Lautaro Tejedor

"'Give me a break...' - Lautaro's common catchphrase."Lautaro Tejedor is a male IS pilot of IS Academy, and IS Representative of Spain. He pilots the third-generation IS, Vengadora, an experimental IS manufactured in Iberia by the Spanish and Portuguese governments. He is the main protagonist of Vengadora, a fanfiction written by Wolfbeast5672

Appearance
Lautaro is a handsome spiky black hair and light blue eyes. He has a pretty muscular build thanks to his intense training as a child, that coupled with his constant grumpy, stone-faced expression give him a brutish, intimidating appearance. After his fight with the rogue IS, Silver Gospel, he lost his right eye and had to wear an eye-patch for a little while before receiving an artificial one. Part of his right hand is also artificial, implanted with the A.I that allowed him to pilot the IS and has a red symbol on the back of it.

By the end of the fic, his eye-patch had been destroyed, so he wore a bandage wrapped around his eye. The red symbol on his arm had vanished, as Vengadora had come to possess his entire body. Instead of blue, his eyes have turned red.

Personality
Upon arrival to the academy, Lautaro rarely shows any positive emotions on his face. He's constantly got this grumpy expression, and it has been noted that absolutely no one in the academy has seen him smile once, not even a smirk or grin. Despite his initial silence, he has a temper and is prone to anger when something precious to him is mocked as shown when he went off on Cecilia after she indirectly mocked his deceased family. He enjoys peace and quiet, and is annoyed by loud individuals such as Rin and Tatenashi. He also dislikes sudden bright flashes, as evident when he exclaimed after Mayuzumi suddenly took a picture of him.

Lautaro is also shown to have zero remorse when killing, he is solely devoted to avenging is little sister and destroying Phantom Task, as he shot down a military plane used by Phantom Task operatives and has murdered countless more. Later on his blood-lust grows worse and worse, as it is revealed that the A.I is influencing his rage and violence, in which he is forced to get rid of it.

However, Lautaro is not completely incapable of feeling love as he spent time with the girls in the academy, and actually grew a close bond with him. He thinks lowly of himself, and even put Cecilia down saying that she shouldn't compare herself to an emotionless lowlife like him. As Chifuyu mentioned, he's a good guy but he just can't show it on his face.

Overall, Lautaro is just a broken kid, crushed by the death of his family and all he wants is peace and quiet.

By the end of the fic, he realizes that the true enemies weren't Phantom Task, but the Infinite Stratos itself, and thus wages war against the world declaring he would destroy every single one of them and their creator. Having rallied and formed a group of soldiers agreeing with his ideals, known as UNIDAD (Spanish for "Unity".)

History
Lautaro's mother, Aguila, was originally a Phantom Task member having stolen the Vengadora, but after years of operating with them she had enough and decided to defect, using the Vengadora to her escape and hid back in Spain. She met a man and had two children, Nidia and Lautaro, where they grew up peacefully at the time, but later on Aguila feared that Phantom Task was catching up to her, and after an encounter with an operative she decided to have a perform a surgery performed on Lautaro, unknown to him, which implanted the A.I chip into his right hand. Which would later allow him to use Vengadora.

Soon enough, Autumn and another Phantom Task member attacked their home, killing Aguila in hopes of retrieving the IS. However, Aguila didn't have Vengadora so what the Phantom Task members did, was assume Nidia had it. They killed her via breaking her neck, and when they deduced neither of them had it they simply lit the house on fire and flew off. Lautaro was hiding and had managed to escape the fire, faking his death.

For later years, Lautaro was an orphan on the streets of Spain, digging in trashcans for food and sleeping in the middle of alleyways, often visiting his family's graves and mindlessly reassuring to them that he get revenge. He had joined a group of other young delinquents in hopes of finding a way to grow and get revenge. One day, upon returning to the ruins of his former home he murdered two gangsters hired by Phantom Task to search the remains for the IS. He had many unethical things to survive, having hurt a lot of people badly. He abandoned and nearly slaughtered the delinquents after he found them ganging up on a young girl that resembled Nidia.

One rainy night, he was digging through the trash in the back of restaurant and was spotted by Chifuyu Orimura who simply brushed him off as a mere street urchin. It wasn't until she came back to where Lautaro was, being detained by a police officer after he had almost stabbed an entitled man trying to shoo him away. At this point, Chifuyu knew who it was and went to the police station the day after, bailing him out and promising him that she would help him get the revenge he desired.

For the next few years, Lautaro became Chifuyu's apprentice, training under her. He became extremely proficient in combat and IS piloting, resembling Chifuyu in some capacity. He was with her in Germany, training the young super soldiers candidates where his rivalry with Laura Bodewig first sparked.

At some point, he decided to finally start enacting his revenge against Phantom Task and temporarily broke away from Chifuyu. He met a girl named Gemma that also wanted revenge, and together they both attacked Phantom Task cells and members to stir up trouble. However, in an unnamed city one of their attacks failed which resulted in Gemma being killed by an enemy IS pilot in front of Lautaro.

With no where left to turn and Phantom Task on his tail, he contacted Chifuyu again who had started working in the IS Academy where she had him enroll under the guise of Spain's IS representative, but he knew little of what would come of it.

Infinite Stratos & Abilities
Having been an orphan around other delinquents and committed crimes for survival, Lautaro was pretty well-versed in fighting and defending himself. When he became Chifuyu's apprentice and began training under her, he quickly developed even more dangerous skills. He is good with armed and unarmed combat, able to go toe-to-toe with experienced soldiers and pilots such as Madoka and Tatenashi. Being personally trained by Chifuyu, he is one of the best in the academy.

As mentioned previously he pilots the IS, Vengadora.

Nidia Tejedor
Being his younger sister, Lautaro and her were once extremely close and inseparable, always together, following each other around and even threw tantrums when something separated them, making school difficult as they needed to be together and all times. Her death is was a crucial part of Lautaro's mental state as a person took a downward spiral, as he fell into a deep, nihilistic despair as his time as an orphan. He would either find a way to get revenge or just get killed off, those were his two options at the time. When Chifuyu adopted him, he finally chose an option, and that was to get revenge. Everything he did after that was in her name, and his mental state even deteriorated to the point where he started having hallucinations of her, which didn't help him in the long run. However, by the end of Vengadora, he manages to get over her death, now turning his ideals of vengeance into an ideal which he believes will help humanity, the destruction of the Infinite Stratos itself.

Chifuyu Orimura
Lautaro and Chifuyu's relationship is a bit complex. On one hand, Chifuyu has stated that he sees Lautaro as a second little brother, and cares about as much as she does with Ichika, except less harshly as he's already as tough as he is. Lautaro mostly acts like a moody teenager around her, always grunting when given a command literally anyone else can do as great as him. However, he does hold a great deal of respect for her, and is thankful for adopting him. He also seems to display embarrassment only when it involves something about her, such as when Charlotte asked Lautaro if he was attracted to Chifuyu at the beach, in which he completely abruptly rebutted in a loud fashion.
