Who is Scut Farkas from Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories and what is their importance?

Appears in Scut Farkas and the Murderous Mariah - The character of the playground bully at Warren G. Harding school is further defined. He is a master top spinner, being the owner of a top that some say is not a toy, but something more like a weapon. Farkas carries the top around in his back pocket and brings it out only in anger. Called the Mariah, the top is known for over fifty kills, where Farkas will spin his top, releasing it in a murderous throw, usually splitting his opponent's top in two. Another defining characteristic of Farkas is his evil eye, seen by just about every kid on the playground.
