Captain:Stratar Schartolo

"I will crush all my opposition. I will hunt down and kill every one of my enemies. I will dig up the roots of all injustice. And I will do it all in a way that makes my family and my people proud, the honorable way!"

- Schartolo's Philosphy.

Stratar Schartolo is a valued Stratar in the Xenotimh military and skilled bladesman.

He was awarded and recognized by the Centapedus Empire for his actions in The Rising.

Early Life
Schartolo grew up with his family in the Eternal Glade, a small valley in Xenoterra with an abundance of green plants and other life. From an early age, he trained with his grandfather, Armatolo, to become skilled in the art of bladesmanship. As per family tradition, especially not to upset his grandfather, Schartolo joined the Xenotimh military and swore into Knighthood as soon as he got the chance. With this vow, Schartolo was never allowed to use firearms and only his blade to kill his foes. He was also only allowed to draw his weapon if he was sure he was going to kill with it.

The Death of Armatolo and The Grox Campaign
At the age of 26, Schartolo's grandfather had passed away due to illness. Devastated, Schartolo went into depression for several months before he returned to the military. Shortly after his return, Schartolo and a group of 4 other Knights were sent down to a Grox colony to "quell the dishonorable machines in return for the deaths of many of our people." Surely enough, the Grox had expected the Knights' arrival and set up an ambush. Thousands of Dronox clones overwhelmed the Knights and eventually killed all but Schartolo. Disobeying orders to retreat, he risked his life by running into the cloning device and stabbed through it with his blade, causing a massive explosion. Accepting his inevitable death, Schartolo kneeled down and made one last prayer, before he was knocked unconscious. Miraculously, he had survived the explosion with minimal injury. Upon his return to Xenoterra, he was given the rank of Stratar for his deeds, and as a request from his grandfather, who had left in his will 'Should my grandson commit an action of the utmost honor and value, I would be honored if he were to join the ranks of the Stratar, like his grandfather.'

Personality and Traits
Schartolo is very charismatic individual, known to inspire even the most timid of his men to give their lives without a second thought. He is known to shout motivational speeches before and during battle to his troops to help boost their morale. Schartolo also has a habit of talking to his friends and comrades using metaphors to always see the positive side and what they can do to win, or even if they do lose, be honorable.

Schartolo zealously believes in preserving his honor. In combat, he is only seen wielding his blade, and often challenges opponents to take him on in hand-to-hand combat.

Despite his outward appearance of only caring for the battlefield and honor, he is, in general, a very caring leader. He often takes the time to kneel down by his fallen comrades to "comfort them as they begin their rest." To his living comrades, he often volunteers to do the most difficult of tasks, to save his friends from a possible death.
