Weapons and Projects Funder
A weapons enthusiast and one time covert operative, Samuel Stark is commonly
found working with members of the Strider’s Strikers infantry division. Samuel
is officially retired, but his work with covert ops and modification of weaponry
often comes in handy for Strikers’ soldiers. Having designed and built his own
heavily armed jump trooper suit, Samuel is a popular role model amongst the
foot-soldiers.
He has traveled with the Strikers since their time on Wasat. Many of the team
speculate how long he would continue to travel with them. Strider’s Strikers
Intelligence Corps members even investigated Samuel’s motives for staying on
the team. At one point, it was suggested he might have been a spy for
Katherine Steiner’s forces. However offended he might have been by the
accusation, Samuel passed all investigations and became popular again with
infantry units.
He seems to spend most of his time funding and participating in armor
research. He could also be found on weekends playing cards the Pay’s Due
platoon barracks. Samuel and most of the infantry shared a variety of interest
including experimental weapon design. Samuel especially liked to show off his
customized creations he had created in the research laboratory with the help of
Dr. Byron Jones. With the death of most of the platoon at the hands of the
Ghost Bears, Samuel now keeps more to himself. It is unclear if he is suffering
from depression himself.
Samuel was nearly killed during a Word of Blake attack on the Strider’s Strikers
H.Q. in 3068. He was posted in the Command Tower for too long with his
friend, Mechwarrior Xandar Harlow. While the two helped guide Ryan Harrison
through the Mech facility in an attempt to eliminate all infiltrators from the
complex, Blakist commandos made their way into the Command Tower’s upper
floors.
Samuel was shot on the stairwell just as he was putting on his custom armor.
He’d been unable to protect his chest and face fast enough because of the
order in which he had to put on the armor’s different components. Though
rumors of his death circulated, he recovered from the attack in time to prevent
his own demise. He sealed and locked the armor before clumsily jump-jetting
his way to safety.
