The Resurrected Man Is Also Known As A "Stalker" In Mortal Engines Lore Stalkers Play A Very Specific Role In The Mortal Engines Universe Despite being a formidable bounty hunter, Shrike, and all Stalkers, have a brutal and gruesome origin story in the Mortal Engines story. Part Frankenstein's monster and part cyborg, Stalkers are a specialized force of programmable soldiers.
The desecration of their corpses didn't stop there, however. The internal organs of Stalkers were also removed and replaced with more machinery or weapons. In the process of being resurrected, Stalkers' emotions, memories, and desires are eradicated, with their memories only resurfacing as tangled snippets devoid of personal feeling and connection. Shrike was famously an anomaly in this regard as he formed an attachment to Hester and remembered pieces of his life.
