The Ancients were mystical beings in the Skylanders series who created the Core of Light. It was said that the Ancients "were wise beyond imagination, but lazy beyond measure", a quote from the Book of Paper. The book further notes the Ancients designed amazing technology and built many incredible machines such as the Rift Engines. But long naps often took priority. They claimed the naps were a necessary part of the creative process and that personal hygiene was a mere distraction.
One of the Ancients, Brain, made their appearance in Skylanders: Imaginators.
History
The benevolent Ancients created everything in Skylands using Mind Magic, but sealed the power away to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. However, one of the Ancients stood against his colleagues and began using Mind Magic to brainwash all of Skylands. Thanks to the magic of Dragons, who were immune to mind control, Brain's control was broken, and his plan was stopped, allowing the good Ancients to imprison their former colleague in a jar, where he would remain for thousands of years.
In their haste to explore new worlds and spread the light of Skylands, the Ancients afterwards created the Dark Rift Engine. This inadvertently released The Darkness, who proceeded to wreck havoc across Skylands with legions of evil. The Skylanders of old held back the minions of The Darkness until a solution was made known when the Ancients created the Core of Light, which successfully repelled the Darkness to the dark corners of Skylands.
Trivia
- It is implied by Kaos during the credit roll of Skylanders: Trap Team that the Ancients may be the development team of Toys For Bob.
- They are mentioned in Blastermind's backstory as having used Psionic Power Crystals that amplified their thoughts.
