“ | What a joke! You people can't "take care" of anything! Everyone here knows that the Aurum Alley Merchant Guild is as incompetent as it is dysfunctional. The lease for the docks isn't even paid yet — anyone care to guess whose fault that is...? | „ |

What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- He is introduced in Aurum Alley attempting to wrest control the place for his own business because he finds Mingxi's idea to restore Aurum Alley's prosperity were dysfunctional as Xianzhou merchant guild's incompetence. He denies that he made unfair demands and bets that the loser must apologize to the IPC and barks like a dog, much to Sushang's ire. 
- Later on, he tampers the Ingenium robots that causing damage to the other goods in the freight skiff. He still denies to Sushang that he bought the said ingenium to damage other goods. 
- When Sushang apologizes once a while, he smugly tells her that a single apology isn't enough, playing Sushang and everyone as a fool.
- Needless to say, him ended up barking after his failure is a catharsis to the audience and in-universe characters.
- In Finest Duel Under the Pristine Blue (I), Skott's cargo was inspected by the Xianzhou Luofu authorities after his freight skiff was attacked by the Borisins. The said cargo contains a dangerous product, which is a Borisin-like robot, Howling Casket. After Lingsha arrives on scene to inspect the cargo, the Howling Casket suddenly became active and attacks the Luofu authorities. Skott was suspected of shipping dangerous weapon thereafter because he left the said weapon unchecked, but he denies it and try to shift the blame on someone else. He was taken to the Sky-Faring Commission after that because of his infuriating attitude towards the Luofu authorities.
- The event story quest, Way of Primaveral Blade has him complaining and berates Mengming, owner of Sleepless Earl for the tea's "Bad quality", much to March 7th's offense. He then makes a bet with March 7th to accept the duel with him and give her a training time in 15 days and smugly tells she'll squeal like a pig if she lost. Predictably, the endings have him humiliated in 5 ways.
- Swordspar: March 7th defeats Skott's IPC Team normally with her sword tricks, humiliating Skott to make him deprecates IPC Mechs being total joke and squealing like a pig.
- Cleanse: After Tail manages to remove Skott's twisted desires to become a "lone wolf", he became a wolf, literally after Tail alters his personality, and starts barking and biting his IPC officers. 
- Rhetoric: Qingque manages to talk Skott down for not taking a day off for once because of his workaholism. Resulting Skott, being a hopeless workaholic, having a mental breakdown why he can't comprehend Qingque's easygoing lifestyle.
- Release: Skott's IPC Team offered a soup with spicy sedative. While Skott manages to hold diarrhea when fighting March 7th until he succumbs to it while the IPC team instantly retreating
- Seizure: Silver Wolf hacks into an IPC account of Skott and make him squealling like a pig in Soulglad theme song. She also exposes Skott's secret, such as an erotic human-robot romance adult novel. Resulting Skott ignores his team's priorities to catch Silver Wolf, one of the Stellaron Hunter for bounty.
- Skott's backstory has him being raised by an emotionally abusive father to raise him as an unscrupulous yet crafty jerk as possible. By betraying anyone who have provided him support and even his own father, he joined the IPC where he can get a promotion non-stop. He also betrays his intellitron girlfriend in his IPC career, making him a much more detestable person he is nowadays.
- As much as detestable he is, Skott, complete with his shades, may look like an intimidating person, but actually is a weakling despite having piloted an IPC Senior mech because he likes to harass those weaker than him.
- Skott made an appearance in Fugue's character trailer complaining about his new shoes to a young Foxian shoe vendor that he can't walk straight so he demands a costly compensation. This minor offense lead to Fugue set a fire on his pants, scaring him and the IPC goons.
