Flynn

Template:Characterbox (Skylanders) Template:SkylandersWikia Template:Q Flynn is one of the supporting characters in the console versions of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. He has an obvious crush on Cali.

Personality

Flynn has a very over-confident personality, especially when it comes to "the ladies". He often calls himself 'the greatest pilot in all Skylands'. He also tends to put himself in the spotlight, often taking credit for things the Skylander does. After the Skylander defeats Kaos though, Flynn admits that the Skylander is kind of amazing, mentioning that he doesn't say that about people other than himself. He is also courageous, as evident when he was held captive by Kaos, Flynn was willing to sacrifice himself for the Skylanders to leave with an item that could give Kaos ultimate power.

It is also shown on some occasions that Flynn isn't the smartest person in the group, but is shown to be very knowledgeable on flight equipment.

Story

The Machine of Doom

Template:SpoilerStart Flynn was helping Hugo warn the Skylanders on what the both of them had seen in the Mabu Market. However, upon arriving at the Ruins, Flynn's hot air balloon got out of control and crashlanded into Eon's garden, nearly crashing on Boomer had Spyro not saved the troll.

Boomer soon helped Flynn repair his hot air balloon, and the Mabu later helps the Skylanders on their quest for the Chattering Key that resides in the Forest of Fear. While the Skylanders were within the woods, Kaos captured Flynn and used him to force the Skylanders to give the tyrant the Chattering Key in exchange for Flynn's life. Flynn tells Spyro not to give the Key to Kaos, as the Mabu was willing to sacrifice himself for the Skylanders' mission. Spyro, not willing to sacrifice Flynn, gives Kaos the Key, but the tyrant soon uses Flynn as a hostage to keep the Skylanders from following them. Inside the Pyramid of Just Rewards, Flynn was held dangling above the flames of the chamber, until he was eventually freed by Eruptor and later escaped the crumbling pyramid along with the heroes.

Spyro's Adventure

Flynn helped out Hugo in seeking out the new Portal Master and the returning Skylanders on the Shattered Island. He later helps out the Skylanders in favor of taking down Kaos, and also due to Cali's involvement. The Balloonist takes the heroes by transporting them to the first three different areas using his hot-air balloon in Skylands: Perilous Pastures, Sky Schooner Docks, and Stormy Stronghold. Flynn afterwards stayed in the Ruins, but will give out balloon rides to the Skylanders all the while talking about himself and other various things.

After Kaos' defeat, Flynn stands by Cali and Hugo next to a captive Kaos, and complains about the tyrant's ramblings. This attracted Cali as she finally noticed something that both she and Flynn agree on, and she compliments the balloonist that he's okay when he's saying something ridiculous, to which Flynn responds with a 'back at ya'. As Kaos is sent skywards to Earth by Hugo, Flynn remarks to Cali on how fast the teleportation was.
