	~ The Sorcerer to his enemy Spyro.

The Sorcerer is the overarching antagonist of the 2004 platform game Spyro: A Hero's Tail and the main antagonist of its 2005 action role-playing sequel, Spyro: Shadow Legacy.

He is a mysterious evil purple dragon in disguise throughout the campaign who is responsible for causing the Calamity that drained most of the magic from the world.

His vocal grunts were done by Jess Harnell, who also voiced Red in the same game.

Personality

The Sorcerer considers only himself as a "true" dragon and superior to Spyro and the other dragons, whom he claims are not true dragons.

Possibly throughout the Spyro universe, the Sorcerer was quite a sadistic and dark villain who wanted everything to go the way that he plans, not caring about the consequences even if it involved torturing children until the magic is completely drained out of them.

Biography

Most of the Sorcerer's history is unknown, but what is known is that he built three Shadow Amplifier machines that were responsible for the Calamity, which pulled people into the Shadow Realm where they were imprisoned. While Spyro began the task of freeing the people from the Shadow Realm, the Sorcerer randomly appeared during Spyro's travels and teleported away when he draws near.

After Spyro saved everyone in the Realms, he confronted the Sorcerer, who offered Spyro to join him. Spyro refused, and the Sorcerer retreats into his castle to engage him in battle. At the start of the battle, the Sorcerer transformed into an enormous dragon but was ultimately defeated. The Sorcerer escaped, and was said to be building up power for his next attack (which never came to be due to the reboot of the Legend trilogy).

Appearance

The Sorcerer wears a black robe with a hood that covers most of his features. He seems to be an anthropomorphic purple dragon wielding a magic scepter. While transformed into a large dragon, he possesses four wings, red spikes and horns, and a design on his tail-spike resembling his black gold scepter with a ruby gem attached to the top of it.

Trivia

• The Sorcerer and the Sorceress both possess scepters, as does Ripto and Gnasty Gnorc.
• His dragon form in game resembles Malefor, the main antagonist in The Legend of Spyro trilogy.
  • Due to the trivia above, some fans consider him to be the classic version of Malefor (although Malefor himself never appeared in Spyro's classic version), who would also make appearances in the Skylanders series. This would also technically make The Sorcerer the prime/original Malefor as well. However, the resemblances may only be through inspiration due to similar developers.
• He is the last villain in the original Spyro continuity.
