Biography
From the moment he could crawl, Spy Rise wanted nothing more than to join his father in the family business as a private investigator. But after being hired by a shadowy figure to gather information on the Cloudbreak Islands, his father vanished, leaving Spy Rise alone to search for answers. He scoured the land for clues, using his immense skill in reconnaissance to track down his missing father, but all roads came up empty. Then one day, he received a tip from none other than Master Eon, which led him to a hidden lair near Mt. Cloudbreak, where he not only found his long lost father, but also uncovered an evil plot to take control of the magical volcano during the next eruption ceremony. With his father safe, Spy Rise decided to pursue a new career -- as a member of the Skylanders.

It was Spy Rise's intel that brought the villainous Captain Frightbeard to the Skylanders when they were treking a river on their way to the Wilikin Village. Spreading the rumor of a treasure onboard the ship, the result brought the evil seadog and his crew to the ship where the Skylanders launched an attack on the unsuspectig pirates. When Spyro was distracted by his weakened fire breath, Spy Rise saved his dragon companion from being swiped by Frightbeard's sword, only for Wallop to deliver the finishing blow to Frightbeard. Afterwards the Skylanders wondered why Spyro's fire powers weren't working.
