Skito has a well-earned reputation as "The Sly One"; he is a treacherous sneak, with a vampire's taste for blood. He's vicious, cunning and clever, with no loyalties save to himself. The sound of his low, chilling laughter is often heard as he commands his fellow mercenaries: savage, misfit pirate-guerillas. In combat, Skito favors the rapier — a single stalk of Skall honed to a lethal, piercing point.

Toxcid, Skito's telebonded arachnoid, is capable of firing a corrosive stream of venom from his snout…killing a Sectaur warrior in a matter of seconds. Having eight legs, he moves quickly and silently. He easily sneaks up on his victims and, when possible, always attacks from the rear.

Skito enjoys mistreating Toxcid, delights in the low intelligence of his companion — when Toxcid misunderstands Skito's commands, his master unleashes a torrent of humiliation. Although the tormented Toxcid is thoroughly miserable with his lot in life, he fears his master too much to ever consider turning on Skito.
