* [[Action Survivor]]: The Chamberlain is a villain example. The SheksisSkeksis as a whole are depicted as lazy [[Upper Class Twit]]s, and the Chamberlain is more so than the others, being frail and gaunt, losing the test of strength against the General. Despite this, after being humiliated, stripped of his robes, and banished from the castle, he copes surprisingly well, not only surviving but managing to reclaim his position by capturing Kira.
* [[Adam and Eve Plot]]: Never directly addressed, but since Jen and Kira are the [[Last of His Kind|Last Of Their Kind]], it's pretty obvious.
* [[Age Without Youth]]: Applies to both the Mystics and Skeksis (though they're not technically immortal), but the Skeksis suffer a bit more from it, especially when you [[All There in the Manual|learn]] that they weren't originally evil, but rather represented the passionate, hedonistic side of the Urskek, and were rather pleasant to party with. Then they aged, for a thousand years.
