** Shaktis not the only one Charlotte also get a terrible and painful end.
* Man Stratos is a complete asshole. Poor Shakti....
** I honestly consider Stratos more of a [[Magnificent Bastard]]. I mean, the entire game's one big [[Xanatos Gambit]] that depends on:1: Persephone trying to establish an alliance with Stratos, 2: Pyro believing it's all a big conspiracy and accidentally starting a war with James, 3: James and Pyro battling themselves into a stalemate, allowing Stratos's forces to "take over the defense", and 4: Charnel knowing the entire thing and building his own countermeasure to the thing, causing him to distract Persephone and James while he pulled off his backstab. Essentially, Stratos managed to manipulate every single one of the other gods into a position where they could be taken out with little threat to himself. The only time the plan seems to outright fail is if you're with Pyro, whereupon Pyro pulls a [[Spanner in Thethe Works]] and winds up in charge of over half the world before Stratos and Charnel figure out that things aren't working out the way they planned and band together for a final stand against him.
** Well, as this site states, Stratos is only a successful [[Magnificent Bastard]] if you're siding with him. Otherwise, he ended up as a [[Smug Snake]] as... he got offed by Marduk, the thing he 'summoned'. Unless you're with Pyro, because you off him yourself.
*** His plan's also an even simpler, and better, Xanatos Gambit. Step 1: Get the gods to start fighting (Using the prophecy), Step 2: Stay back, since each side is even. Step 3: Pick one side, help them win. Step 4: Use Marduk to conquer allies who won. James/Pyro, and Persephone/Charnel are equal...Stratos is the tipping point. You just help change things...which actually works WITH Stratos' plan since the gods exhaust themselves.
