- – Brain
Brainis a one-eyed brain creature who claims to be the last of the Ancients in Skylanders: Imaginators. He commonly calls himself "the smartest, most powerful brain in the known universe".
Personality
Brain is highly egotistical, regarding himself highly and smarter than anyone else. He believes mind control is "the thinking brain's form of tyranny". Brain is also petty, switching sides to the Skylanders after arguing with Kaos; however, he is still an uneasy ally to the heroes, looking for uses for his powers to defeat evildoers to avoid punishment for his own actions.
Abilities
Brain is a very powerful user of Mind Magic, being able to bring his imagination to life, and warp reality with his and other people's thoughts, and possess others with weaker minds. Because of his powers over the mind, he has a great range of other abilities, from levitation, to projecting inpenetrable forcefields, granting powers to others, creating Doomlanders, to transmutation, and mind-control that can span the entire realm if combined with another user of Mind Magic. Brain also appears to be immortal or immune to aging, having been sealed away for thousands of years; and can combine his powers with the player to greatly boost Imaginators.
Story
History
Long ago, Brain and the other Ancients created everything in Skylands using Mind Magic. However, he stood up against his fellow Ancients and began using Mind Magic to brainwash all of Skylands, transforming the inhabitants into mindless servants. His plan was thwarted by the magic of Dragons, who were immune to mind control, and the remaining Ancients were able to lock away Brain in a jar as punishment for thousands of years.
Skylanders: Imaginators
When Kaos acquired the Everlasting Thinking Cap, he came into contact with Brain, who granted Kaos's request in creating the most powerful Doomlander: the Guacamole Monster. When it failed to stop the Skylanders, Brain possessed Kaos's bird to speak with Kaos personally and assist him in creating more powerful Doomlanders. Eventually Kaos started to become furious with Brain due to the failures of his Doomlanders, while his new ally stated that the reason for his failure was due Mind Magic requiring lots of "brain juice", which Kaos lacks, but if they were to combine their Mind Magic, that they would be able to do anything. After using Glumshanks as an unwitting test subject for Mind Magic, Brain instructed Kaos to find him at The Golden Arcade where the Ancient's jar prison was locked inside the Arcade's prized vault.
The Skylanders unwittingly undid the locks that held Brain's prison in an attempt to stop Kaos from reaching it, allowing him to escape while still on his jar. Brain went off to find Kaos almost immediately and the two villains combined their Mind Magic to unleash a wave of mind control to sweep across Skylands, turning nearly everyone, including the Skylanders, into brainless zombies. Eventually the Dragons of the Dragon Temple undid their control on the Skylanders, allowing them to create a giant cake to fool Kaos into letting them into his castle, despite Brain's suspicions. Eventually the Skylanders braved the defenses and met up with Kaos and Brain at the peak of the castle. Under Kaos's demands, Brain used his Mind Magic to turn Kaos into a super powered version of himself.
Eventually Brain became infuriated when Kaos insulted his lack of thumbs, resulting Brain to aid the Skylanders instead by empowering all Imaginators in the area. After a lengthy battle, Kaos was defeated once again, and Brain trapped Kaos in a forcefield before attempting to leave, however Spyro, Jet-Vac and Stealth Elf captured him for helping Kaos. Brain then explained that he owed it to Kaos because he freed him from the jar, but then decided to make amends for his wrong doings by helping the Skylanders with their fights against evil. Brain then shrunk down Kaos and Glumshanks, and put them on display in the very jar Brain was imprisoned in. As part of their agreement, the Skylanders allowed Brain to become a professor at Skylanders Academy.
