Scaroth, also known as Count Carlos Scarlioni and Captain Tancredi, was the last of the Jagaroth and the saviour of his species. He was also the pilot of the Jagaroth ship that landed on Earth in prehistoric times.

Roughly 400 million years BC, a Jagaroth ship piloted by Scaroth landed on Earth. Despite his ship's advice, he launched at Warp 3; the ship exploded, and in its control cabin, Scaroth was splintered in time.

Twelve fragments of him were scattered across time, though they could communicate through telepathy. The explosion provided the radioactivity that the primordial ooze needed for the human race to exist. Throughout time, his selves pushed the human race forward — showing them fire, inventing the wheel, mapping the stars, and ordering the pyramids built — so that his twelfth self would have the technology to go back in time to the moment of take-off, preventing his splintering in time as well as the death of his race.

All of his selves, except for the Egyptian self, who appeared as a god on one occasion, disguised themselves as humans using a mask and skin into which he was able to fit himself. (TV: City of Death)
