Personality
Skel has shown to drag his friends into his various schemes, whether to gain money or getting a girlfriend. This made him a target of his friend, Cid's wrath.

The kidnapping of Alexia Midgar

However, while Cid lost the bet, Alexia accepted the boy's offer and the two started a relationship much to Skel's jealousy. Alexia later reveals to Cid that she spoke to Skel and Po who told her about the bet.

During the day, Skel selfishly enters Cid's name to have him participate in the Senbatsu tournament earning a punch in the gut by the latter. The three then went to buy new chocolate from Mitsugoshi Co. While there, he tries and fails to impress a beautiful attendant who was only interested in Cid. Skel and Jaga would despair as the attendant took Cid to answer a questionnaire.

He tries to offer chocolate to a upper-class girl but his attempts cause her boyfriend to angrily take him away for a talk though the girl announced she was keeping the chocolate, to his dismay. Both Cid and

When the terrorists attack the academy and Cid was presumably killed, Skel cries in anguish over his friend. Later, he and Po are seen sleeping by Cid's bedside while his wounds were tended to.

God of War Tournament
Skel would later start gambling in hopes of amassing money but this backfires, leaving him broke and asking Cid for money for his gambling addiction. In the anime, Skel attempted to use Cid as leverage when debt collectors carried him away from the venue when Mundane man declined Annerose's offer to train her home country of Velgalta.

Skel would be last seen in the anime working off his gambling debt.

Trivia

 * Skel is voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka who also voiced Bell Cranel in the anime "Is It Wrong to Try to pick up Girls in a Dungeon?"
 * Skel has a gambling addiction, to amass large amounts of money by using Cid, Po, and the bets during The Bushin Festival, but is horrible at betting, choosing to places bets on ten matches at once (thinking that his battle scouter is perfect for future bets), instead of one at a time (causing him to be broke) and suffer from a gambling debt.
