– The Conductor

The Conductor is an Ape and the driver of Steam in The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. Both serve as the boss in Munitions Forge. The Conductor may have been the head of Cynder's security there. He is one of the few Apes shown to talk.

Physical Appearance

The Conductor is a small and thin, gold-hairy ape wearing an armored kilt secured by a maroon belt, purple wristbands and anklets, and a tall metal hat resembling a drum major hat. His chest, elbows and feet are a purple coloration. His in-game model wears a white polka-dotted red bandanna around his neck, while concept art shows that he lacks a bandanna. He also wields a thin shovel.

Story

The Conductor was introduced when Spyro and Sparx watched him and several apes board Steam to Terrador's cage. Pursued by them on a train cart through railroad tunnels, they fought until the purple dragon was knocked off the tracks. The Conductor and Steam later confronted Spyro alone as he and Sparx reached Terrador, informing them they were too late to stop the crystal from absorbing the Earth Guardian's power as Boyzitbig neared eruption. They fought again, resulting in Spyro destroying Steam and freeing Terrador.

The Conductor himself is not seen again after this, but it is likely that he either hopped off his destroyed locomotive and escaped or was killed by the eruption of Boyzitbig.
