Skoda

Skoda (real name: Jake), is a minor antagonist in the Alex Rider novel Point Blanc.

Biography
Skoda is a drug dealer. He once went to Brookland School in Chelsea in South London but then he got into crime. For a laugh Skoda chose to have his base of crime right next to a police station because it amused him. He was much like Jack the Ripper, thinking the police were fools.

One day, Alex Rider saw Skoda (named after his car make) zoom off after selling drugs to one of his previous friends. Knowing the reason the school was going down, Alex cycled down after Skoda, following the man home to his river boat. The houseboat and a construction yard in the distance gave Alex an idea, so he anchored the boat down to the bank and he pulled up the boat with the crane hook, scaring Skoda and his henchman Mike Bennett. Skoda and Bennett tried to climb out but were trapped, and Alex was intending to lower the boat outside a police carpark, but unfortunately, the weight was too much for the crane so the boat, with the men inside, fell off and hit the conference center of the town hall where the police chief and officials were giving an anti-drug speech. Ironically, the boat with the two drug dealers smashed down into the middle of the conference and alarmed everyone.

After being in hospital, Skoda was arrested.
