History
Early Life[]
Stakar Ogord is one of the original Ravagers, an extensive collection of mercenary groups roaming the galaxy and undertaking risky jobs for money. Leading his core team of clan leaders, the United Ravagers, on various heists across the galaxy, his closest lieutenants were Martinex and Yondu Udonta, a Kree battle slave Stakar rescued personally and took under his wing, leading to Yondu becoming the captain of a Ravager clan.
Eventually, Yondu began trafficking children as part of a deal with the Celestial Ego, and when Stakar discovered this, he exiled Yondu and his clan from the rest of the Ravagers, betrayed by his breaking of their sacred code.[1]
Reuniting the United Ravagers[]
By 2014, the rest of the United Ravagers had drifted apart, with only Martinex still standing at Stakar's side. However, they received a message from Rocket, a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, who informed them that Yondu had sacrificed his life rescuing one of Ego's progeny, Peter Quill, from Ego's murderous clutches, and had helped them stop Ego from wiping out all life in the universe. Stirred by this, Stakar called for all the Ravager ships from around the galaxy to meet up with the Eclector, Yondu's ship that was now captained by the Guardians, and hold a grand Ravager funeral for him, celebrating his life and legacy.
Yondu's sacrifice also influenced Stakar to bring back together the rest of the United Ravagers, including Martinex, Charlie-27, and Stakar's estranged wife, Aleta, who then went on to perform more heists together.[1]
Work with Gamora[]
Around 2023, some nine years after reuniting their team, the United Ravagers were joined by a new captain, Gamora, a fierce and callous Zehoberi assassin who was displaced from her universe after a time travel excursion with the Avengers went wrong. She eventually rose to become one of Stakar's top lieutenants in the United Ravagers, earning his respect and even friendship, and they spent years together committing heists and hijacking vessels.
Some time later, Gamora was contacted by Nebula of the Guardians of the Galaxy, who told her they needed a way into the Orgoscope to find a way to save Rocket's life, since he had been mortally wounded and his cybernetics were developed by OrgoCorp. Stakar and the other United Ravagers rendezvoused with the Guardians' ship, the Bowie, just outside the Orgoscope, and gave them engineer uniforms and spacesuits to infiltrate the facility, as well as the aid of Gamora. The mission was not only a success, but the team also managed to dismantle OrgoCorp and kill its head, the High Evolutionary. Gamora then returned to Stakar, and they would presumably continue their crimes across the galaxy for the foreseeable future.[2][3]Notes
