## Background

### 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 Imperial Orders. It is unknown why, but somehow he was able to breathe underwater as shown in episode 30, when he was easily beating Lana.

## 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 Jakku, and figured out Airzel and Unalak 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.

## Biography

### Anime

#### Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders

Stoica made his first appearance in *Revelation*, he and the other Imperial Orders members were talking about Linehalt, Blazikor, Leonidas and Drago and also about how Drago and Leonidas are too strong. Airzel berates Stoica, saying that he should take things seriously for once.

He reappeared once again in *Hostile Takeover* talking about getting the Elements and when Barodius told Ren and Anne to bring them more battlers from Earth.

In *Escape From Darkness* He is shown with the other Imperial Orders listing as Airzel and Unalak tells Barodius that the earth kids have helped the Gundalian Soldiers a lot. Kazarina then says that they should start to break through the first shield. Barodius says that to get such power they will have to take the 2 Elements.

## Trivia

* He is the only member of the Imperial Orders whose hair doesn't correspond with his attribute.
* His supposed angel/devil personality may be a reference to Angelo/Diablo Preyas.
* In Bulgarian, Stoica (Stoika) is a female name.
* Stoica's human disguise is similar to the outfits worn by members of SOLDIER from the video game, Final Fantasy VII.
* Stoica was the only Gundalian to have stayed loyal to Emperor Barodius until Phantom Dharak betrayed and killed him with his Guardian Bakugan.
* His name alludes to the word stoic meaning self-control. This is ironic as he seems to have no self-control.
* It is likely that his name is a mistranslation of his Japanese name Scotia, since both names have the same letters but in different order.

* He is the only member of the Imperial Orders (excluding the Gundalian Agents) that is seen with a human form or disguise unlike the other main members.
