SkekOk was the Skeksis' Scroll Keeper, and counterpart to urAc the Scribe. He was the shortest and least honest of all the Skeksis, distinguished by his habit of vacantly mumbling to himself and turning up late to all meetings. Although his primary loyalty lay with skekZok the Ritual Master and skekShod the Treasurer, he habitually changed allegiance, re-writing historical accounts to gratify his shifting allies to the point that the truth was soon lost. During skekSil the Chamberlain's rivalry against skekLach the Collector, skekOk overheard one of Chamberlain's plots, but did not intervene.

  • SkekOk is court Scroll Keeper for the race of Skeksis. SkekOk's mirror image amongst the Mystics is urAc the Scribe. The Scroll Keeper is the smallest of the Skeksis, a fact which gets him picked on and laughed at. Yet skekOk has his own power, he is able to rewrite the Skeksi histories to suit his allegiances and propaganda needs -- which he does. SkekOk's traditional loyalty is to the Ritual Master skekZok. The World of the Dark Crystal mentions that skekOk is the least honest of all the Skeksis. "SkekOk the Scroll-Keeper kept the record of the Skeksis; he was the smallest, finest-featured, least honest of them all. He wrote and rewrote his accounts, and kept changing them to please one or another of his shifting allies. The truth was soon lost." - The World of the Dark Crystal Known as the Historian in pre-production notes for the film, skekOk is also a kin to a professor, librarian or solicitor. His robe is described as "pleated, printed pages resembling a book...bookmarks may protrude from the robe, and his surcoat may resemble a green tooled leather cover with marbled flyleaves." However the most noticeable feature of the Scroll Keeper in the film are his eyeglasses. He can sometimes be seen taking notes when the Skeksis meet, despite the fact that he is known to arrive late. Early character plans focus on a two-sided personality of skekOk: "When head projects out of collar, he assumes an academic, pedantic tone. When head retreats into collar, he assumes other persona -- babbling, cackling, childlike, falls asleep like dormouse."
