General Reginald Peter Skarr is the tritagonist of Evil Con Carne and a supporting antagonist in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
He was the right-hand general to evil genius Hector Con Carne. He also serves as the main antagonist of several episodes of the latter show.
He was voiced by Armin Shimerman, who also played Quark, Bractor and Letek in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Dr. Nefarious and his remake version in the Ratchet & Clank video games and 2016 film respectively, Professor Milo in Justice League Unlimited, Emperor Sun Hai and The Keeper in Jade Empire, Andrew Ryan in the BioShock video game series, Psycho-Pirate in Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Buttonwillow McButtonwillow in Regular Show.
Biography[]
After Evil Con Carne 's cancellation, Skarr eventually appeared on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, starting with the episode Skarred For Life. In that episode, a delivery boy comes to a ruined house to bring pizza and finds a horrible, wretched shell of a man lurking behind the door. The man, referring to himself as "It", insists on telling the man the story of how he became what he is now. In his story, General Skarr moves into the house after the previous owners are driven out of town by Billy, despite an old man telling him that the house is cursed.
Later, Skarr's home is visited by Billy, and inside Skarr shows Billy a hallway full of things from his days as Hector Con Carne's minion. He takes sadistic enthusiasm in describing his former ambitions of world domination, but insists that he is now retired. Billy is disgusted by Skarr's willingness to give up and calls him pathetic, showing Grim, tormenting children by summoning a demonic floating pig, to him as an example of a respectable and powerful villain, and tells Skarr that Grim's scythe gives him ultimate power. The temptation of stealing the Grim Reaper's scythe and using it as his own overcomes Skarr, and he brings out a giant robot he had on display to perform the task. However, the robot is extremely slow and impractical, as it does not even capture the attention of Grim (who is being forced to act like a little girl by Billy), so Skarr eventually just abandons it, swipes away Grim's scythe and runs back to his house with it. Inside his home, Skarr is confronted by Mandy, whose extremely dominating presence forces him to relinquish it to her, making him cry.
The man in the house finishes his story, just as the real Skarr, who is perfectly well, arrives back at his front door from a vacation and is upset to see his home in ruin. The man emerges from behind the door, and it is revealed that "It" is not Skarr but the insane old man who had earlier proclaimed the house to be cursed, whom Skarr had simply asked to watch his house for a few days.
Powers and abilities[]

Of the three members of the army, General Skarr was the most ambitious, conspiracy-minded, and passionate about world conquest. His rank of General allowed him to command Hector's troops and even take charge of the entire army if Hector was absent. However, despite this, he lacked real leadership experience (beyond giving simple orders), limiting himself to simply repeating the orders Hector gave to his soldiers.
He has been seen to be quite skilled with swords (having a collection of them) and turns out to be quite skilled at hiding and infiltrating enemy bases, but when it comes down to it, in combat Skarr always ends up being one of the first to receive blows and end up badly injured.
General Skarr is someone prone to receiving many blows and even different transformations, as seen in the episodes Devolver 1 and 2 where he transforms into multiple animals due to an invention of Dr. Ghastly and in Herbicidal Maniac he becomes a kind of elf that grants him great power with vegetation (it should be clarified that all these transformations were only momentary).
In Billy and Mandy, it is shown in several episodes dedicated to him that he is a great gardener (this being what matters most to him, even more than world domination), winning the award for best neighbor in Endsville for his garden.
Quotes[]
| “ | Billy: Why do you have all these doodads? Skarr: Believe it or not, I used to be a general in a fearsome, evil army. Billy: No way! Skarr: We caused quite a bit of havoc, we did. Billy: So why'd you move to this dump? Skarr: We got bought out by a big entertainment corporation. It seems they didn't want the competition for world domination. Billy: ...That story was so beautiful, it gave me gas. (farts) But don't you ever miss your old job? Skarr: Miss commanding regimented forces of destructive power as we encircled the globe with our terrible iron fists of might? Crushing down all of the pathetic fools who dared stand before us?! GORGING OUR BELLIES ON THEIR CRIES FOR MERCY?! UNTIL, AT LAST, I ALONE STAND AS THE GLORIOUS DARK LORD OF ALL THE KNOWN... UNIVEEEERSE!!!!! (panting) Not at all. Never miss it. |

Trivia[]
- In the episode Emotional Skarr, when he fantasizes about ruling the world himself, his symbol is his scar in a circle similar to how the swastika was positioned. He also was shown in the same fantasy having an eagle on his hat, positioned in the same way as the Nazi eagle symbol. However, this is only evident in one scene.
- The fantasy is also referenced in Anger Mismanagement, and if he was to think with cats, he would be thinking to use cats as slaves.
- According to the show's intro, he got his scar from running with scissors.
- Coincidentally, this is also how Hoss Delgado lost his own eye (as well as his arm and leg).
- General Skarr is an homage to Herr Starr from the Preacher series.
- Skarr's first name was revealed in the intro of Evil Con Carne, and first mentioned in Billy and Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure.
- He has appeared as an official character in more TV series than the characters from the rest of the franchise combined.
