In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the General arrives at the ''[[Buccaneer]]'' in a small flying vehicle, where he is referred to as ‘a very special guest’. He attempts to sell a machine called the [[Grolgoth]] to [[Admiral Razorbeard]] so that he can destroy [[Rayman]], telling [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] to ‘Decide quickly – I have other clients waiting’. [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] gives the General a massive pirate's chest full of gold and dismisses him. The [[Grolgoth]] he sold goes on to become the final boss of the game. | In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the General arrives at the ''[[Buccaneer]]'' in a small flying vehicle, where he is referred to as ‘a very special guest’.

An image of a character with a very similar appearance to the General, named the Chief, was shown in a promotional video for [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the now-cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']], along with other characters such as the Guard and [[Betilla]] the Fairy. Another image of him was printed in a magazine containing a brief article on the then-upcoming game, showing him in a prominent position. Another piece of artwork shows [[Rayman]] sneaking up on him as he stands atop a wrecking ball like [[Count Razoff]], while smoking his cigar and apparently shouting orders to his servants. | An image of a character with a very similar appearance to the General, named the Chief, was shown in a promotional video for [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the now-cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']], along with other characters such as the [[Guard]] and [[Betilla]] the Fairy.
