History
Skeg barges into Douglas Savile’s shack during a negotiation with Cedric Gray. Mistaking Cedric for someone Douglas intends to sell, he offers to find a buyer. Douglas stops him from touching Cedric, says he does not traffic in people, and throws Skeg across the room 34.
Skeg then recognizes Cedric and reveals a 50,000-Galleon black-market bounty for his capture alive and unharmed. When Douglas refuses to claim it, Skeg tries to seize Cedric himself. Cedric dodges and knocks him down with a slap 35.
After Cedric leaves, Douglas confronts Skeg. Skeg reminds him of help he gave when Douglas was down on his luck, but Douglas orders him out of Diagon Alley and warns him not to return. Skeg retreats when he sees an Auror nearby 36.
