Arthur Strathmore

Hailing from Aloria, Strathmore was a dedicated commander and world renowned tactician and leader. He was tasked with leading the experiment on the Solaris station. During their experimentation, something went wrong and it happened quick. Before he could activate the failsafe, the entire station went up in a flash. What transpired afterward, he cannot fully explain.

Gloom
In what seemed to be a flash, he ended up in a strange darkened city with heavy fog. Dark Knights walked around guarding the populace. Was he dead? He still felt pain. So it would seem not. This is where he met Vel. This chance meeting, he would find would lead him to a grand adventure throughout the world of She'Ol.

While here, he discovered the ability to internalize his anger into flames. He used these abilities along with help from the party to defeat the guardians that unknowingly kept Lady Death imprisoned. After freeing her, he was offered a way back home. He took this opportunity but not before pledging his allegiance to Lady Death. She gracefully accepted and sent him on his way. He returned to his homeworld along with MARK. With his memories intact, Arthur knew what he needed to do next.

Dawn of the Darkstar
Presumed dead upon the Solaris crash, Strathmore returned home after the events of Gloom. He did not return alone however, as MARK followed him here. Unfortunately upon his return home, he suffered from amnesia, not remembering his time here on Aloria but plagued with a familiar feeling. He has this compulsion to search for ancient artifacts that is fueled by a darkness that dwells within him.

Trivia
Arthur Strathmore was played by Tony Stephens in the Gloom podcast.
