Introduction
Seymour Skinner is the principal of Springfield Elementary School. He almost always is seen wearing a blue suit with a purple shirt and pink tie. He is a Vietnam War veteran, having obtained the rank of Sargeant, and frequently refers/has flashbacks to his experiences in the military as well as being held captive in a Vietcong POW camp. He considers [Bart Simpson| Bart]] to be his archnemesis.
In The Principal and the Pauper, it is revealed that Skinner is actually Armin Tanzarian, a no-good street thug from Capital City who met and befriended the real Seymour Skinner in the military. Believing the real Skinner to have been killed in combat in Vietnam, Tanzarian assumes the role of "Seymour Skinner" when he goes to Springfield to inform Seymour's mother Anges Skinner of Seymour's death. In the course of the episode it is revealed that Agnes knew all along that Armin was not her son, but for whatever reason played along and encouraged the charade. By the end of the episode, everyone decides they like Armin Tanzarian more than the real Seymour Skinner, so they tie the real Skinner up to a departing railroad car and declare they will never speak of "Armin Tanzarian" again.
