SkekTek

SkekTek is a Skeksis and an antagonist in the The Dark Crystal franchise.
In The Dark Crystal, he was puppeteered and voiced by Steve Whitmire. In Age of Resistance, he was voiced by Mark Hamill and puppeteered by Olly Taylor
==Background==
SkekTek was once the UrSkek, TekTih, but he and his Mystic counterpart, UrTih, were separated, forming the Mystic and the Skeksis. SkekTek took over the lab he used when he was once TekTih and began experimenting on the Dark Crystal. 
===Personality===
SkekTek considered himself a genius, as well as a master of life and death. Aware that he was the weakest among his kind, skekTek usually humbled himself before his comrades, while secretly hoping to win their respect through his work. In truth, however, the others feared him because they understood nothing of his work, and were disturbed by his acts of self mutilation in pursuit of knowledge.
The abuse and mockery he received from his comrades left him with a persecution complex and violent temper. Unable to express his anger to the other Skeksis, skekTek vented it on the castle's servants. The only creature skekTek showed affection to was a small birdlike laboratory animal he referred to as a friend. To his fellow Skeksis, he typically expressed his frustration by peppering his utterances with overly technical jargon, which he knew his comrades would struggle to understand.
SkekTek was once friends with Aughra, having helped build her observatory while Aughra showed him the secrets of Thra. Aughra later dismissed skekTek's power of thought as an attempt to re-decipher the confused knowledge inherited from his urSkek incarnation. SkekTek partially regretted ending his friendship with Aughra as she was the only immortal who shared his interest, but begrudgingly cut ties with Aughra to maintain skekSo's favor.
