Stoke is a minor character in the Jem animated series. He is one of Lord Trevor's hired goons, along with his colleague Fenton, who was hired to assassinate his nephew and Wissex earlship heir, Mason Hawthorne.
History[]
We first meet Stoke and his partner in crime, Fenton, when Lord Trevor addresses them in a side room of his mansion after dealing with the Burns family. Mr. Trevor asks the duo if they have located the real heir of the earldom of Wissex, to which Stoke replies they have and that they tracked him to a club in London. Mr. Trevor then reminds them they know what to do and that it must be done before eight o'clock of the next day, to which Stoke reassures him not to worry, as they'll make sure that the real earl never returns to claim his title, while he picks up a Wissex earldom coat-of-arms from the wall, throws it to the floor and steps on it.
The next day, we can see the pair of goons standing outside the "Unicorn Club" while roadies are unloading The Holograms' music equipment from a truck. Pretending to be two more of these roadies, Stoke and Fenton enter the establishment and head toward the stage. There, Stoke starts working while Fenton keeps and eye. Stoke places a timed bomb inside the drum set, intended to kill Mason Hawthorne with it, and both men then leave the place.
Due to an argument between Aja and Craig Phillips, most of the people leave the establishment, with only Craig and his little sister, Stormer, remaining inside. The bomb goes off, but fortunately, Craig and Stormer are far enough from the artifact to produce any fatal casualties. After this outrage, Mason, his friend Sir Hugh and The Holograms head to the mansion to put a stop to Lord Trevor once and for all.
The group arrive to the mansion right when the clock is striking eight o'clock, marking the moment when Mason can claim his title as earl. Seeing themselves cornered, the villains attempt to flee. When they see the new earl, Stoke and Fenton, who were waiting outside, also try to escape, but Jem uses her earrings to project a hologram of a pack of dogs blocking their path, which distracts the goons long enough for them to be captured, with Mason tackling Stoke and Sir Hugh tackling Fenton. We next see Lord Trevor, Stoke and Fenton being arrested and put inside a police car.

- Both Stoke and Fenton physically resemble and play a very similar role as Torch and Mickey, respectively, from the episode Old Meets New, in that the former is a long-haired metalhead and the latter a tall blond musclebound who work for the episode's main antagonist, with their job mainly consisting on performing acts of sabotage.
