The Skull is a minor antagonist in Scarface and Scarface - The World Is Yours. He was portrayed by Mexican American actor Geno Silva.

Scarface

The Skull was a Capo in the Bolivian Cartel. He gets his nicknamed from his gaunt face, and his large circular dark sunglasses giving his face the appearance of a skull. He is also one of Alejandro Sosa’s top hitmen.

He is first seen standing in the background where Omar Suarez arranges a meeting with Sosa in Bolivia, when fellow cartel member, Alberto the Shadow, informs their boss that Omar was an informer for the New York Police Department. The Skull and Alberto take Omar to a helicopter where he is supposed to be taken back to Miami, but is instead murdered by the Skull himself by hanging him from the helicopter.

During the raid on Tony’s Mansion, the Skull is apparently the leader of the hit squad sent by Sosa to kill Tony. He kills Nick the Pig by shooting him in the head with a 12-gauge doubled-barrel Zabala shotgun. As Tony montana fought the hit squad inside the mansion, the Skull snuck into Tony's office by climbing up a grapple rope to Tony's second floor balcony office, which was left by another assassin who killed Gina Montana. The Skull murders Tony by shooting him in the spine with a single shot from his shotgun. Afterwards he walks down the stairs amid the carnage of the climactic gun battle. Its most likely he goes back to Bolivia with the rest of the surviving team and reports the successful assassination to Sosa.

Scarface: The World Is Yours

The Skull makes a brief appearance in the quasi sequel game Scarface: The World Is Yours, where like in the film he tries to sneak behind Tony and kill him. If the player stays still, the Skull will kill Tony which reminiscences the ending of the movie, however the player must kill him in order to proceed into the game's story line. This time, he uses a Pump-action Shotgun instead of a Double Barrel.

Characters killed by The Skull

• Omar Suarez - Hanged from a helicopter for being an informer of the New York police.
• Nick the Pig - Shot in the back of the head (off-screen) with a shotgun for protecting Tony.

Trivia

• The Skull has been compared by some fans to T-800 from the Terminator film series, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, as they have several similarities, namely their dark attire habit of wearing sunglasses all the time (even at night), usage of a shotgun as the preferred weapon and cold emotionless demeanor.
• It should be noted that Scarface premiered almost two years before the first Terminator movie.
