SkekSil
From Freepedia
In the 1982 film, The Dark Crystal, skekSil is the Chamberlain of the Skeksi race. The Skeksis are the cruel rulers of the planet Thra, and the mirror images of the gentle and kind urRu. As Chamberlain, skekSil is second in line to the Skeksi throne.
Pre-production notes for the film describe the Chamberlain as resembling an overstuffed chair, with springs, sawdust, horsehair, webbing, sacking, and underfelt layered under a carapace of carved animal limbs and a collar like a headboard. In the book The World of the Dark Crystal, skekSil's personality is described as "smiling poison and suspicious craft". Other allusions ascribed to the Chamberlain are:
SkekSil's alter ego on the planet is the good and harmonious Chanter urSol of the urRu race.
