Background

Armstrong, also known by his original name Aram Anni-Padda, is one half of the adventuring duo Archer & Armstrong. He is one of four immortal siblings born in ancient Mesopotamia, along with his younger brother Gilad the Eternal Warrior, older brother Ivar the Timewalker and younger sister Vexana the War-Monger. Unlike his more serious brothers, Armstrong is known to be a hedonistic party animal famous for his drinking and carousing. He is relentlessly pursued by ancient religious order called “The Sect” who view him as a demonic figure. In the 21st century Armstrong teams up against the Sect with Obadiah Archer, a young martial arts prodigy raised in a Christian cult.

Armstrong is a hedonistic alcoholic, spending the millennia he’s been alive bedding countless women and consuming countless gallons of alcohol. However, he also has a poetic streak, writing poems that range in quality from poorly-written excuses for poems to classics of literature such as the Epic of Gilgamesh (which was loosely based on his early life). Additionally, Armstrong struggles to develop long-term meaningful relationships, as he knows he will outlive almost anyone he meets.
