A hot headed replacement E-frame pilot, he has little respect for authority and even less for rules. Frequently acting like a hot shot and getting younger pilots in trouble because of it, Stavrogan was shipped around the Exo-fleet as a replacement or temporary pilot. While his skills as a pilot are substantial, and his instincts sharp, his attitude toward authority is one of disrespect and near-contempt. Constantly at odds with officers, Stavrogen has few friends in the higher ups. Following the operation to retake Mercury Stavrogan was shipped off to O'Hare's E-frame repair unit.
