![]() During the Emperor's last days of life, skekSil constantly made reference to his executive position by bringing scrolls and administrative papers to the Emperor's death bed, despite knowing that skekSo was in no position to attend to them, and even attempted to grab the Scepter of Office from the unconscious, yet still living Emperor. To bolster his position, he formed a political alliance consisting of skekEkt the Ornamentalist and skekOk the Scroll Keeper. ![]() Several trine after the Garthim War, skekSil saw skekSo's final days as an opportunity to ascend to the throne but found opposition in skekVar's replacement, skekUng the Garthim Master. SkekSil and skekUng engage each other in Trial by Stone. Wounded and alone in retreat, skekSil secretly killed skekVar to regain his position as skekSo's counselor. Though they were forced to retreat after the battle, skekSil's denial of essence to skekVar successfully weakened him to the point of suffering a humiliating defeat by Rian. However, later providing an Arathim corpse for skekTek's use in the creation of the Garthim, skekSil conducted a scheme to win skekVar's trust as he convinced the Emperor to attack the forming rebellion, while at the same time sabotaging skekVar's essence vials. SkekSil during the Second Battle of Stone-in-the-Woodĭriven out of Stone-in-the-Wood village by the Gelflings, skekSil learned from skekAyuk the Gourmand that skekVar murdered All-Maudra Mayrin and was astonished that the Skeksis were actually jubilant of no longer needing to maintain appearances as they captured the Crystal Guards and took their essence. On the way back to the Castle of the Crystal, skekSil attempted to deter Rian from escaping by justifying Mira's death and explaining that Rian could doom all Gelfling, before Rian was rescued and skekSil was forced to return on foot. After promising to return Rian to skekMal once finished with him, skekSil destroyed the evidence of Mira's draining by drinking the contents of the stolen vial. In response, he recruited skekMal the Hunter to retrieve Rian and regain his position. SkekSo gradually wearied of the Chamberlain's calls for moderation in harvesting Gelfling essence, and entrusted his former position to skekVar. SkekSil then thwarted skekTek's attempt to out him out for the vial's loss by weaving a tale of half-truths so that the Scientist would be punished instead, later giving him a pair of Gruenak slaves as compensation. Although Rian evaded capture, skekSil managed to detain Gurjin. In the ensuing argument, Rian and Gurjin took the vial and attempted to escape. He later infiltrated skekTek's laboratory to steal the remaining essence, but was discovered. SkekSil continued to curry the Emperor's favor, advising him to frame Rian for Mira's murder, undermining skekVar's suggestions for a more aggressive approach. When the Skeksis realised that Rian witnessed their deed, skekSil assured Emperor skekSo that the Gelfling would not believe him. The Castle Guard Mira was selected for the experiment and subsequently had her essence drained and consumed by skekSil and his comrades. SkekSil convinces skekTek to drain Gelflings of their essenceĪfter receiving no rejuvenation from the Dark Crystal, skekSil advised skekTek to use its rays to extract the essence from other lifeforms and make an elixir from it. 4.2 The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.He was eventually killed in Mithra after the Crystal was restored once again, and lived on with his urRu counterpart in spirit form within the Prism. He returned a century later during the Age of Power in pursuit of Thurma and Kensho, hoping to take the crystal shard they had stolen and use it to gain power over his comrades. ![]() He attempted to regain his position by capturing Jen and Kira, the last Gelfling, but his efforts resulted in the two healing the Crystal and merging the Skeksis and urRu into the urSkeks. ![]() Ultimately seeking to claim the Skeksis throne, the Chamberlain was the originator of the plan to harvest Gelfling for their essence, as well as being the first to propose the creation of the Garthim, leading to the collapse of the Alliance of the Crystal, the formation of the Gelfling resistance and the outbreak of the Garthim War.Īfter the death of skekSo, he was banished from the Castle of the Crystal after a failed succession dispute with skekUng. Despite his position, he was despised by the other Skeksis for his wheedling voice and underhanded nature. He was the Chief Secretary of State, and thus next in line to the Skeksis' throne after Emperor skekSo. SkekSil was the Skeksis' Chamberlain, and counterpart to urSol the Chanter.
