Captain Stratos

Captain Stratos commands the Phereless, a Skyguard ship that belonged to his father, but his public duty is entangled with a family vendetta. He describes his captaincy as a way to protect Lore while searching for someone. Invidia identifies that search as a pursuit of his brother Exos and revenge. A nightmare also exposes his grief for their sister Terra and his wish that he could have saved her.

His anger does not extinguish his ability to care or trust. He accepts Invidia as an ally even after learning that his aide is the Dreamweaver, and leaves his goggles beside the defeated Exos while asking that someone care for him. His crew’s loyalty survives High Command’s order that he leave the Skyguard and the Phereless over his vendetta. They choose to follow him as he claims his father’s ship.
