Biography
Early life
Skutloid came from Neo Ares. At battle school, he and his peers played through the scenarios of the Gamalian Gambit, which his tutor called "Gamaliel's last stratagem". (PROSE: Dragons' Wrath)
Skutloid was transported to a commandeered Jarrard cruiser when he was a subaltern. During his glory days as a warrior, he met and befriended Irving Braxiatel and fought in the war during which the Medusa was launched. (PROSE: The Medusa Effect)
Retirement
Following his retirement, Skutloid became head of the Strategic Institute at St Oscar's University and was reunited with Braxiatel, who gave him such tasks as making stray cruisers disappear or supplying mercenaries for secret missions. (PROSE: Dragons' Wrath) Because of his expertise, he was one of the few outsiders to be invited to the Advanced Research Department where he befriended Maryann Decleiter. (PROSE: The Medusa Effect)
In 2593, Braxiatel invited Skutloid to his rooms to ask about what the Gamalian Gambit actually was, but he did not have an answer. If he did know what the gambit was, he said, he would have used it to take over that area of space. (PROSE: Dragons' Wrath)
