General Skouros was Iolaus' father. He was the son of Leandra. Because he was often away at war, he and Iolaus grew to have a strained relationship which was not repaired until Iolaus died for one day and met Skouros in the Underworld. (HTLJ "Not Fade Away") Later, when Gilgamesh killed Iolaus, Dahak used an image of Skouros to tempt Iolaus into becoming one with him. (HTLJ "Redemption")
