the Chamberlain
26
1SkekSil was the Skeksis' Chamberlain, and counterpart to urSol the Chanter. He was the Chief Secretary of State, and thus next in line to the Skeksis' throne after Emperor skekSo. Despite his position, he was despised by the other Skeksis for his wheedling voice and underhanded nature.
Ultimately seeking to claim the Skeksis throne, the Chamberlain was the originator of the plan to harvest Gelfling for their essence. Skeksil the Chamberlain wears a red robe with large red hump, and a black lace-filled collar and robe accents. His urRu counterpart is urSol the Chanter.
