Stoica

**Stoica** (Japanese version **Scotia** (スコーティア, *Sukōtia*?)) was the Aquos brawler for the Major Twelve Orders. He used Aquos Lythirus.

### Description

He has a split personality, one of an angel, the other of the devil. When he's an angel he is fun to be around, but when he is in devil mode, he is frighteningly cruel and no one can stop him. Stoica has lots of trick moves during battle and opponents have a hard time reading him. He has saved Gundalia many times with ingenious battling abilities. He is the youngest member of the Twelve Orders. It is unknown why, but somehow he was able to breathe underwater as shown in episode 14, when he was easily beating Wynton.

## Personality

It is said that Stoica has a split personality: as an angel, he is fun to be around, but as a devil, he is frighteningly cruel. He is loyal to Barodius, though it is unknown whether that loyalty is more for his own gain or if it is genuine devotion. Either way, he was always suspicious of Gill, and figured out Airzel was lying about Fabia killing Kazarina. He also disliked subordinates like Jesse Glenn, and like Kazarina, had no problem with disposing of them to save his own skin. However, he seemed to get along with Lythirus.

He may tend to go overbroad with his enemies, going as sure as using an ability in spite of the fact that he will get Lumagrowl drowned in the process. He also had been smart enough to figure out that Dan and Shun were swapping Bakugan. He thinks highly of himself, as seen when Stoica complained that Gill should send Airzel to Bakugan Interspace instead of him.

In *Broken Spell*, he reveals that he overheard Gill talking with Airzel about Kazarina and forces Airzel to admit that the reason that Gill stayed behind was to kill Kazarina himself. When Airzel was confessing that, Stoica turned on the speakerphone so Barodius can overhear it.
