Character Outline
Skull before and after he turned into an Arcobaleno
Skull is the holder of the Purple Pacifier. Head of the Combat forces of the Calcassa Family, Skull wears a full leather outfit and a motorcycle Helmet, which is copied by all his subordinates. His pet is a giant Armored Octopus whose tentacles follow his hand and finger movements. He is implied to be not as powerful of an Infant as Reborn and Colonnello, whom he calls his senpais, and is looked down upon and ridiculed by the two. Reborn considers Skull as being someone's errand boy, and Skull, to his dismay, does not deny the fact that the only person he was an errand boy to was Reborn. In the anime, it is known that his job was a stuntman; he also gained the nickname " Skull from Hell."

During the Arcobaleno Trials, Skull is second to test Tsuna. He hired Viper to turn into Tsuna and get Hibari and Mukuro angry and challenge him. Tsuna used X-Burner to defeat Skull's Armored Octopus. After his defeat, he tried to run away however, he was beaten by Reborn and Colonello because he insulted them. He later helps out in the fight against Verde, though his ship is easily destroyed by Box Weapons mistakened for missles. He is captured along with the other Arcobaleno, though his helmet protects him from the radiation similiar to the Anti-Tri-Ni-Set until Verde removes it.
Inheritance Succession Arc
Skull paired with Kyoya Hibari
Skull and the other Arcobaleno are called by Reborn to train Tsuna and the others. He is paired up with Hibari, as the both have the Cloud Flames. Hibari is shown to intimidate Skull, and Skull is shown to irritate Hibari, creating a caustic relationship. Later, at a meeting of the Arcobaleno tutors, he tries to tell of his training with Hibari, but is interrupted by Reborn before he can do so since Reborn knew that he afraid of Hibari.
Afterwards, while Hibari was sleeping on the school's rooftop, Skull approaches him after finally finding him. He starts boosting about him being Hibari's tutor and there will be nothing he has to worry about. Although he is easily frightened by a demand Hibari made but once realizing that he was suppose to be the one giving out demands, he decided not to obey him. Annoyed by this, Hibari stood up and threatened to bite him to death, causing Skull to run away.
After Yamamoto, Lambo and Godukera had taken the test, Alaude appears and tells Hibari that he is not interested in fighting with Hibari as he is too weak. Upon hearing this, Hibari lost interest in taking the test and walks away. Alaude tells Hibari that he shall deem him his inheritance if he demonstrates his value as the Cloud Guardian by today and disappears. Skull overhears the conversation and tells reborn. Reborn tells Skull to do something as he is Hibari's tutor. Skull then interrupts Ryohei and Hibari's fight with an airship, threatening that he will fire the cannons at him if he refuse to take the test. Hibari pierced the airship with his porcupine box weapon and the airstrip is going to crash into Namimori Middle School

Weapons
Armored Octopus (at the right)
Armored Muscle Body
- Armored Octopus - Skull has a Giant Armored Octopus as his Animal Partner and uses it for a majority of his combat by controlling it with specific finger movements.
- Purifying Helmet - In Episode 151, during the Arcobaleno Trials when Verde, in an attempt to kidnap the Arcobaleno, tried to use a mineral with properties similar to the Anti-Tri-Ni-Set radiation, Skull was seemingly unaffected. It was then shown by Verde that Skull's Helmet that he is commonly seen wearing as a baby has Purification Abilities.
- Armored Muscle Body - In Episode 152, Skull shows his special Ability. He gains a large amount of muscle, though he stays the same size. While under it's effects, Skull seems to be impervious to all damage, to the point where being knocked into a stone hard enough to shatter it doesn't phase him. He can also be hit by a powered up Box Weapon several times and only be mildly annoyed afterwards.
