Skeletor of Masters of the Universe is a powerful black sorcerer. He used to work for the great empire of the Horde and even got to be the second-in-command of Commander Hordak, who led the Horde's invasion to planet Eternia. When the Horde got defeated and Hordak left the planet, Skeletor betrayed him and decided to stay. Since then he is leading his own campaign of conquest on the planet. He believes that if he manages to control Castle Greyskull's power he can create his own empire. He is very manipulative and cunning, but at times he resorts in using his physical strength against his opponents. He hates Hordak with a passion and has managed to defeat his former commander in any confrontation they happened to have. Skeletor is evil and cruel but has a soft spot for young children.
