'''Strife''' was the second-in-command of the [[Storm King army]]. He served as the more meek scholarly type who organized the kingdoms resources. Although immoral, Strife was more sensitive and emotional. Upon realizing that [[Storm King]] didn't care about him, he refused to serve the empire and moved on with his life.

==History==
===Storm King's servant===
Strife was presumably present during the [[Destruction of a dozen lands]] era of [[Storm Empire]] history. After getting fed up with the immature and juvenile behavior of his lord, Strife requested the empire go ahead and conquer [[Panthera]], the capital of [[Abyssinia]]. Strife wasn't present at the actual battle site, but was soon to be the one who added up the Empire's newly gained riches. Afterwards, despite all o Strife's hardwork, the Storm King insisted that the two are not friends. Strife, defeated, admitted that he was nothing more than a servant.<ref name = PRE1>{{C|PRE|1|''Storm King''}}</ref>

===The sky pirates===
Sometime later, Strife abandoned his role as servant and got in contact with [[Captain Celaeno]] and her crew. Through the use of a magic teleporting bottle, he sent a message to the Sky Pirates, requesting them to steal and plunder all of the [[Storm Empire treasure ships]] while providing a map.<ref name = PRE2>{{C|PRE|2|''Captain Celaeno and the Pirates''}}</ref> Later, during the battle, the Storm King appeared to be surprisingly heartbroken by the betrayal by the one being he seemed attached to. Strife used the King's own "friends are a liability" philosophy against him. During the chaos, Strife flew away to one of Celaeno's ships.<ref name = PRE1/>
