When they can't bring themselves to kill their old friend, Vogt activates the bombs he planted in them to punish them for their failure. Van Vogt forcibly converts three of Joe/Cyborg 009's childhood friends into cyborgs and sends them out to murder him.

(Claus/Klaus, originally Director) Van Vogt (or Van Bogoot or Ban Bogart/Van Bogart), Skull's second-in-command, is a Black Ghost executive who poses as a businessman to cover his exploits.

Skull is ultimately someone with an utter disregard for human life, only caring about the sales of his weapons. His primary goal is to provoke another World War just so he can deal more arms and make more of a profit. Skull is also a user and abuser of his minions, and he will kill his underlings for reasons ranging from failing him to simply being of no more use to him. Skull later escalates the Muamban Civil War by dealing weapons to both sides of the strife, planning to expand the conflict into other countries simply so he can sell more weapons. As a way to show off Cyborg 0013's capabilities, Skull has the cyborg rampage across Tokyo, causing massive damage and endangering the lives of countless people all so he can create a spectacle for his investors. In order to complete Black Ghost's 'Cyborg Soldier' program, Skull sends his operatives across the world to kidnap people, taking them away from their families and friends so they can be forcibly experimented on. He and his men exploit ongoing wars as way to make money by selling their weapons to both sides.

Skull (or Skarle, Scar, Scarl, or Sekar) is the leader of the Black Ghost organization.

Angst? What Angst?: Cyborg 006 notably doesn't angst about his status as a cyborg.
