Backstory:
Cloud Jumper was one of the most notorious pilots in Skylands — not because he was an amazing pilot, though. But rather because he was the worst. He never once landed a plane, always crashing them instead and somehow surviving each crash. He claimed it was due to his lucky rip cord and awesome white cape (It was not awesome).

One day he was flying over Trolltopia when a metal ball was launched from the city randomly crashing into his wing and downing his plane. He ejected himself and pulled the rip cord, the parachute didn't come out. He was stuck in a free fall towards Garish Gorge and there was nothing he could do.

Thinking quickly, he lashed out with his rip cord and lassoed in pieces from his wrecked plane as they fell beside him and shaped them into wings. Finally, he took his cape and tied it around the wings and attached them to his back. His ploy worked and he glided down to safety.

From then on he kept those wings handy in case his parachute never came out. He could also fly like a plane now without an actual plane, thanks to his wings. He found he crashed significantly less this way, which only helped his confidence — and ego. Deciding he was awesome enough to join the Skylanders, he contacted the Brain and joined the Shrink Squad. He then proceeded to argue with Flynn every day about who the better pilot was.

Personality:
Cloud Jumper is extremely confident and strongly believes he is one of the best pilots in Skylands. Most would describe him as an old timey Cap'n Flynn. Ironically, him and Flynn do not get along well, each citing the other as annoying.
