His brother comes up in his supports with Lissa, where she helps Stahl find a rare ingredient for his brother's stomach tonic, which comes up in his supports with Maribelle. His supports with the Avatar and Maribelle reveal that he is very good at reading people, often knowing what they want before they say it. His "B" support with Miriel reveals that his combat performance is used as the exact median for the performance of everyone in the camp.

Personality
Stahl has a gentle and trusting personality and is one of the few who has common sense. However he has a scatterbrain and acts a bit silly from time to time. He is very attentive and kind to others and has a big heart. Stahl considers himself the "average" of the army, seeing that there is an even amount of people stronger and weaker than he is. He is the biggest glutton in the army and mentions his never ending hunger at all hours. His birthday is June 16th.

Base Class
Stahl is the Abel of Awakening, meaning he he has higher strength and defense growths than Sully, but he has lower speed and skill growths than her. This means that he can deal much more damaging blows than Sully and can tank physical hits better. His resistance growth is very low and even after constant reclassing, his resistance may be an issue, so Talismans are a good remedy.

Stahl's base class is the Cavalier Line. He starts off with Discipline, which will boost his weapon training, allowing him to use more powerful weapons much quicker than other units. His high strength and defense growths compliment the Great Knight class really well, allowing him to quickly build strength, defense, and HP and maintain an average growth for speed and skill. Luna is a great skill for him to have to damage foes further and Dual Guard+ can potentially save his life from damage, especially magic damage. Paladin is a great class for Stahl to be as well, balancing his caps well and giving his resistance a slight boost in growth rate. Aegis is a skill that can give Stahl much relief from magic attacks to shave damage should he be bombard by them and should be on him until his resistance reaches a suitable amount. Stahl works great in both classes, if you want more raw power, take the Great Knight road, if balance is what you seek Stahl as a Paladin will not disappoint.
