Stratus, the oldest of his family to Exalt and the third son, took his family's destruction the hardest. He continues to pledge loyalty to Mnemom publically but he would love to rend their flesh from their bones if he had half the chance. He got along with Alastair and Soren as well as any big brother does to his younger brothers: beating him up in a playful manner and never leaving too many permanent marks. Unlike Soren, he always could control his temper and was well-known as a man of great wisdom and a good indifferent party to come to with an arguement.
To get away from the Blessed Isle and prevent incident, he signed up for the Wyld Hunt in the Scavenger Lands. He is still serving there. He met his familiar, Vendetta, during one such hunt. His group was attacked by a river dragon and several men were killed. The Dragon-Blooded took it on but were badly injured in the process. During the fighting, the injured Stratus noticed a small nest buried in the reeds and snatched up the eggs before the dragon could crush them. A pair of reedsharks sprung fromt he water before him and somehow knew that he was not going to hurt their children; the male helped him back into combat. Together, they were able to kill the dragon and Vendetta claimed Stratus as his master because of Stratus' selfless deed to protect the reedshark nest.
