Condottier - Stragus Magus

Stragus Magus was the Pope’s most trusted captain of the Holy Knights, born into a frontier noble family and raised from childhood to uphold honor and faith as his guiding principles. Ever loyal and just, he cared deeply for the common people, but when he discovered the Pope’s ambition to seize the Holy Stone, he grew suspicious and repeatedly tried to dissuade him, to no avail. In the end, the Pope falsely accused him of filicide and branded him a traitor, forcing him into exile on the frontier with shame and fury. Though betrayed, Stragus remained true to his knightly spirit, and later fought alongside Ashley, not only clearing his name but also becoming a crucial ally in the struggle against tyranny and the corruption of the Church.
