While all Skeksis were deceitful, dangerous creatures by nature, skekSil had honed his skills of manipulation to an artform. “This is what I do. Plant stories in ground, watch grow into truth.”
Having connived his way into a position of favour with the Emperor, the Chamberlain of the Skeksis enjoyed certain privileges and revelled in the prestige that came with having his monarch’s ear. When events contrived to threaten his position, skekSil was quick to act, weaving a web of suggestion and outright lies to entrap his rivals in the castle.
But when the rebel Gelfling Rian escapes the Castle of the Crystal and begins
spreading his seditious ideas among the seven tribes, the Chamberlain finds his
subtle council rejected by the Emperor. Desperate stakes call for harsher
measures, and the Emperor forcibly ejects skekSil, replacing him as his closest
advisor with the merciless General, skekVar.
skekSil cannot bear the humiliation of such public disgrace, but he buries his
impulse to seek vengeance immediately, choosing instead to lay the seeds of a
far more satisfying retribution to come…
