Malefor

Story

The Dark Master was the first purple dragon to exist. He mastered many elements and was taught by the elders. But his power knew no boundary, it just kept growing. When he wouldn't stop, the dragons exiled him. The Dark Master built a new fortress on a mountain and built a army of apes. He taught the apes how to artificially harness the power of the gems, which was the dragon's lifeforce. His malice was so great, that it spilt the earth and created the Mountain of Malefor, which is now known as the Well of Souls.

He now seeks to escape the Well of Souls and to wreak havoc upon the land.

Pre-TLOS:ANB

One day, Gaul, (a faithful servent of the Dark Master) and his dark army of apes, went to the Dragon Temple and to destroy all the dragon eggs, including the egg of the purple dragon from the prophecy, knowing that the purple dragon can stop the Dark Master and his armies. Gaul failed to find the egg because Ignitus, the Dragon Guardian, took it. After that, Gaul decided to destroy the rest and take an egg for himself. When the dragon was born, Gaul named the dragon "Cynder" and trained her. Under the influence of the Dark Master's poisonous powers, Cynder grew to adult size and strength quickly due to the dark magic the Dark Master shrouded Cynder in and became his tool for destruction.

Gaul sent Cynder to go to the Dragon Realms to wreak havoc and try to find the purple dragon from the prophecy and destroy it. Cynder, with all her might, wiped out the armies of dragons. All the dragons could do in the end was to hide underground. One day, Cynder and Gaul found a way to bring the Dark Master back from the portal of Convexity. They need to harvest 4 Elements from Dragon Guardians in order to release the Dark Master. Cynder flew and weakened 3/4 of the Dragon Guardians who are Cyril, Volteer and Terrador and drained their elemental powers inside crystals. She then takes the crystals to her lair.

Cynder reverts to her normal form, Spyro takes the unconscious body and flies out of the Convexity portal.
