Biography

Very little is known about General Ktapodius, as he never makes a physical appearance and is only mentioned in passing. What is known is that Ktapodius was a respected and high-ranking figure in the Cult of the Eightfold Manifestation, active as a general of Mental's Horde during the Mental War.

Appearances

Serious Sam 4

Leading the charge of the Octanian Army in the Tunguska Offensive, Ktapodius inspired both fear in his enemies and respect in his subordinates, making him a high-priority target for the Earth Defense Force. As Bill Corwin reports in, Ktapodius' reign of terror was put to an abrupt end by the legendary Russian sniper One-Eyed Olga, dealing a severe blow to morale among Octanian troops and disrupting their chain of command. Unfortunately, this also painted a target on her back and she was announced dead shortly afterwards.

Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem

Having no interest in becoming the victim of Octanian retaliation, Olga was forced to fake her death and go into hiding in Southern Siberia. Meanwhile, a report from undercover EDF agents states that Octanian command struggled with cleaning up the panic spread by Ktapodius' assassination. Octinius the Swindler was appointed as his replacement, but a combination of his terrible reputation among troops and additional sabotage by the EDF caused desertion rates to spike.

Mental was utterly furious at this development and his high command began looking into a replacement for their "cheap and obedient" ground troops, leading to the creation of the Cloned Soldiers.
