“

Mercenary, assassin... It's all the same. I just work, that's all. If you've got the money, I'm more than happy to assist. – Deathstalker the Scorpion

”

Deathstalker the Scorpion (デアススタルカー・ザ ・スコーピーアﾝ Deasusutarukaa za Sukoopiian), commonly referred to as Stalker (ストーカー Sutookaa), is a main character in the Bloodlines series. He is a 36 year old anthropomorphic male Mobian scorpion and a mercenary for hire currently being employed by Mammoth Mogul. After witnessing the murder of his entire family, Deathstalker embarked on a long journey of revenge that eventually turned him to his career as a mercenary. Cold and distant, he is not without compassion or completely heartless. He displays a soft spot for children and once harbored strong romantic feelings for his partner Eris the Spider, though she died before he could confess his feelings. This has left him hollow and empty, a shadow of his former self.

Physical description

Deathstalker is a yellow scorpion with blue markings and four arms, two legs and a thick tail. He has a second pair of pincer arms, however they were deformed at birth and never developed properly beyond their current size. The metal backpack he wears unfolds into two sets of spider legs, which can also combine to form two large pincer arms. When these limbs are out, Deathstalker is capable of walking around like a spider, easily allowing him to manuever around an area. One of his shoulder guards bears the symbol of the Gossamer Clan. He has two katanas strapped on his back, two arm guards with three concealed blades, a knife strapped on his left thigh, and combat boots with his claw sticking out. According to Stalker, he is actually the runt of his family. While his tail is the normal size of an average Mobian scorpion, the rest of his body is much smaller in proportion.

Personality

Deathstalker's number one priority is himself. His next priority is money and whoever pays the highest amount for his services. He is selfish, uncaring and relentless and the only people he ever shows loyalty to would be his paying clients. And this loyalty is short lived as it ends once he is paid and his job is done. Because of this, he would easily betray his client if another offered a higher price.

He views himself as a tool and justifies that he cannot be held responsible for the lives taken while under contract, as they fall under the responsibility of his clients. The only murders he does take credit for are those related to his killing of the crime boss who killed his family. He justifies that, while under contract, he is the murder weapon simply acting upon his client, the murderer's, intentions and wishes, much like a knife or gun.

Despite his cold murderous demeanor, Stalker is not without a heart and does have a soft spot for children. In fact, he refuses any work that involves harming kids. This affection towards children likely stems from how his own childhood was taken from him following the murder of his family and his desire to prevent other children from living his trauma and turning out like him. There was even a point in time during which Stalker was in love. However, it's disastrous and heart breaking conclusion only served to distance himself from others.

He is reluctant to speak of his past and childhood, full well knowing that his family's murder and his subsequent path of revenge is what ruined his life. In fact, Stalker rarely shares any details about himself with anyone, making him a true mystery to those he encounters.

Abilities

Deathstalker has several skills and abilities that he utilizes in his various jobs and assassinations.

Powers

• Toxic poison: Deathstalker's tail and fangs possess a powerful venom that, while not immediately fatal, causes incredible bodily pain and internal trauma with a single dose. The poison attacks various parts of an individual's body, slowly and painfully shutting it down until death.
• Enhanced strength, durability, agility and flexibility

Trivia

• Deathstalker also had a very mentor-student relationship with Eris. She served as the inspiration for his robotic spider legs and her weapons as his own.
• His Bloodlines character quality is virtue.
