Stefan is a warrior who offers to assist players in their endeavors. All he asks is an equal share of the loot. He can be found in most towns and outposts throughout Tyria.

[edit] Locations

• Ascalon (all towns and outposts)
• Shiverpeak Mountains (all towns and outposts except Deldrimor War Camp, Marhan's Grotto, and Thunderhead Keep)
  • Droknar's Forge (explorable area)
• Kryta (all towns and outposts)
• Maguuma Jungle (all towns and outposts)
• Crystal Desert (all towns and outposts)

[edit] Skills

12-13 Tactics (level 20 only)

• "Charge!" (elite) (from the Dragon's Lair onwards, replaces Sprint)
• Balanced Stance
• Griffon's Sweep
• Healing Signet
• Power Attack
• Sprint (before the Dragon's Lair, replaced by "Charge!")
• Resurrection Signet

[edit] Evaluation

Stefan is a balanced fighter, with a fair amount of offensive ability. He will attack whoever or whatever the party leader is attacking, and if not already fighting, will engage any enemy that attacks a party member. This may cause him to rush headlong into enemy mobs with no regard for his own safety.

Pros

• Has Balanced Stance to prevent knockdowns.
• Can use Griffon's Sweep to disrupt foes using blocking skills.
• Will retreat from enemies before activating Healing Signet to avoid taking excessive damage.

Cons

• Will retreat from enemies before activating Healing Signet, often diverting enemies attention to other party members.
• Has no adrenal skills.
• Has no defensive skills other than Balanced Stance.

[edit] Dialogue

Towns and outposts:

"Are you here to just talk, or is there some real bravery in that guy of yours? My sword is sharp, my shield is strong, and I'm itching for a good fight. Are you going to stand there all day, or are we going to find some trouble?"

Droknar's Forge (explorable area):

"Do you think dropping your name will impress the ladies? I mean, being associated with a hero of your stature is pretty impressive, right?"

[edit] Quotes

Shiverpeak Mountains:

"What's the longest you've ever gone without a bath? Me? I'd say three weeks."

"You see that over there? Is that...? Yes, I think it is. That's Gryphon Droppings." [sic]

Kryta:

"How much do you think my sword weighs?"

"The White Mantle sure have great capes. I'd like to get me one of those."

Maguuma Jungle:

"I get the feeling even the plants here are eyeing us as potential meat."

Crystal Desert:

"Do you think the heat could actually turn your brain into a loaf of bread?"

[edit] Battle quotes

"Ascalon forever!"

"By Balthazar's mighty blade, I will hear your squeals of anguish."

"Come to papa."

"I love a good battle."

"I'm going to beat you until you're bright blue."

"I'm going to pound you into a new dimension of pain."

"Line them up. I will knock them down."

"Prepare to meet Grenth, vermin!"

"Taste cold steel."

"Try this on for size."

[edit] Trivia

• During the Beta Weekend Events Stefan had a Surname: Stefan Baruch.
• Stefan's Quote "Line them up. I will knock them down." might be a reference to the Unreal Tournament series, where it's also used as a quote.
