to instead collect Gems. Upon the collection of them all, he had used a Death Ray to destroy the Cortex Vortex.
Many more years later N. Brio had re united with Cortex and helped to created the NV. However, due to his stolen credit, he had now claimed to have invented everything in existence. He had then left Cortex's side again shortly after being defeated by Crash.
Dr N. Gin
Like N. Brio, Dr N. Gin was a bullied classmate of Cortex during the Academy days.
He had re united with Cortex on his second attempt to take over the world as N. Brio's successor. Since then, he had been Cortex's most loyal minion.
Years later, his insanity increased, resulting in him being disrespected by his master more and more, eventually being replaced by N. Brio himself. He had refused to believe this however.
Nina Cortex
Cortex sees his niece more as a daughter due to her lack of parents and has cared for her as such since Crash Twinsanity. However, Nina has little respect for her Uncle himself, as evident primarily by her treachery in Crash of The Titans.
Cortex has been shown to go to extremes in discipline by ending Nina's enrollment at the Academy of Evil and taking her to his own Evil Public School, even allowing the other students to bully her.
The Evil Twins
Cortex's childhood parrots, Victor and Mortiz were said to be the only animals he didn't loathe or eat, therefore being somewhat loved by him.
At the age of eight, he had used them as test subjects for a prototype of the Evolvo-Ray. However, the device instead sent them to the 10th Dimension, in which the severe radioactive conditions had Evolved them even to the point of power over reality.

Trivia
- Cortex and Boom Bloom are the only Senseis to not have a weapon from their battle classes. While Cortex can turn his weapon into a staff, he mainly wields a gun.
- Unlike Boom Bloom however, Cortex's unlockable weapon is not for the battle class he is in, but is instead for the quickshot battle class.
- Cortex is one of two known playable human characters (the other is Aurora), though because of his original series' art style, he does not appear to be one.
- His name is a pun on neocortex, the largest part of the brain.
- Just as with Crash, characters in Thumpin' Wumpa Islands will have custom dialogue if you play as Cortex. In his case, they will act untrustworthy towards him (rightfully), believing he is the cause of the problem in some way.
- He and Crash are the only characters to also act as Adventure Pack figures, adding Thumpin' Wumpa Islands to the game.
- Despite being the only Guest Star who is able to talk freely, like the other Guest Stars, he does not have a catchphrase.
- Cortex is the second villain who did not appear in "Trap Team" to have a Skylander figurine (The first is Hammer Slam Bowser).
- Unlike Hammer Slam Bowser and Turbo Charge Donkey Kong who are only exclusive to Nintendo, he and Crash Bandicoot are the first and only guest characters that can be played in any gaming consoles.
- Prior to his earlier appearances in previous Crash Bandicoot games, Cortex used to have five digits on each hand.
- On his figure he bares white sleeves. However, ingame he has black sleeves.
