SkekNa is a supporting antagonist in The Dark Crystal franchise. He is the Skeksis Slave Master, who oversees the work of enslaved Podlings at the castle, and his Mystic counterpart is UrNol the Herbalist. SkekNa's loyalty within the castle is to the brutish SkekUng.
He was performed by Mike Quinn, with the late David Buck providing his voice.
Appearance[]
SkekNa's clothes consist of a leather surcoat covered in metal clasps, chains, manacles and padlocks, and a shiny reptile skin robe. Distinguishing features of the Slave Master include an eyepatch covering his right eye and a left hooked artificial hand. However, in Power of the Dark Crystal, SkekNa is shown to be missing his eyepatch and artificial hook.
Personality[]
According to the novelization and The World of the Dark Crystal, SkekNa is described as being "purely and openly evil from the beginning" and having "no nobility at all". Along with SkekTek, SkekNa was part of a political faction loyal to SkekUng, whom they both supported in his feud with SkekSil. SkekSil himself held a low opinion of the Slave Master, considering him lacking in both nobility and imagination. When SkekUng ascended to the throne, he considered rewarding the Slave-Master's loyalty by appointing him to the newly created post of Patriarch, which would be a senior rank to that of both the Ritual-Master and the Chamberlain.
Biography[]
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance[]
SkekNa was mentioned by SkekZok on the idea of bringing the other Skeksis who were absent for help in battling against the Gelfling. The Slave Master was considered by the Ritual Master to be "useful in a fight" along with SkekSa the Mariner.
The Dark Crystal[]
SkekNa, like the other Skeksis, made short appearances throughout the movie up to the climax. The Slave Master would then be combined with his Mystic counterpart into the UrSkek NaNol.
