### Biography

If you’re looking for the Skylands’ most honest and humble pilot... look elsewhere. Captain Flynn is the King of the Skies and wants to make sure you know it. With more swagger than ten Mabu, this loud, brash, and cocksure pilot will fly the Skylanders through any storm, any situation, and any danger. The only price of admission aboard his ship, The Dread Yacht: be forced to listen to him describe all his heroic, death-defying tall tales - regardless of whether or not any of it is true. But what difference does that make so long as you enjoy the ride?

## Personality

Flynn is notable for his very over-confident personality, especially when it comes to "the ladies". He often calls himself 'the greatest pilot in all of Skylands'. He also tends to taking co-part in the spotlight, often including himself in the credits for things only a Skylander does. In addition, Flynn can be accident-prone and silly while adventuring with the Skylanders. On a few occasions, Flynn isn't the smartest person in the group, but is very knowledgeable about flight equipment. As displayed in *Swap Force*, he relies too much on machinery and isn't used to different ways of traveling around apart from using a ship.

Although he has an inflated opinion of himself, Flynn does have a good heart and is extremely optimistic. He is also courageous, as evident in *The Machine of Doom* 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. Though Flynn is boisterous and prideful of his abilities and frequently makes tall tales about his exploits, he differs in being much more genuine about using his ego to drive others forward, and helps the Skylanders with genuine interest even when they attempt to push him away. However, this is both a blessing and a curse, as he can get easily frustrated at his teammates and act needlessly aggressive to reach a goal.
