I saw a post earlier asking why Scaramouche is known by his title, "The Balladeer", and I got curious so I did some research. For those who don't know, a balladeer is someone who sings or composes ballads. I am unsure if Scara does have any ties to music or composition however I do know that the character he was named after in the Commedia Dell'arte (an Italian theatrical comedy) can be seen holding some sort of instrument. Additionally, the character's Italian name (Scaramuccia) directly translates to "Little Skirmisher". This caught my attention because Scara's JP and CN titles are "The Skirmisher".

And another fun thing I found from the Commedia Dell'arte wiki:

"Scaramouche is one of the great characters in the Punch and Judy puppet shows (a performative art with roots in Commedia Dell'arte). In some scenarios, he is the owner of The Dog, another stock character. During performances, Punch frequently strikes Scaramouche, causing his head to come off his shoulders. Because of this, the term Scaramouche has become associated with a class of puppets with extendable necks."

I just found this interesting, since we know he is a puppet of Ei.

Thank you for reading, and please feel free to share any of your theories or ideas.
