Eskil, nicknamed Esk, is the son of Tandy and Smash, husband of Bria, and father of Brusque, Epoxy and Benzine. He has two possible children on Ptero, Briskil and Astrid. As a quarter ogre, Eskil can only become an ogre when he's angry, and then it's undependable. His talent is protesting, when Eskil says, "No!" he really means it, as the person told "no" has to stop what they were trying to do.
