Stark ｢シュタルク Shutaruku?｣ 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[]
Stark has a charismatic and kind personality, resulting in him being well-liked among the communities he frequents. He is often doted on by older villagers and is popular with kids, sometimes serving as a mentor or role model for them. Stark, in turn, holds a lot of compassion for them and is willing to risk his life to protect them from threats.
Stark's cowardly nature.
Despite being incredibly hard-working and training as a warrior for years under Eisen, Stark is also a coward who is terrified of monsters and tends to have thoughts about fleeing from difficult battles, a quality he himself despises. However, when faced with perilous situations, he is capable of mustering up the courage to fight, even at the cost of his own life. When he was a child, his older brother Stoltz noted that he showed great concentration when he trained.
Stark occasionally acts childish and irresponsible at times, such as making crude references or staying up late when Fern is not around to monitor him.
Appearance[]
Stark has spiky, red hair with black roots alongside orange eyes. He typically wears a black, sleeveless collared shirt with white fastenings, baggy black pants, black boots, a white sash around his waist, and bandages wrapped around his arms. In colder climates, he wears a black turtleneck sweater. While outside, he wears a red coat with cream-colored lapels and cuffs and black fingerless gloves, and he straps his weapon—a large, double-headed gray-and-silver axe—to his back with a crossbody strap. On his wrist, he wears a silver bracelet that he received as an eighteenth-birthday gift from Fern.
He has a large scar on his forehead that he got from Eisen striking him out of fear. Wirbel comments that Stark has a solid figure when he borrows him to be a vanguard.
Abilities[]
- Superhuman speed
- Superhuman strength
- Superhuman agility
- Quick reflexes
- High pain tolerance
- Axe proficiency
Techniques[]
Stark uses Lightning Strike on Linie.
- Lightning Strike: Stark forgoes defense and raises his axe above his head. He brings the axe down extremely quickly, creating a beam of light that stretches into the sky and cleaves whatever it touches. The strike has a large range of destruction and can even cut into a cliffside. Like the name suggests, the strike is so fast that it is quicker than the sound of the destruction it leaves in its wake.
