Skull is a character from the Pirate S.T.C. story. Along with Fezhead, Skull is responsible for combing the television networks for suitable enemies to fight unwitting challengers in their game, plucked from their own living rooms. According to fact files throughout the story, Skull is a time-travelling, demonic, holographic, computer-generated skull who was programmed to search for "subjects" for Fezhead. His main "weakness" is his lack of skin complex and he secretly dresses as a human on days off.
History
Skull is first seen interfering with the advertising of Poodle Noodle, sucking up the actors before releasing them in someone else's living room. He then finds Sackhead, Flame, Bob, Grrrr and Dog and, noting that they have all the worst traits, swallows them and brings them inside their television. He soon convinces Fezhead to throw the challenges straight into the Mouth of the Mission, beginning their adventure. Skull is soon distracted by a commercial from M.C. Seagull Death but is soon brought back into focus by his master. However, he begins to watch a 'Blue Peter'-like programme and Fezhead has to call him to order once more. With the game getting more challenging, Skull encourages Fezhead to let the people fend for themselves, preferring to watch Avocado Mexican Bandit Punters instead.
Later, it's Skull's turn to alert Fezhead to the problems being faced within the video game. Fezhead sends Skull to recruit the Y Not Y-Fronts Man who he brainwashes and sends him into the mission. With the fight soon over, Skull accompanies Fezhead as he fires love spray throughout the level.
