'''The General,''' also known as '''the Grolgoth Salesman''', is a character who appears in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and is seen only once for a short period of time near the end of the game. He makes his appearance in [[the Buccaneer]] in a cinematic scene. He has purple skin, a uniform with badges pinned to it, wears a hat which hides his eyes. He is limbless, and appears to be of the same species as [[Rayman]] and the other characters from the original [[Rayman 1|''Rayman'']].

~~==Role~~ in ''Rayman 2''==

'''The General,''' also known as '''the Grolgoth Salesman''', is an unnamed minor character who appears in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and is seen only once for a short cutscene near the end of the game. He has purple skin, a uniform with several badges pinned to it, and wears a hat which hides his eyes. He is limbless, and appears to be of the same species as [[Rayman]] and the other characters from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. He is notable for also appearing in another [[Ubisoft]] game released around the same time as ''Rayman 2'', a game with which Rayman creator [[Michel Ancel]] was also involved: ''[[Tonic Trouble]]''.

He ~~sells~~ a machine called the [[Grolgoth]] to [[Admiral Razorbeard]] so that he can destroy [[Rayman]]. [[Razorbeard~~]] in return~~ gives ~~him~~ a massive pirate's chest full of gold.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', the General arrives on [[The Buccaneer]] in a small flying vehicle. 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 Razorbeard to ‘Decide quickly – I have other clients waiting’. 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 the PC version of ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'', the General appears in the intro cutscene. He instructs the protagonist Ed regarding his objectives in the game before a court at which he is being reprimanded for spilling the titular tonic.

An image of the General was shown in a promotional video for [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|the now-cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']], along with other characters such as the ‘pre-Henchman 800’ and [[Betilla the Fairy]]. This suggests that the General may have had a larger role at some point in the game's development.

~~==Trivia==~~

* The General appears in the intro cutscene of the PC version of ''[[Tonic Trouble]]''.

* An image of the General was shown in a promotional video for the now-cancelled [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|2D version of ''Rayman 2'']], suggesting that he may have had a larger role at some point in the game's development.
