"THE WAR CRIMINAL OF SCORPIO―KILLING RELUCTANTLY, SKULL PYON."

Skull Pyon


Skull Pyon (スカル・ピョン, Sukaru Pyon), real name unknown, is an antagonist of Zodiac War. They are the War Criminal of Scorpio (『(さそり)』の戦犯(せんぱん), "Sasori" no Senpan), part of the war criminals of the twelve western zodiac signs[1].

Personality[]

Despite their intimidating appearance and reputation, Skull Pyon is a surprisingly talkative individual, introducing themselves the moment they sense themselves being mentioned during the negotiations, and chatting away in a casual manner with their partners, Muppet Bottle and Unsun Sajitari, during the battles, showing wit with their retorts[2]. They imply that they have no human emotions left, telling Muppet Bottle that they're jealous that he is still capable of crying[3]. Even so, they still hate war, so much so that they are willing to give their own life, all for the sake of eradicating it[4]. They speak in a strange tone, described as a "circular voice", as if to mask their identity[5].

Appearance[]

Skull Pyon's true appearance, and even their gender, is unknown. They appear to be a slim and androgynous individual, and their body is covered by their signature outfit, described as a black enamel suit; a black skin-tight outfit which covers their whole body aside from the shoulders and the left arm, featuring four spikes on both of the lower legs and a large scorpion tail protruding from their back. Additionally, they wear black shoulder plates (larger on the right side), a black chest plate and black wrist guards resembling a scorpion's exoskeleton, as well as a black piece of fabric around their neck. Their face is covered by a peculiar black helmet with red accents, featuring five circular visors, two horns extending from the back of the head and an opening on the top, designed to look like an opened cranium with the brain on display.

Background[]

The details of Skull Pyon's past are unknown. They are known among warriors as a legendary assassin responsible for taking out many important figures, and according to Sharyuu's estimation, it's possible that not even the wish earned from winning the Zodiac War would be enough to spare Skull Pyon from the death sentence, or even lessen their charges[5].

Abilities & Equipment[]

  • Assassination Techniques: As a legendary infamous assassin, Skull Pyon is well-versed in assassination techniques. Even so, they are self-admittedly unable to actually fight, capable only of stealthily killing their enemies. As such, when they have to battle, they act as a diversion while their partner stages the actual attack[3].
