History[edit]
Abasi Oteke, known as "Grandfather of the Pits", was known by almost any Solaris Game fan, as he had been fighting in Solaris Arenas for nearly twenty years by 3076. Despite a long string of successes, Corporate Sponsorship, and opportunities aplenty, this tall, ebony-skinned man had continued to fight in Class 1 arenas (also known as Pits) as a battle armor fighter. For his sponsor, his devotion to this venue had been to their benefit, with sales of Solaris Arms' various exosuits always spiking up after a dramatic Abasi victory. It came as little surprise that Solaris Arms was happy to keep their prized fighter in the best technology they could find, and his latest Gladiator combat suit was no exception.[1]
Oteke, who had lost his left leg fighting for the SHDL during the final push into the International Zone and had since that retired, was contracted by StarCorps to help them in their redesign of the Gladiator Suit. He was instrumental in that process, with his insights playing a large part in the success of the Gladiator-S. As the main consultant for this design, he occasionally teaches interested mercenaries tactics that make effective use of the suit's clamps and boosters.[2]
Battle Armor[edit]
In 3076, he piloted a Gladiator suit called The Spider.[1]
