Story

Straker does not appear in the story text of any campaign levels.

Heroes of Might and Magic IV

Straker survived The Reckoning and appeared as a Death Knight on Axeoth.

[[File: Hero {{{image2}}} (Heroes IV).png]] "Straker used to be a handsome man who sought to keep his looks by becoming immortal. But he was duped into serving a lich and in return was transformed into a zombie servant instead. Now, he takes out his hatred of his own reflection on the bodies of his enemies." — Biography

Trivia

  • Straker's name was suggested by Phil McCrum of the Astral Wizard website.
  • The Restoration of Erathia manual states that Straker is human, with him clearly depicted like one of the undead in his portrait. His bio in Heroes IV mentions that he was turned into a zombie prior to becoming a death knight. There is apparently no retcon here, as zombie is not a race, or a higher form of undead like liches and vampires, but just reanimated people with their flesh mostly intact. The manual thus specifies that Straker was once a living human.
  • The above makes Straker the only zombie hero in Heroes III.
