**Race:** Undead Goblin **Affiliation:** [[Bonewick]] **Status:** Unknown (Presumed Active) **Overview:** Skab served as the quiet center of Bonewick. He spoke rarely, but his decisions were final. He was not elected, challenged, or formally recognized; he simply endured longer than the others, and memory became authority. Skab wore a plain, dark eyepatch over his left eye, identical in cut to those worn by the rest of Bonewick. Within Bonewick, the loss of an eye was not punishment or intimidation. It was tradition. Survival required sacrifice, and every member bore the mark. When [[Zeph Calderon]] was taken in, Skab refused to have the child maimed. Instead, he ordered an eyepatch made and told the others that the mark mattered more than the wound. Skab is the reason Zephrael lived. He chose concealment over conformity and never explained the decision. Zeph learned early that protection does not always come from compassion, sometimes it comes from someone deciding you are worth the inconvenience.
