He created paints that bring characters who are painted, to life! He couldn`t control his own creations though, so he needed an accomplice. Whether this person would be aware of the evil that was done or not. Michael Demos was the person in question. Skir used his artworks to kill a museum curator he thought as his enemy.
Then he tried to have a man who put him to jail, killed. But Kid Eternity and Mr. Keeper stopped the painted figure that tried to commit the deed.
THEN, Skir tried to get rid of Demos. But Kid called forth John Hathorne. Who then, murdered Skir.
