HHhhhmmmmm!
Greetings, friends! It is good to see you! Please, let me introduce myself, please! Am skekSil, the Skeksis Chamberlain, second in line to throne behind Emperor skekSo. Throne is my right. skekSil best fit to rule, skekSil the smartest and wisest, shall be Emperor one day! Ruler of Thra, first Lord of the Dark Crystal, yes!
For a long time, Skeksis ruled Gelflings fairly, Geflings served us, skekSil made sure they stayed divided. Until Skeksis discovered Gelfling essence the Crystal drained for us. skekSil first had the idea to use it! HHhhhmmmmm! Harvesting Gelfling essence, yes, Skeksis needed it to survive. But Gelflings stubborn, Gelflings did not listen and rebelled. Garthim crushed them! Then, no more essence…
skekSil tried taking the throne after skekSo died... My rightful seat! HHhhhmmmmm! Challenged skekUng the Garthim Master to Trial by Stone, yes. But skekSil made a mistake... Garthim Master was too strong, and cast skekSil out. But skekSil knew what to do, yes. Finding the last Gelflings before Garthim do, and skekSil shall be Chamberlain again! HHhhhmmmmm!
Tropes applying to skekSil, yes! HHhhhmmmmm!
- Berserk Button: Out of my spot!! skekSil is rightful advisor to the Emperor! No one else! Will suffer not any Skeksis who try to take this from Chamberlain! skekVar learned this the hard way...hhhhmmmmm!
