Strelok (Russian: Стрелок), also known as the Marked One (Russian: Mеченый), is the protagonist and player character of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. He also appears as the main antagonist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and a major character in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. He was originally intended to be the protagonist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, but was later confirmed to be a stalker by the name of Skif in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Official In-Engine Gameplay Teaser.

Etymology
Меченый (Mechenyj) as it is written in Russian, roughly translates to «The Marked One».
Giving a general description rather than a name for the player’s character is fairly common in video games as it allows the player to substitute the title with any name that they wish.
Стрелок (Strelok) in Russian literally translates to «Rifleman» or «Shooter».
Background
One of the most experienced and capable stalkers in the Zone, Strelok and his associates are some of the few people that managed to reach the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and live to tell the tale. He began accumulating experience early on, as he was one of the first stalkers, people to enter the Zone and bring back artifacts.
During one of his excursions, he found maps of the underground city under Pripyat. Realizing that this would allow him to bypass the Brain Scorcher and reach the power plant, he gathered his men and set out. This first raid to the center of the Zone was unsuccessful — while Ghost, Fang, and Strelok infiltrated the Sarcophagus, they were stopped from reaching the Monolith Control Center by a code-locked door.
[6]
During their retreat, the Common Consciousness became aware of their presence virtually on its doorstep. Furious, it unleashed a massive emission in an attempt to kill them. Strelok was critically wounded in the process and put in the care of Doctor by his two friends.[7]
Appearances
Shadow of Chernobyl
Strelok is the main protagonist of the game. Having survived the crash of a Death truck, Strelok was rescued by an anonymous stalker and Sidorovich. With little memory left, Strelok, dubbed as the Marked One as a reference to his S.T.A.L.K.E.R. tattoo, is only left with a PDA entry reading «Kill Strelok». With no other choice, the Marked One, unaware of his true identity, begins to search for Strelok within the Zone. The Marked One follows the information from contact to contact, tracing Strelok’s past movements and learning more about his supposed assassination target; the more he learns about him, the more he recovers scattered memories.
After assisting Professor Sakharov in his research of the Yantar area, the Marked One is able to secure a fully functional Psy-protection device that will shield him from the damaging effects of the Kaymanov emitter in Lab X-19 and, later, the Brain Scorcher. He finally finds Ghost’s corpse in the laboratory X16 after disabling the troublesome Kaymanov emitter and killing the Controller responsible for his demise. When Strelok manages to escape Lab X16 with the documents from Ghost, he learns of Guide, a member of his group. Upon finding Guide, Guide tells him about Doc, who was in the group’s hideout in the Agroprom underground. After making his way there, the Marked One trips an explosive trip mine which knocks him unconscious. When he awakes, the Marked One sees Doc, who tells him that the Monolith is just a lie — it was made in a laboratory inside the Sarcophagus — and of a decoder that Fang assembled, hidden in a hotel room in Pripyat. Doc also informs him that he is actually the stalker called Strelok, his earlier intended target.
Now, with Strelok remembering the most important information, he proceeds north to the Brain Scorcher, where he manages to overcome numerous Monolith troops to deactivate the Brain Scorcher and then makes his way to Pripyat, where he finds Fang’s grave and the decoder that Fang hid in an abandoned hotel.
With the aid of a few expert Stalkers, Strelok fights his way to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, fortified by fanatical and dedicated veteran and elite Monolith troops; and under attack by Spetsnaz, agents accompanied by APCs and Hind Gunships.
Against all odds, Strelok fights through the hordes of Monolith soldiers, with the Military nipping at his heels, and manages to enter Reactor #4 in spite of the impending Fourth Emission. Whilst in the Sarcophagus, Strelok faces off with Monolith’s most elite troops, and with considerable effort in the heavily irradiated areas, manages to neutralize them. Ignoring repeated, tempestuous calls from the Wish Granter, he finds a strange, code-locked door that he is able to open with Fang’s special Decoder (it has been speculated that this apparently must be the same door that Strelok’s group failed to unlock previously).
After defeating more of Monolith’s elite agents, he destroys the generators which powered the Monolith, thereby destroying it. A hologram appears in place of the destroyed Monolith, a worker of the Common Consciousness experiment. The hologram answers some of Strelok’s questions, such as the purpose of the Death trucks and C-Consciousness’ ulterior motive. The hologram then prompts Strelok to either join them or be killed. Strelok chooses the latter and is forced to fight his way through still more elite Monolith troopers while teleporting from one area to another at the top of the old plant. Finally, Strelok is teleported to a central laboratory that contained stasis pods of multiple people that sacrificed themselves to cover up the deepest secrets of the Zone, the C-Consciousness. Using his AKM-74/2U, Strelok shoots the pods that support the C-Consciousness subjects, effectively destroying it.
Clear Sky
Strelok makes an appearance in the prequel Clear Sky where he is the main antagonist.
After being rescued by the secret Clear Sky faction, Scar, a standalone mercenary, is forced to track down his group, eventually learning of his existence after searching Strelok’s hideout in the Agroprom Underground.
With the help of Sakharov, Scar manages to track Strelok down to the Red Forest. Strelok is briefly in plain sight but immediately escapes before Scar can apprehend or kill him. Lebedev, the Clear Sky leader, then exhorts Scar to stop Strelok, and Strelok responds with death threats if the pursuit of him does not cease. After chasing him to a motorized drawbridge, Scar must fend off an ambush launched by Loners hired by Strelok. Strelok takes advantage of the confusion to escape, blowing up the tunnel leading to the Brain Scorcher behind him. He assures Scar that it is no longer possible to follow him, and states that he will reach the center, whatever it takes.
However, unbeknownst to Strelok, Scar and the Clear Sky veterans managed to cut through the abandoned city of Limansk and the Limansk Hospital, another direct way to the power plant.
Strelok is in the vicinity, defending himself from both the Monolith guardians and Clear Sky. With the help of the prototype EM1 Rifle, Scar disables the psy-blocker device Strelok is wearing — without the aid of the device, Strelok cannot survive the potent psi emissions for long, and Lebedev believes that the activity in the Zone will stabilize after Strelok is defeated. Fighting his way through swarming Monolith soldiers, Scar uses the Gauss Rifle to disrupt the device and succeeds. After Strelok is defeated, readings are taken to see if the stabilization is beginning. Suddenly, an unexpected and massive Third Emission occurs, reaching levels far beyond the norm. Everyone within proximity to the plant, Clear Sky or otherwise, is hit and begins succumbing to the effects of the emission. During the closing cut-scene, they can be seen crowded in the corridors of the NPP, shaking unnaturally, whilst video screens flash of historic images of the NPP with distorted black and white images.
These signs foreshadow that those not already killed outright by the blast are about to experience a worse fate: brainwashed to become part of the Monolith forces; or, like Strelok, becoming unwitting agents of the Common Consciousness. Sometime after this; Strelok is rescued from the Death Truck and taken to Sidorovich.
Call of Pripyat
Strelok is curiously absent through most of the early going of the game. Later on, stashes belonging to him can be found via a UAV module in the Yanov area. He apparently abandoned his SGI 5K used in Clear Sky, leaving it for Fang, but his comrade obviously never recovered it. The player can recover the rifle and Strelok’s note — as well as a note he left for Ghost and a note Fang left him prior to their fateful trip.
He finally appears in Pripyat as a massive Fifth Emission strikes. It is here that he offers to provide the Military with information that will help them take control of the zone and destroy it. While he does not state to the player or Kovalsky what he has done, he wonders aloud if he made the right choice.
He also offers insight that explains what happened to the helicopters of Operation Fairway, thus solving the game’s main mystery and allowing a new helicopter evacuation mission to be called to Pripyat. The player can turn the notes over to him, winning his gratitude — and also extending his durability and efficiency in the game’s finale.
Strelok aids the Military during their escape of Pripyat, cutting through the gathered horde of zombies, escorted by the group to the Prometheus Cinema where rescue awaits. The game has two endings ‘portions’ dedicated to him — one where Strelok survives the evacuation and joins a team dedicated to researching the Zone as an ‘advisor’, and another where he dies, taking the secrets of the Zone with him.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
Strelok was initially confirmed, through leaked design documents, to appear in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 as the main protagonist.[source/verification needed] Not much else is known about his role.
In 2020, Skif was confirmed by GSC to be the new protagonist instead. [8]

Notes
- In first-person Strelok is apparently shorter than the other stalkers he meets, though this is most likely due to a bug or an oversight.
- In his in-game avatar in Shadow of Chernobyl, he wears a Sunrise suit.
- In Build 1935, he was originally supposed to be called «Gunslinger», the English translation, instead of Strelok. This appears in Sidorovich’s old dialogue in Build 1935.
- He uses an AKM-74/2U as his signature weapon. However, in Clear Sky, he makes use of an SGI-5k during the final gunfight.
- Strelok’s suit changes during his ending in Shadow of Chernobyl. He uses a kevlar vest with the design of a SEVA suit but does not incorporate the screen helmet. He also uses a SEVA suit in Call of Pripyat, although again, he does not make use of the helmet.
- According to Ghost, Strelok had a «distrust» for the Ecologists.
- Information from the design document from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 states that the possible name of Strelok is Pavel Konstantinovich Streletsky.
- In a different build, his name is Anton Chernov.[source/verification needed]
- His face is based on Australian actor Vincent Stone, which is used in SoC’s cutscenes and in Call of Pripyat as a game model.

The most mysterious hero of the series.
The shooter from «Stalker» turned out to be a mysterious character — what is the fact that in «Shadow of Chernobyl» we play for him, and in «Clear Sky» we try to kill him. And if you think that the main secret of the Strelka is that he is the Marked One, then you are mistaken.
Do you want a powerful PC? Come and win!
How he got into the Zone in the first place is unknown. There is a theory that he is Belarusian
From the games in the series, we know that Strelok and his group are legendary stalkers who broke deep into the Zone. But what is surprising is that neither Sidorovich nor the bartender from 100 Roentgen knows him by sight, and yet all stalkers encounter them in one way or another, as with the most influential merchants.
The point is that the origin of Strelok and his group is still a mystery. It is obvious that the guys ignore the southern part of the Zone (just where Sidorovich and the bartender live), but then to whom did they save swag? Apparently, there is some part of the Zone unknown to us, where their merchants and their groups of stalkers live. nine0005
Some fans even suggest that the Strelka group are Belarusians who came to the Zone from the north, but this theory has no evidence.
His appearance was taken from an Australian actor, but it was changed several times anyway
In all the cut-scenes of Stalker, the Shooter looks the same — he is wearing a greenish suit and helmet, he does not wear a backpack. This was done, most likely, for the recognition of the character, but there is one inconsistency — just look at how the character changed. nine0005
Yes, this is the same character from different parts of the game. For some reason, the developers did not want to make a single image and experimented from part to part.
At the same time, the Australian actor and singer Vincent Stone officially gave the hero the appearance. And no, this is not the harmful effects of radiation — there is no such information in the script of the games. But in this way it is easy to explain why the Strelka was not recognized by the Explorer, when he had not yet regained his memory and considered himself Marked.
By the way, at the end of «The Call of Pripyat» they wanted to change his appearance again — to add glasses and a beard. The character began to resemble an intelligent version of the Dude from Postal. In the end, the idea was abandoned.
NPCs in the game celebrate the preparation of the Bullseye. But what they don’t realize is that he single-handedly destroyed an entire faction. Other stalkers, who do not know the truth about the Marked One, note in the dialogues that he moves like a ghost, but fights like a lion. nine0005
This is not surprising, because this madman went alone to the center of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, knowing that the Clear Sky group, which the Strelok accidentally destroyed, was chasing him! Well, not with his own hand, but with the release that occurred at the time of the meeting between Strelok and «CHN» in the final game.
Tattoo S.T.A.L.K.E.R. disappeared from the hero’s hand. No one explained how
The hero got the nickname «Tagged» because of a kind of tattoo on his arm. She appeared just after the collision with the Clear Sky. Perhaps this is how stalkers zombified by the “O-Consciousness” are marked, but apart from Strelok, no one received such a tattoo in the games of the series. nine0005
Even stranger, she disappeared from him after the end of Shadow of Chernobyl. In the final cut-scene, the hero does not even have traces of her left!
Considering that this is the name of the game series itself, this may be something unusual, which we have yet to find out. For example, in the upcoming sequel.
The shooter is the only survivor after the first trip to the center of the Chernobyl NPP
In August 2011, the Shooter, Fang and Ghost penetrated into the very heart of the Zone. It’s hard to believe, but the guys did not succeed — the «monoliths» pushed them back, they had to flee.
The shooter was recovering for a long time, and at that time his comrades scattered around the Zone, where they found their death. nine0005 Strelok’s amazing luck, because while he alone made his way to the center of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant for the second time, his comrades together could not survive in the Zone. Fang died in a firefight with the mercenaries, and the Illusive Man was later killed by a controller during a mission. And what’s more — he will be going on a trip to the center for the third time, and will successfully complete it.
So the Shooter is a Mary Sue?

All these parts are united by one thing, or rather a person. No, it’s not Nimble, it’s Shooter. The legend of the zone, the famous stalker is a pioneer. It was he who got closest to the secret of the origin of the zone. Several times he made his way deep into the Zone, which caused global cataclysms. It’s time to remember what a difficult path he had to go through. nine0005 The story of Messer
The story of Messer begins exactly like the story of Strelok. Chernobyl, a truck of death and lightning, which marked the beginning of the adventures of Tagged into the stalker Shadow of Chernobyl, and during the adventures of Messer, the stalker Oblivion Lost. Of the differences in his journey, we can mention the merchant Toad and the stalker Journalist. During the story of the game, we were looking for any information about this stalker, because he was associated with a group of shooters. Having found out what he is doing and what is in the center of the zone, Messer goes to the generators.
There the long-awaited meeting with Awareness took place. Soon the developers renamed Messer to Tagged. nine0005Appearance Messer
The appearance of the toad (in Oblivion Lost was for Sidorovich’s place)
The first trip to the north of
in 2011 in 2011, the shooter along with his friends (fang and ghost) penetrates the center of the zone (Chernobyl nuclear power plant), where they are met by a huge flock of rats (this moment can be seen after picking up documents in Lab X-18). After dealing with them and getting inside, the group finds a suspicious locked door that cannot be opened. Fang says that he can make a decoder for this door. When trying to leave the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the group is attacked by a patrol of the Monolith group. Ghost and Fang lose sight of Gunslinger, who flees from the attack. Driven, he finds himself in the fourth power unit, where he sees the Wishmaster. The stone asks Arrow to make a wish, but exhausted, he loses consciousness (this moment was also shown in the video, after turning off the Brain Scorcher).
Fang and the Ghost find his body at the entrance to the dilapidated reactor and, bypassing the patrols, leave the Chernobyl nuclear power plant together with their wounded comrade (Fang offered to leave the wounded Strelok, believing that he would not survive, but the Ghost convinced him). After that, they take the half-dead Strelok to the Doctor and he heals serious wounds. After being cured, Strelok leaves the Doctor’s house and travels to the North, where he is exposed to a release. Fate is favorable to the Strelok: barely moving, he gets to the Doctor, and he saves his life again (perhaps this moment is shown in the video where we see the Doctor for the first time). nine0005Group photo Strelka
Appearance of the Swamp Doctor
The Second Expedition to the North
Here begins the plot of Clear Sky with everyone’s favorite faction war.
Having recovered from his injuries, the Gunslinger is about to go north again. According to the information that Fang gave him, Strelok finds out that someone found out about the activities of their group, and now the hunt has begun for them (The Clear Sky group found out about their activities, and Scar is hunting for them).
The gunslinger decides to head north through the Scorcher. To do this, he goes to Yantar to Sakharov for psi-protection. He passes this information to the Ghost and Fang via a flash drive and asks his friends to wait for him at the Army Warehouses (unfortunately Fang will die there). On Yantar, Strelok asks Sakharov for a prototype psi-protection under the pretext of testing it and makes his way through the psi-installation on Yantar. However, there is a powerful burst of psi-radiation, and Strelok falls into a trap. After some time, Lefty’s group (with the help of Scar) manages to restart the valve responsible for cooling the zombifying installation, and the Strelok leaves for the Red Forest, but at the edge of the forest, the mercenary Scar, who was on the «Clear Sky» mission, starts chasing him. The shooter manages to lure the mercenary into an ambush, and he himself runs into the tunnel and blows it up (thus he was able to overcome the Scorcher even without psi-protection). Through the tunnel, Strelok goes to the vicinity of Jupiter, where he leaves his unique machine gun and two notes for Fang and Ghost, and he himself goes to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (these caches can be found in Call of Pripyat).
There, Strelka is overtaken by the Clear Sky detachment, led by Lebedev (leader of the gp). Under psi-protection, Strelok tries to get to the Sarcophagus. However, the mercenary Scar, using a Gauss cannon (at least this device looks like a Gauss cannon, but it works in a completely different way), disables Strelok’s psi-defense. Unexpectedly for everyone, there is a super release. The shooter finds himself in an incomprehensible room with piles of bodies of half-dead stalkers, as well as with a bunch of equipment and screens. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. tattoo is visible on his arm..

The story of Marked, or the third trip to the center of the Zone
Here begins the well-known story of Marked. During the passage of the Shadow of Chernobyl, Bullseye disables the Brain Scorcher. Thus, the center of the Zone becomes open. Then, with a group of masters stalkers, he makes his way to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and finally gets to the locked door.
Having opened it, Marked (already remembering that he is a Shooter) meets with O-Consciousness. Refusing a tempting offer to join the O-Consciousness, Strelok finds the scientists’ hideout and destroys them. nine0005End of the road
After the destruction of the O-Consciousness, the Shooter realizes that the Zone has not disappeared. The guide (stalker legend) sent him through the dungeons of Pripyat to the military. Upon arrival in Pripyat, he joins a group of military men led by Major Degtyarev, to whom he tells about the Zone: in particular, he reveals the reason for the failure of Operation Fairway, the survivors of which gathered in the laundry. After the military breaks out of Pripyat with a fight, Strelok becomes the chief scientific consultant at NIICHAZ — the research institute of the Chernobyl anomalous zone (or dies). nine0005

GG — a former stalker who saved up money and left the Zone.
He begins to have absolutely realistic, disturbing dreams in which he sees familiar places in the Zone. After these visions begin to invade real life, the player heads to the Zone.
The player arrives at NIICHAZ to receive an official pass to the Zone. There he meets Strelok, who advises to talk about visions with the Doctor. The gunslinger entrusts the player with an official contract to deliver a package for the Doctor, and asks the player to come to him in the evening for an official pass and instructions on how to find the addressee. The head of security of the research institute enters the office, Strelok turns the conversation to another topic. nine0109 When the hero approaches the research institute in the evening, an explosion occurs, demolishing Strelok’s office. People run away. One of them comments that the player is one of the last people to talk to Strelok. The NIICHAZ head of security nods and orders the player to be detained. He is locked up in the security department of the research institute, charged with killing Strelok by activating an illegally smuggled artifact.
