Skygge Toskinson was born on Oansgard to a fairly less off family. However, his parents were proud to have him as their son and he grew up with a happy childhood. After showing potential at a young age, he was granted entry to the Oansgard Elemental Academy and quickly became one of their star students. It was here that he first encountered Her Royal Highness, Thaalamora Liannasdottir, Princess of Oansgard. Though talented, Skygge was a nerd and felt she was out of his league, despite his (and several other students') crush on her.

However, during one of the school's obligatory political classes, he managed to make an impression on her by effectively backing up her claims to her family's rule and the prosperity it would bring to Oansgard. She cornered him after class and Skygge shook the whole time, but eventually she decided she liked him and asked him out, to which he promptly said "yes".

Though they eventually broke up romantically, she kept him by her side due to both his talents as a Shadow Master and his overall intelligence, which she found useful. After graduating, Thaalamora sent him to Earth to learn more about the fabled Chaos Element, said to be more powerful there.

During that time, turmoil raged in Thaalamora's household as the debate was made about whether she or her younger brother, Halthor Ordanson would become the next ruler after their father passed. Skygge eventually found the Element and brought it back to Oansgard.

After he returned to Oansgard, Thaalamora saw an opportunity and made a plot with Skygge to stage a coup, to which his blind loyalty to her allowed him to agree. However, upon trying to use the Chaos Element in aid, the container failed and the Chaos Element bonded to Skygge's body, bleaching his skin and knocking him unconscious, as well as sending out a shock wave that drove Thaalamora into a fit of rage.

It was then that she went on the murderous rampage across the nation, wiping out all of the Oansgardians. Skygge woke and saw the carnage across his home planet and was driven totally mad.

Still retaining loyalty to Thaalamora (now calling herself Sinestress), he took the moniker Jester and after she told him that Halthor was responsible for driving her to that point, he believed her unquestionably and swore eternal vengeance upon him.

They have clashed several times, and on one occasion, when Grim Reaper offered them a deal in exchange for helping defeat Superion, Sinestress told Jester to double-cross him and Jester stole Grim Reaper's Celestial Cube, which he immediately took a strong liking to. Though it was eventually retaken, whenever Sinestress and Jester are separated, Jester always finds himself pursuing the Cube, with limited success. Once in possession of it, he is almost impossible to stop.

Vigilant in particular fears him, with or without the Cube, due to his blind loyalty and otherwise totally erratic and murderous nature. This has intrigued Jester and when Sinestress is making grand plans and has no use for him otherwise, she allows Jester to torment Vigilant mercilessly. One such occasion led to the near death of Krasnaya Zima, who was fighting alongside Vigilant against Jester for the first time. It is something Krasnaya Zima has never forgotten. Currently Jester is missing, but is no doubt with Sinestress, by her side as she plans her next big attack.

Oansgardian Physiology:

Due to his elemental submergence, Jester has gained beyond average advantages over normal Oansgardians as well as further exposure has tainted his physiology.

Cosmic Awareness: Jester has, at times, shown to be fully aware of being a comic book character, even directly talking to the reader. However, most characters ignore this, due to the fact that he is criminally insane.

Illusion Casting

Jester Chaos Immunity: Jester is immune to his own Element as well as various similar products (like toxins).

Omnilingual: Jester can speak and understand all languages.

Pain Resistance: It is speculated that the Jester's exposure to the Chaos Element may have heightened his resistance to pain. It is also implied that he is masochistic in nature, and thus enjoys any pain received, making it an ineffective way of dealing with him.

Regenerative Healing Factor

Sorcery - Superhuman Dense Tissue - Superhuman Durability - Superhuman Longevity - Superhuman Stamina - Superhuman Strength

Tainted Blood: Jester's blood is tainted. It has been said that "being an avid practitioner of his Element, Jester's immunity to products of chaos has been built up over years of dedicated use." When a mosquito sucks Jester's blood, it "writhes and dies, choking on tainted blood."

Chaos Elemental:

As Jester grows in experience and practice with the Chaos Element, it is uncertain what new powers he will develop. While his mastery of Shadow has already reached his limit, it seems that the Chaos Element has chosen him and there is no telling what this could mean in the future.
