Overview

The Skulls are an enemy group in City of Heroes and City of Villains.

Founded by the Petrovic brothers(infomration is being gatherd on the two by both pcpd and hero organitions alike), the Skulls are a death worshiping cult thats initiation is a rather morbid afair. Recruits are orderd to kill a target in a rival gange (or a random person of the strret) and are then taken to chose their own casket. They then must dig up a grave and take the front of the dead victims skull as the mask that will make up their new 'face.'

They have a standard rank system; the Gravediggers are the basic street thugs, normaly armed with knives and guns that vary from hand pistols to automatics. above them are the Death Heads. They earn their rank through bloodshed and violence. They surve as the Gravediggers keepers and report directly to the groups bosses-the Bone Daddies. The Bone Daddies are hand picked by the Petrovic brothers them selves. They are put through a ritual that grants them powers over the negative energys of the netherworld.

History

Among the street ganges of Paragon City, the Skulls one of the worst. The Skulls have been at war with the Hellions over controle of Perez Park for quite some time. They controle the area known as the Boneyard and are always attempting to gain more territories.

Since the Rikti War, the Skulls have branched out to Kings Row. They are one of the main reasons why local Superadine rates are through the roof. Some evidence points to an exterior sorce helping them push their wears.

They are curently on good terms with the Trolls.

Enemy Types

Minions

The Skulls worship death in a very personal, creepy way. The Gravediggers are the gang's foot soldiers - wannabes who must prove their skill with knives and guns before they (literally) earn their bones.
