The cruel alien captain was first seen when Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black) was handed to him as a prisoner. The costume is constructed from faux-leather, with fibreglass chest armour, polyurethane arm armour, additional armour created in fabric-covered Plastazote, and long chains made from individually cast plastic discs. Loin cloths made from faux-leather, synthetic material and Plastazote are present on the front and rear. A pair of Plastazote boots, with platform soles for added height, completes the main costume. The armour is finished in black and faux-gold, with red streaks painted on the chains at the rear. Also included is an intricately sculpted prosthetic head. The head is made of foam latex and features the familiar Scarran scowl, with pointed teeth sculpted into the alien's mouth. The mask is finished in grey, and the teeth are finished in an off-white paint.

The costume's boots, gloves and uniform are marked 'Ian', while the foam latex bracers are marked 'Taris'. Complementing the lot is a Scarran Security rifle – a long cylindrical futuristic weapon constructed from wood and painted metallic grey with green hues. It has a leather wrist strap, foam padding on the handle, a resin hand guard and a plastic barrel shroud.

Due to the age of the piece, there is some deterioration to the mask, including some tears and flaking. However, the foam latex remains mostly supple, and overall the set is in very good condition.

This costume was originally auctioned by the Jim Henson Company in 2006 and a Jim Henson Company certificate of authenticity accompanies the set.

Dimensions for the costume display are 52 cm x 60 cm x 210 cm (20 ½" x 24" x 83"); Dimensions for the weapon are 63 cm x 13 cm x 10 cm (24 ¾" x 5 ¼" x 4").
