The full story of Staga, the mightiest of the Destroyer's Chosen. Straga is a creature from the Abyss and a general for the forces of Hell during the end-war at the battle of Armageddon, and the secondary antagonist of Darksiders. He is also the most powerful of the Destroyer's chosen, who defeated Abaddon in the prologue of Darksiders. Due to the outcome of the battle and with the Hellguard weakened, the Charred Council granted overall victory of the Apocalypse to Hell.

Straga's first appearance was on Earth during the End War, when he rose from a gigantic pool of magma and killed Abaddon when the latter was distracted. Straga's defeat of Abaddon caused animosity between War and the Angels, who saw War's presence at the time as deliberate intervention in the End War against Heaven, as War's presence was the source of the distraction that resulted in Abaddon's death. Uriel in particular felt that the presence of the Red Horseman on the battlefield turned the tide of the war in Hell's favor. After killing Abaddon, Straga engaged War in battle. War, though he had already been stripped of much of his power during the End War, held the advantage throughout nearly the entire fight but was critically weakened by the Charred Council before he could deal the creature a deathblow. Straga immediately seized advantage of War's weakness and killed him.

After Hell's forces won the End War, Straga became the focus for the Destroyer's gigantic spire, The Black Throne. The spire, which was able to draw energy directly from the Well of Souls, greatly empowered Straga, and he hardly ever ventured outside of it. He apparently defeated Azrael after the Destroyer no longer had a use for him, and imprisoned him in the Black Throne. When War returned to the Earth one hundred years after the End War, he made a deal with the demon lord Samael that granted him access to the Black Throne. There, he freed Azrael and faced Straga once more. Despite being empowered by the spire, Straga was handily defeated by War, who gouged out both of Straga's eyes and used his Voidwalker ability to carve up the inside of Straga's head. Straga's death caused the Black Throne, which was said to be "one" with him, to collapse almost entirely, cutting the Destroyer off from the Well and it's power.

Straga's appearance seems to be that of a gigantic humanoid, many stories tall, with skin that looks more akin to rock than flesh, and a face that slightly resembles a skull. His mace and a few features in his body have the reminiscence of the Tower he resides (which bears similarity to gothic cathedrals), his mace itself looks like a Gothic Cathedral's tower. Most of his lower body is submerged in a lake of lava - he fights by swiping with his huge arms or club, and throwing cars at War.
