Fictional Biography

Skeletor was originally known as Keldor^[2], brother of King Randor^[3], and uncle of Prince Adam^[4] aka He-Man. After feeling cheated from the throne by Randor, he would flee his home and raise an army to one day come back and conquer Eternos^[5]. When the time came for Keldor’s conquest, he found Randor and his forces awaiting him. During the battle Keldor’s face was severely burned by acid, and he was left on the verge of death. His partner, Evil-Lyn^[6] would plead with the extra dimensional being, Hordak^[7], to help save Keldor’s life. Hordak agreed but only under the condition that Keldor would later help him escape from his ethereal prison. Hordak then fused Keldor with the demonic Demo-Man^[8]. This drove Keldor insane, and he renamed himself Skeletor. Skeletor would then try many times to conquer Eternia^[9], but would fail everytime. Skeletor was responsible for kidnapping Prince Adam’s sister Princess Adora^[10] from the Eternos Palace and would offer her to Hordak. Princess Adora would later become She-Ra^[11]. Skeletor has had many clashes with He-Man, with nearly all of them ending in Skeletor’s defeat.
