BiographyEdit

Mazer Rackham was a general from the Second Invasion that won the war for Earth. Many consider him just lucky, but it turns out that he actually figured out a pattern of the Formic (Bugger) ships and destroyed the Queen.

After the war, he was sent back into space for 55 years at near the speed of light so he could be alive to train the general for the Third Invasion, Ender.

His whole family died during his trip, so training Ender has all of his attention.

QuotesEdit

• "I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had who was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will ever tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."
