Background[]

Personality[]
Skelter is serious and no-nonsense, viewing individual freedom as the most important thing in the world for him, as his experiences in the Vietnam War changed his perceptions. He is very loyal to the Anarch cause and would become hostile to the Protagonist when he believed the player betrayed Nines.
Skelter is also very intelligent and knowledgeable, studying religion and the history of the Cainites. He views Malkavian insight as "creepy" and he doesn't trust ghouls. He appears to have a code of honor in which he won't kill a problematic ghoul just because he knew her master.
