History

Armstrong, also known by his original name Aram Anni-Padda, is one half of the adventuring duo Archer & Armstrong. He is one of three immortal brothers born in ancient Mesopotamia, along with his younger brother Gilad the Eternal Warrior and his older brother Ivar the Timewalker. 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.

    • Halted Aging: Armstrong, like his brothers, ages either at an extremely slow rate or not at all.

  • Superhuman Stamina: Armstrong can exert himself for extended periods of time despite being in terrible shape.
  • Hand-to-Hand Combatant (Basic): Armstrong has received very little training if at all, but experience has made him a very competent fighter. He has held his own against the Eternal Warrior and has fought Bloodshot and a fully-powered Archer to a standstill, respectively.

Quote1 I was right, when me and my brothers set off on our journey, that we'd find the world's greatest subject. My first work, "Gilgamesh," got hailed as a masterpiece.

Immortality, eternity... forever doesn't matter. What matters is what you've got now... before it's gone. Quote2
