Stark

Stark is a Human Warrior. After his village was attacked by Demons, he fled and became Eisen's apprentice. At Eisen's instruction, he joined Frieren's party as their vanguard.

Personality
Despite being incredibly hard-working and training as a Warrior for years under Eisen, Stark is a coward who is terrified of monsters, something he despised about himself. However, when faced with a perilous situation against the Solar Dragon, his body acted on its own and killed the dragon, with Fern commenting that all he needed was resolve. When he was a child, his older brother Stolz stated that he showed great concentration when he trained.

He acts childish and irresponsible at times, finding silly shapes out of clouds in Chapter 26 and staying up late when Fern was not around to monitor him.

Appearance
Stark has spiky, black and red dual-toned hair and orange eyes. He typically wears a collared black sleeveless shirt along with black pants and a white sash around his waist, and wraps bandages around his arms. When he is out, he wears a red coat and black fingerless gloves, and straps his weapon, a large axe, to his back with a belt. He wears a silver bracelet that he received as a birthday gift from Fern on his wrist.

He has a large scar on his forehead that he got from Eisen when he was hit for being cowardly. Wirbel comments that he has a "fine" body when he borrows him to be a vanguard.

Eisen
In his years of retirement, it was revealed that he adopted an apprentice under the influence of the deceased hero Himmel, that being Stark. The relationship between these two was noted to be rather rocky, with Eisen often shaming Stark due to his cowardice which would eventually lead to their falling out. However once Frieren came to ask for help looking for a Vanguard, Eisen recommended Stark commenting "I drilled everything I knew into him" believing he would become an "Incredible Warrior".

Fern
It is presumed that he possess a romantic interest towards Fern. Originally Fern viewed Stark as a lazy, hopeless coward, but once Stark joined the party after defeating the Solar Dragon, their relationship started gradually improving.

Frieren
Frieren is a mentor like figure towards Stark, encouraging him at times whilst also teasing him. Despite her inability to sometimes express her emotions, she is seen to genuinely care about Stark.
