Description
Rework on skekLach.
Spoilers Ahead on Age of Resistance skekLach.
skekLach was the Skeksis Collector and counterpart of urSen the Monk, and was the 2nd known female Skeksis after skekSa the Mariner. skekLach was in charge to collect the tightens of the Gelflings Clans every thrine, along with skekOk the Scroll Keeper. She had a jaded persona, never finding any form of enthusiasm unless someone was harm, though she was not the instigator of said harm just a bystander. skekLach was much shorter than the Scroll Keeper and was recognizable for her grotesque pustules and allergy problems, always speaking in wheezing and hacking voice.
During the battle of Stone in the Wood, skekLach was killed when Deet redirected the Darkening attack from the Emperor's staff, her head exploding in a pile of Puss. When the Skeksis return to the Castle, both skekOk and skekEkt were deeply affected by her death and mourned her.
skekLach was first introduced in Legends of the Dark Crystal, and his design and personality where very different: plotting to steal essence from the Emperor while extorting the Scientist as well dealing with the power hungry Chamberlain's attempts to defeat him. He was more menacing looking and had a mechanical left arm, a scar and a glass eye, his position of Collector was more different since he was in charge of the Garthim Raids along with skekUng to collect prisoners and their treasures some of which he collected.

Hmmm it sounds like the old collector had a lot more going for them story and personality wise. Visually though Iβm conflicted I think the whole postil snot effect they gave in the show was disgustingly brilliant but they didnβt have that many moments to shine in the show. Old collector sounds interesting but also like he has a mix of traits that a bunch of other skeksis already have like having a robotic arm/one eye being skekteks thing, Iβve also seen them wearing skulls in some renditions like skekmal does now. Im really not Β sure about this character. Overall I do enjoy their concept but Iβm not sure which direction I prefer

All of these have been really great so far. Sorry that I have not really commented on any of them. Things are...odd around here right now lol! But I really am stoked to finally get a chance to sit down and watch this series. Unfortunately I clicked on a "The Hunt Must End" clip on Youtube (thinking it was a trailer)...so that was spoiled lol!

He is voice by Awkwafina, I don't think there is a reference of Gender the character as the other Skeksis (although they are all Genderless).

He should invest in some acne cream.

I did. All of his pustules ruptured simultaneously and he exploded into a puddle of ooze.
He should have invested in that cream, or his death wouldn't have had as much ooze

A very different approach from Heidi Arnold's design:

I assume licensing issues with the design.
