Sturm

Sturm (Japanese: ヘルボウズ, Hell-Bouzu) was a CO and ex-leader of Black Hole, presumed dead since the Macro Land war. He appears during the first two Advance Wars games as the main villain, and serves as a primarily villain of Advance Wars Frontier along side with Von Bolt.
==Appearances==
===Advance Wars===
In the first game, Sturm is a true mastermind behind the conflict. He controled the other forces with Robo-Andy, using him to frame Orange Star for attacking other nations. Fortunately, they realized their mistake and battle Sturm, defeating him will force him to retreat. During Campaign, players will only fight against Sturm twice, on the final two missions, despite him being the one responsible for the outbreak of war.
Sturm noted that he underestimated the forces of Wars World, but survived the battle and escaped.
===Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising===
Sturm returned in the second game again, the leader of the Black Hole had forces though, this time he's brought some other Black Hole COs with him. This time Sturm attempts to takeover the allied nations by force. By his command, the Black Hole army had invaded the allied home nations, making use of new weapons including the factories and pipe lines that used to fuel the invasion forces led by these Black Hole COs. Sturm stayed in Black Hole territory himself. Until then, he is defeated by the Allied Nations when they repel the Black Hole offensives and attack Black Hole's headquarters. After the final battle he attempts to detonate a bomb to take the other forces' COs down with him, but is prevented from doing so and killed by Hawke.
==Personality==
Not much is known about him other than that he is an alien who enjoys war and hates peace. He is pure evil, bent on conquering the world, and lacks any respect for his enemies, constantly calling them "worms". He lacks compassion and does not value life, even willing to destroy Wars World rather than be defeated. 
==Relationships==
Sturm does not have his own relationship. However,he considered everyone inferior to himself, up to and including his second-in-command, Hawke.
==Tactics==
Sturm's units receive a powerful boost without drawbacks, but Sturm's most devastating power is the ability of his units to move through any terrain without a movement penalty except when it is snowing. This allows Sturm to completely dominate the capture phase and often win the game in the first few turns.
==Trivia==
*Sturm's appearance in Advance Wars strongly resembles a Snifit from the Mario series.
