Sketel was an Isitri male alive during the mid-23rd century. In 2270, Sketel informed Sa-Gahnesaam, the Odib ambassador to Isitra, that the Isitri Council had lied when they said that the "troublesome mind" Berlis Aknista had been neutralized. This information led Sa to tell the Odib fleet to destroy the Isitri and Sa to offer Sketel a chance to leave the planet with him. Sketel took this offer, but Berlis took control of the Isitri first and Sketel ended up killing Sa. (TOS novel: Troublesome Minds)
