Indeed, but that wasn't really the point I was addressing. I was merely saying that this was a character whose impact was sadly undermined by being resurrected needlessly, let alone repeatedly; and I note that I'm not the only nor the first one to say that. Compare for example with Sutekh, who even today stands among the all-time giants despite - or because - only appearing once. Granted, his legacy to the series as a whole isn't as important, but then he was never defined in that way.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
