'''The Magician''', | '''The Magician''', also known as the '''Dark Teensy''',<ref name="ancel_comment">Instagram, @michelancel, https://www.instagram.com/p/DB6xfg_KUqj/, « Le dark teensy dans la sequence de danse Disco de la fin de Rayman Origins . On avait plus beaucoup de temps pour boucler le jeu et un gros speech de reveal était prévu dans le quel le DTeensy explique le micro planqué pour reveiller les morts dans la sequence de l'arbre dans l'intro, le fait que c'est un Fan boy de Mr Dark et que son plan etait de tout remplacer par des IA robots... C'etait vraiment complexe... On s'est regardé avec Eric Verwaerde, l'animateur en charge de la séquence et on a lancé l'idée de cette session Disco Just Dance bien débile. On s'est beaucoup amusé à faire ce jeu. »</ref><ref>The name is also used for his [[Dark Teensy|clones]] in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.</ref> is the main antagonist in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. Originally passing as a benevolent character helping the heroes throughout their quest by providing them with advice and access to new areas, he is later revealed to be a traitor and secret admirer of [[Mr Dark]] who has been manipulating the heroes in an attempt at world domination. | ||
He is a [[Teensie|Teensy]] and, because of the lack of dialogue and intelligible storytelling in the game, his relationship to [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|the identically named member of Rayman's species]] who appears in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] is unclear: he could be an impersonator, the same character reimagined or there could be no further connection between the two. | He is a [[Teensie|Teensy]] and, because of the lack of dialogue and intelligible storytelling in the game, his relationship to [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|the identically named member of Rayman's species]] who appears in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] is unclear: he could be an impersonator, the same character reimagined or there could be no further connection between the two. | ||

The Magician is first encountered at the beginning of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where he is found inside his distinctive top hat, which is sitting on the ground outside [[the Snoring Tree]]. Each time one of the players jumps on the hat, the Magician offers a few words of advice. The hat appears in many places throughout the game, and the players can jump on it at any time for tips relevant to their current situation. However, there are some hints at his darker side; he makes sarcastic comments, and has little concern for the heroes, beyond using them as a source of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]]. Sometimes he even questions [[Rayman]]'s position as a hero. | The Magician is first encountered at the beginning of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where he is found inside his distinctive top hat, which is sitting on the ground outside [[the Snoring Tree]].

Also on the wall is a diagram showing [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] being fed into a machine to produce electricity: it is revealed that the Magician has been using the [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] he collected from the heroes to power the creation of his mechanical empire, the [[Moody Clouds]]. At this moment, the Magician pulls a lever, causing the heroes to fall through a trap door, where they must fight mechanical recreations of the [[Carnivora]] and [[Mocking Bird]] bosses. Once these have been defeated, the heroes climb back to the office of the Magician, where he distracts them with a disco number (recalling the dances of [[Rayman 1|the original game]]'s bosses) before running away. The heroes must them pursue him through a storm of falling debris and broken machinery as the [[Moody Clouds]] itself begins to disintegrate. | Also on the wall is a diagram showing [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] being fed into a machine to produce electricity: it is revealed that the Magician has been using the [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] he collected from the heroes to power the creation of his mechanical empire, the [[Moody Clouds]].

Eventually the Magician hops on board an [[Warship|airship]], and the heroes must pursue him on the backs of their [[mosquito]] friends. Eventually the [[Warship|airship]] crashes into the fiery core of the [[Moody Clouds]], causing an enormous explosion. The heroes fall from the sky and land back at [[the Snoring Tree]], where the game began. The Magician's fate is unknown. | Eventually the Magician hops on board an [[Warship|airship]], and the heroes must pursue him on the backs of their [[giant mosquito]] friends.

{{ | {{Quote|text=I remember you... Ales Mansay, right? You stunk at magic. Did the other [[Teensie]]s tease you? No reason to lose your sense of humor... Hahaha...Gulp. Or is it...|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]'' (unused dialogue)}} | ||
An [[Rayman Origins (early production)|earlier version of the game's script]] was found amongst the files of the game's [[List of Rayman demos|demo]], and, while it follows the same general story, it also would have shed more light on certain aspects of the plot, and contains a large amount of dialogue that was removed from [[Rayman Origins|the final version of the game]]. In this [[Rayman Origins (early production)|scrapped scenario]], the Magician, real name Ales Mansay (which translates to "Salesman" in Pig Latin), was bullied and ostracised by the other [[Teensie]]s at magic school for his poor magical abilities. He secretly admired [[Mr Dark]], whom he wanted to emulate, and also developed a hatred for the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], whose nightmares had repeatedly overcome the [[Glade of Dreams]] and were a constant threat to its inhabitants. As a consequence, he concocted a plan, where he hid a microphone in [[the Snoring Tree]] so that the heroes' snoring would irritate and ultimately start a war with the [[Livid Dead]]. This microphone, disguised as a flower, can still be seen in the final game, in both the beginning and ending sequences. Throughout the game, the Magician pretended that he was still a friend of the heroes, allowing him to collect [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] from them in exchange for [[Electoon]]s which they could use to reach new levels. The Magician used these [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] to power his mechas: gigantic machines, including [[Mecha Carnivora]] and [[Mecha Mockingbird]], which he was building to take over the [[Glade of Dreams]], imposing order and eliminating the chaos of the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s nightmares. Eventually, however, the heroes reached the Magician's headquarters in the [[Moody Clouds]] and put a stop to his plans. | An [[Rayman Origins (early production)|earlier version of the game's script]] was found amongst the files of the game's [[List of Rayman demos|demo]], and, while it follows the same general story, it also would have shed more light on certain aspects of the plot, and contains a large amount of dialogue that was removed from [[Rayman Origins|the final version of the game]].
