General Scales first appears in the game after Krystal boards his galleon and collects the Krazoa Palace Key. He appears later in a flash back of his ultimatum to the SnowHorn tribe, where he double crosses Belina Te by enslaving the tribe after she opens the gateway for him. Scales finally meets Fox at the CloudRunner Fortress where he interrogates the Queen CloudRunner concerning Fox's whereabouts, and takes Fox prisoner after his the Sentries restrain him. Fox later corners Scales in the treasure rooms to get the SpellStone but loses Scales after he uses a device on his belt to fade out and does not physically appear again until their last meeting.
