SkekTal the Vault Keeper

Mystic Counterpart urRon [link]

The Greediest of all Skeksis at one time.

Prior to his moral corruption SkekTal was an Artisan, just like when he was an UrSkek(TalRon the Artisan). But contrary to his Mystic half, who only made his work only for art and the freedom of his creative soul, SkekTal did it only for the fame, the recognition & fortune. He could easily get frustrated if his works didn't came out well and would bash them to the wall.

As time went by, he began to make art out of gold and precious rocks. Later he began to crave for more of these and slowly he put his artisan self aside for greed and fortune.

As the Skeksis began to stored the stolen loots of the raids, SkekSo pointed SkekTal as the Vault Keeper, a job he couldn't bee any happier with. In charge of the Royal Vault, SkekTal made sure anyone had to pass through him in order to take any Skeksis to the vault, he also made charge to stay along in order to prevent any looting(which gave him the chance to steal some gold and precious diamonds while no one was looking). These is when he forged a financial alliance with SkekShod the Treasurer. The two were quite into the whole idea of taking the fortune for them. This goes on day by day for at least 3 years, SkekTal paid SkekShod for both his silence and cooperation. Eventually, SkekSo the Emperor, SkekAyion the Chancellor, SkekSil the Chamberlain, SkekLach the Collector & SkekVar the General noticed that a small amount of the Royal gold had disappeared. The 5 realized it had to be the Vault Keeper, so the Emperor ordered him arrested. Fearful that this might end into his tragic demise, the Treasurer ratted out the Vault Keeper. He presented the stolen gold as "evidence" of SkekTal's crime, alleging the following:

_SkekShod_
"I was too concern by the sudden disappearance of these amount of the Royal fortune, my Noble Lord !! So I went in my own investigation into the matter". "The Vault Keeper is guilty of these charges"

The enraged Vault Keeper attempts to kill the treacherous Treasurer, but his immediately slain by SkekVar the General, cutting his throat. SkekShod knew he avoided the same sentence, but SkekSo never again trusted him. He constantly had to keep an eye on him every time the Treasurer had to check the financial status of the empire.

Nobody steals from the Emperor.
