Born on a Koros-Strohna during the decades before the Yuuzhan Vong War, Cek Skell was born into the Warrior caste and fought with honor during the conflict. Following the war's conclusion and the Yuuzhan Vong recolonization to Zonama Sekot, Skell's popularity among his fellow warriors lead to him being made Supreme Overlord at a very young age (by Yuuzhan Vong standards at least). Skell's last act was to throw himself upon Ki, shielding him from a secondary explosion, at a cost of his own life.
