Stalkers(Philip Reeve)

The Stalkers are a type of combatants mentioned in Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines and Predator's Gold. They are also known as the Resurrected Men.The Stalkers were built by the Nomadic Empires that battle each other across the volcano maze of what was once Europe long before the Traction Era.They are seven feet tall and have glowing green eyes. They are also armed with sharp claws. They built these Stalkers by dragging dead bodies from the battlefields and bringing them back to a sort of life by wiring strange 'Old Tech' machines into their nervous systems. Once a dead person is resurrected as a Stalker, they will have no feelings and emotions and the will not have any memory of who they were before they died. The Nomadic empires were long forgotten but their deadly Stalkers were not. In Mortal Engines, one of the minor characters is a Stalker named Shrike and the London Guild of Engineers build new Stalkers from dead prison convicts at their experimental prison in the Deep Gut. In Predator's Gold, a London Engineer who survived the explosion is captured by the Green Storm who makes him build new Stalkers. These Stalkers are diferrent from the original because they come in many different forms such as a spider like machine armed with a machine gun in its belly and a whale Stalker that is designed to shoot missiles against Raft Cities.
