The skeleton hero can be found in the Ancient Cavern, which is accessible from the Baxtorian Falls after progressing the firemaking section of Barbarian Training.

The hero can appear when a player rummages a skeleton lying on the ground and, after rising, will attack the player.

Like other undead, they are susceptible to the effects of the salve amulet and its variants, as well as the Crumble Undead spell.
