Description
Stahl is a tall and slim half-elf with long brunette hair that is partially braided. His face is marked by a scar that runs diagonally from the upper right side, down to the lower left.

Involvement with the Black Rocks
Stahl received a black rock from Dramon Feng. The package was intercepted when Feng's courier, Tamlin, was killed. However, the Twilight Rose recovered the package and returned it to Feng, who in turn had it delivered to Stahl. This black rock predated his mining operation in Orcha, however it was believed to have been discovered prior to the loss of the City.

Interactions with the Twilight Rose
Stahl hired the Ivilesse branch of the Twilight Rose early into their operations in the City in order to track down black rocks for him to mine and sell. He selected the group as the members had no links to the City and were unlikely to be missed if they failed. He also stated that the group was efficient, capable, and followed orders with few questions. This mission led the Twilight Rose to the abandoned city of Orcha.

Orcha
With the defeat of the Oblex, the City of Orcha was safe again. Stahl used his wealth and power to immediately seize the city, establishing both a permanent security force and a mining operation. Stahl assumed control of almost all property inside the City, selling the homes by garnishing peoples wages.

Following the successful completion of this mission his son, Cedric Stahl, joined the Ivilesse branch of the Twilight Rose.

When a group of refugees arrived at Orcha, Stahl agreed to take them in and provide housing. In exchange, the refugees would not earn wages. Following a negotiation, Stahl agreed to only garnish their wages for a year if the Twilight Rose offered to help investigate the ailments caused by the black rocks. Briza, Grodak, and Gwen received lifetime train tickets when the discovered that the rocks themselves were being used to drain magic from the world.
