=Lore= Coleman Stryker was raised to value service to the Crown and valor as the highest virtues. He enlisted young, showing a remarkable aptitude that brought him into the Royal Guard very swiftly. When the Lion’s Coup began in 594, Stryker initially performed his duty to the Crown, fighting the insurgent forces of Warmaster General Prince Leto. It swiftly became apparent to the teen-aged soldier that righteousness was with the insurgents, and he ended the battle fighting at the side of the Younger, distinguishing himself and earning the respect of the new king.

As a reward, Stryker was granted the position he had desired: membership in the elite Stormblades. And it was here, in the quilted undersuit and lacquered armor that he first displayed any magical aptitude at all. The new warcaster was first tutored by the noted Commander Sebastian Nemo, one of Cygnar’s most veteran warcasters. Nemo taught Stryker the arts of magic directly, training a man who could end up being the elder warcaster’s greatest legacy. By the time Stryker was ready for his Journeyman tour he was among the best of the new generation of warcasters Cygnar had.

The man he served his Journeyman tour under was another old-school warcaster named Asheth Magnus, a former loyalist who had requested leniency from the Crown for supporting Vinter. Stryker and Magnus were well-paired as far as their abilities went: Magnus’ style of fighting molded Stryker’s very closely. But Magnus flaunted his position and abused his power in pursuit of enemies of the Crown. After a brutal interrogation and unlawful incarceration, Stryker did his duty to the laws governing acceptable actions by military officers and informed the Generals of Magnus’ actions.

Magnus was stripped of rank, and Stryker promoted to Captain. The former mentor was placed under Stryker’s command. During his time under Stryker, Magnus was nearly crippled, and blamed Stryker. When he returned to duty, Magnus attempted to kill Stryker. Stryker survived, and Magnus was forced to flee - the warcaster remains wanted.
