SkekSil

SkekSil is the Court Chamberlain. He's the Chief Secretary and the next in line to become the Emperor. He expected that his smiling poison and suspicious craft would help him to win the throne, but after losing the Trial by Stone, he is banished in disgrace. He has a wheedling voice all the other Skeksis loathe, especially skekUng, who hates him the most.

He has the loyalty of SkekEkt and SkekAyuk. Together with SkekSo, they made the largest, and therefore most successful, faction at the last enthonement.

SkekSil makes an appeareance at Legends of the Dark Crystal manga. In the 1st volume, he has a small part by spying on SkekSo and SkekVar.

His role is much larger in the 2nd volume as he tries to gain the Emperor's favor by trying to prove SkekLach's treachery against the Emperor. He sends out a small group of animals to spy on the Collector and they bring back information that SkekLach was stealing essence.

SkekSil then challenges SkekLach to Trial by Fire but loses to the Collector.

In Ultima, SkekSil was resurrected as a Heartless copy of his Skeksis self, since the original SkekSil has been reunified back into SilSol alongside UrSol. SkekSil now desires once more as a Heartless to kill both SkekUng and the Mad Doctor in order to become the new emperor of the Circle of the Blot.
