    Cult Member

    Mandrake was probably the most mysterious member of the Strider’s Strikers.  
    His Hunter support tank’s paint job was a clear indicator of this.  Mandrake was
    part of the Kraftwelt thieves, a cult of techno-spiritualists that exist unknown to
    many.  His literal worship of technology kept his Hunter in excellent condition,
    and he stressed Mech and vehicle care among all the Striker pilots.  Mandrake’s
    lack of a last name came from his initiation into the Kraftwelt.  His mind was
    placed in a state of trance and his memory "faded".  He went only by Mandrake
    afterwards and refused to acknowledge he was different earlier in life.  
    Mandrake sometimes carried magnetic pulse warheads rather than standard
    long range missiles.  He had joined the Strikers in hopes of obtaining a more
    powerful tracked vehicle.
    Mandrake was killed during the Ghost Bears challenge for the Arbiter class
    lostech Warship.  The Dropship he was boarded on was invaded by Elementals.  
    The powerful Clan battle armored foes took over the entire Dropship, killing any
    who stood in their way.  Mandrake had made an attempt to shoot one of the
    enemies, but his attack was noticed prematurely and he was killed by a blast
    from the Elemental’s powerful laser.
