They say war never changes, but weapons used and ponykind alike undergo change—not the face of war itself. Hi, my name is Infernal Radiation Wing, but everyone calls me Spartan.

Nonetheless, in order to best understand the origin of my name, it is essential to know how I got involved in the war. I was part of a top secret group of soldiers skilled in potion-making, marksmanship, lock-picking, hacking, stealth, and determination. We were a group of black ops soldiers—one of the best kept secrets of the Equestrian Royal Guard, overseen by the Ministries of Morality, Arcane Science, Wartime Technology, and, my personal favorite. the Ministry of Awesome.

My name is Spartan, and this is how I helped destroy—and restore—the world.
