Skulk was a war hero and highly decorated officer in the 99th, the personal unit of [[Ygrid Ironborn]].

Skulk quickly aligned himself with Croak and Dagger, and forced Adam to give them the location of the real sword...then accidentally crushed Adam's skull afterwards. Skulk and his new friends chased down the shape-shifting Marco The Million-Faced Man and his crew of Carta Cartel smugglers. Skulk proved himself in the ensuing conflict, taking a bullet to the head and still able to hold the entire ship from sailing away. After the sword was retrieved, and the surviving Carta members where in chains, Skulk was going to be arrested for his role in the theft. But Croak and Dagger talked the city guard out of it, and recruited Skulk. He became an honorary member of the newly formed Croak and Dagger right then and there.

Skulk was the first recruited member of [[Croak and Dagger]]. He loyally fights alongside them whatever the adventure or conquest.

Having left his family behind to work to pay off their debt, Skulk was hired by the [[Carta Cartel]] to guard a blacksmith smuggler by the name of Adam who they had hired to steal King Alexius's family sword.

====Cataclysm====
During the events of Cataclysm, Skulk revealed his role in the Seven Year War and promised that he would vouch for Croak and Dagger during the talks with the Goliaths. When they reached [[Jotunrath]], Skulk was greeted with praise and distinguished salutes. There wasn't a single soldier at the Walls of Jotunrath that didn't know him. Skulk had returned to the lands he helped free so many years ago. He was reunited with his old leader, Ygrid, and was overfilled with joy to see that Runa had grown and married. Despite the grim reason for being there, Skulk was overjoyed to see his and his unnamed friend's efforts in the war had paid off. Skulk, like so many times before, had spoken highly of Croak and Dagger as selfless, efficient, sometimes goofy warriors. Skulk did not trust easily, so his word was all Ygrid needed to agree to speak with Croak and Dagger about the Goliath's aiding them in the coming fight against Caelrogh and his horde. Now, Skulk stands with axe in hand prepared to give his life for his new home, and new friends. If there was ever anyone you wanted in your corner, a good friend, a tenacious killing machine, it would be Skulk.
 
== Abilities ==
'''Relentless Rage.''' Skulk's temper was something fierce when he was a soldier. He would blindly throw himself at his enemies, even putting himself at great risk, if it meant getting his hands on the poor meatbag.
 
'''Unstoppable Force.''' Skulk's body is a tapestry of war and strife. He has never known the peace or fear of death, and knows only to continue forward, ever unrelenting, until the fight was done.
 
'''Ruthless Combatant.''' Skulk believes that only the dead know what fighting honorably means. Skulk will go to great lengths to achieve victory, even if it means ripping his opponents eyes out with his bare hands. If you come at Skulk, you better not miss.
 
== Relationships ==
 
'''Craig''' "''Skulk likes boss very much. He much better boss than Carta bosses, who very mean to Skulk. New boss not yell at Skulk when Skulk not understood things. He teach Skulk! Skulk likes new boss. Yes''."


'''Charles''' "''Crafty-Man's numbers and big words confuse Skulk. But Skulk like his exploding weapons and big guns. Yes''."
==Miscellaneous Facts==


'''Hildr''' "''Skulk think Big Goth Lady's stance can be improved. She put too much weight on back foot. Big Goth Lady hit hard, and yells like Skulk when angry! Skulk thinks he can teach her proper way to do war cry. Make enemies wet themselves. Yes''."
* Skulk was the very first NPC to be recruited by the party


'''K'jalis''' "''Skulk first friend! Most confusing friend. Skulk miss Puppet Man's puppets. He do funny voices like Skulk's. But now friends say first friend is evil? But Skulk not get that feeling. Skulk get feeling that first friend just have lot of hurt. That he try and find purpose like Skulk. Skulk gets that. Yes''."
* Skulk has the lowest intelligence of the entire guild, operating on minimal brainpower and maximum love and passion


'''Logan''' "''Skulk best party friend! Skulk and Fire-Head do much drinking and dancing together. Fire-Head teach Skulk how to relax and not yell so much. Only yell when happy, so Skulk yell often! Yes''."
