In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the Magician is no longer a member of Rayman's species – like several other characters, he has been redesigned to better fit the world established in the ''Rayman'' sequels. The Magician is now a grey-haired [[Teensie]] who wears a purple shirt and a black coat. He still has his signature, star-adorned top hat, and can still be found hiding inside it in various levels.

===Personality===
The personality of the Magician had not been fully established in the first Rayman game. This was due to his low participation in the story and his mysterious nature in the game. However, his happy narrative and positive attitude denotes the Magician as being unconcerned despite any terrible event to happen in the Glade of Dreams, this could also mean that the Magician relies heavily on Rayman and his capabilities.
The Magician also appears to be somewhat introverted, usually hiding in his top hat, and only showing his face when doing business. This does not prevent him socialize with other creatures of the Glade, in the educational spin-offs the Magician clearly shows his  friendship with [[Betilla the fairy]].
In Rayman Origins, the Magician returns after several years of disappearance, and reveals to be a liar with great skill for manipulation. The Magician also has a greedy attitude, helping Rayman only in exchange for currency; this can be noticed since the first Rayman game, though it's more notable in Rayman Origins.
===Career===
According to a script found in the files of ''Rayman Origins'', the magician started his carrer at a young age in the school of magic. This event could have taken place chronologically during Rayman 1, when he was still benevolent.
The other students bullied him during that time due to his poor skills in magic. While maintaining the nickname "Magician", his real name, Ales Mansay (meaning Salesman in pig latin), left more clear his main purpose in the games, provide assistance in exchange for monetary assets. Finally, tempted by the other students, the Magician turned away from Rayman to become a fan of the evil Mr. Dark.
The magician also proved to be an expert in robotics during the end of ''Rayman Origins'', creating a robotic empire in the [[Moody Clouds]]. According to his intentions and the way he handled easily Rayman and his friends, the magician proves to be the only character who is completely intelligent in ''Rayman Origins''.
