The General 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]]. In [[Tonic Trouble]] he does however appear as a member of an alien army, making it be believes that he is in fact a species from [[Tonic Trouble]], from which he shares many similarities, such as as his limblessness and purple skin. | The General has purple skin, a uniform with several badges pinned to it, and wears a hat which hides his eyes.

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 [[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 ''[[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 (2D 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 (2D prototype)|the now-cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']], along with other characters such as the Guard and [[Betilla the Fairy]].
