Reformed villains from Skylanders Trap Team will play a big role in Skylanders Imaginators later this year as playable Sensei Skylanders characters with accompanying toy figurines. Thanks to E3 we have learned who the second villain is and he’s just as high profile as the Golden Queen, available in the Starter Pack.
Joining the Skylanders ranks is none other than Wolfgang, the formerly music-obsessed villain who spent two grueling years doing busy work for Master Eon to complete his transition to the side of good. The Skylanders Imaginators Wolfgang figure comes with a bow weapon as he’s now more interested in teaching up-and-coming bowslingers than blasting out musical notes.
It’s a little early to say definitively whether Wolfgang will be a launch figure but I’d say the odds are pretty good considering historically most of the E3 figures revealed are available day-and-date with the Starter Pack debut.
Here are some high-res images of Wolfgang as seen in the game as well as his sweet-looking toy, followed by his official bio:
Wolfgang wasn’t always a werewolf. He was once a handsome, brilliant musician set to marry a beautiful princess. Before the wedding, he planned to unveil his ultimate symphony to all the greatest music aficionados in Skylands, convinced they would love it and instantly hail him as the best composer ever. But they didn’t. They hated it – and even worse, it actually hurt to listen to. He had unintentionally discovered the musical note forpain. Being shunned like this drove Wolfgang utterly and completely mad, physically transforming him into the werewolf he is today. With the princess no longer wanting to marry him, he turned to a life of crime, terrorizing the royal subjects and using his evil music as a weapon. The Golden Queen took note of this and realized that Wolfgang could make a powerful ally, if she could control his rage and keep him in line. But when they were bothcaptured by the Trap Masters, Eon gave these two Super Villains a choice – either go back to a newly reformed Cloudcracker Prison or become Skylander Senseis, teaching a new generation of Imaginators their formidable battle skills as well as how to stay clear of a life of crime. They accepted the deal but first had to prove themselves by re-arranging all the books in the Academy’s library, a task which took almost two years, almost drivingWolfgang mad again. But he got through it and realized he could earn more respect as a Sensei training the Bowslinger Class than he ever could as a musician.
