History: Skippy was born in northern Ontario and worked with his father and four older brothers in the family's garage fixing air scouters and Zeppelins. When Skippy was 17, still too young to be recruited into the military, his brothers and father were all drafted into the Nazi party's military. While his family was away Skippy ran the garage by himself and quickly became an expert mechanic who could diagnose any problem a Zeppelin or air scouter has and fix it easily. During their service in the Nazi military all five of his family members were killed in a suicidal assault on an allied stronghold in the far north. Skippy blames both the allies and the Nazis for his family's deaths and refuses to take any part in the struggle, instead he travels around on his personal air scouter and offers his services to any pirates he finds. He still maintains ownership of his family's garage to this day and offers it as a safe haven for pirates that he feels are worthy of his help.

Other: He has an extremely smart pet ferret named Diesel that he carries everywhere on his shoulders. Diesel acts as Skippy's assistant and brings him tools or anything else he asks for. When riding on his air scouter Diesel rides along in Skippy's lap, if they are going slow enough. If they are going too fast Diesel rides inside a small cubby built into the scouter.
