Skoran was a Barkonian blacksmith in the 24th century.

In 2370, Skoran purchased fragments of a crashed Federation deep space probe due to their unusual metallic properties from "Jayden". "Jayden" was an amnesiac Data, who was on a mission to retrieve the probe when he suffered memory loss from the radiation. Skoran fashioned jewelry out of the metal and distributed it widely within his village on Barkon IV. What Skoran did not know, however, was that the metal was radioactive and was causing radiation poisoning to spread within the village.

As more people became sick, Skoran blamed "Jayden" for the sickness. Skoran led a group of villagers that attacked and disabled Data just as he was placing an antidote to the poisoning in the town well. He failed to notice Jayden's true identity or his being transported back to the ship where he would be fixed.

In addition to his violent tendencies, Skoran was both a liar and a thief. He promised to pay twenty doraks for the metal fragments and then swore that he had only pledged fifteen. (TNG: "Thine Own Self")

Skoran was played by Michael G. Hagerty.

In the first draft script, he was named Kural.

His costume was later sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [1](X)
