Waltolomew Stricklander, also more commonly known as Walter Strickler, is a major character in the Tales of Arcadia franchise.
He was a changeling troll who was created by Morgana, having swapped places with a human named Waltolemew Strickler to disguise himself as a human and fit into our society, but eventually changed his ways and started raising the familiars with Barbara Lake.
He was voiced by Jonathan Hyde, who also played Van Pelt in Jumanji.
Personality[]
Stricklander was very scheming, manipulative, and power-hungry. As Jim's history teacher, he was able to keep him from knowing he was not a human at all, but a changeling troll. He also conspired with Bular to capture Jim so he can use his amulet to free the made-of-evil troll named Gunmar. However, after Bular's death, he conspired again with Angor Rot so he can rule the world with the other changelings. It is unknown why he wanted hegemony.
However, Stricklander eventually found his redemption after Jim and Blinky defended him from the mob of trolls in Trollmarket, and gave Jim Gunmar's Eye (the last Triumbric Stone) so the latter can defeat Gunmar himself. He was not immediately redeemed, but this eventually happened as the show progressed.
