His second basic skill is also a chain skill that dumps a large amount of Break damage all at once. He scales off HP as a Fire-attribute breaker.

He is a Breaker-class warrior who focuses on high sustained damage and durability, using his strength to overwhelm enemies in close combat.

A cowardly warrior carrying on his master's will.

Dossier #1: Separation by Conflict

After his hometown was attacked by demons, Stark came of age as the disciple of the Warrior Eisen.

Eisen rarely spoke of his own life, but would gladly share stories of his ten years of adventures with the Hero Party.

Stark, having grown up hearing those tales from a young age, was called a coward—yet displayed exceptional talent as a warrior and learned everything about being a warrior from Eisen.

One day, during training, Eisen, intimidated by Stark's talent, accidentally hit him.

The incident caused the two to part ways, and the scar on Stark's forehead remains as a reminder of that day.

Dossier #2: The Meeting of Frieren and Fern

Frieren and Fern arrived in a village that had been attacked by the Solar Dragon to visit Stark, who was staying there.

When asked to join them as a vanguard, Stark agreed on the condition that they help him defeat the Solar Dragon.

However, frightened of the dragon, Stark clung to Frieren and cried.

When Stark had confronted the dragon before, he was so terrified that he couldn't take a single step.

But surprisingly, the dragon didn't attack the village again, and the villagers began to regard Stark as a hero.

That night, Fern went to see Stark as he trained and shared her own experience with him.

"...Is it resolve...?"

"All I need is resolve..."

Driven by his resolve to protect the village, Stark single-handedly defeated the Solar Dragon and went on to join Frieren on her journey.

Dossier #3: A Humble but Fun Adventure

At the northern gate, Stark savored a Jumbo Berry Special while reminiscing about the past.

But the Jumbo Berry Special seemed smaller than he remembered...

When he was a child, he could never finish one by himself and would always share it by Eisen.

"But... was it always this small?"

back then. everything had seemed so big.

Now even his master's back, which once looked so broad, seems small.

"...But was it really this small?"

Having realized his own growth, Stark wanted to repay his master for raising him.

He resolved to come back bearing countless tales of his fun adventures.

Dossier #4: Battle with a Demon

During their journey, Frieren, Fern, and Stark encountered a demon.

Linie, the executioner serving Aura the Guillotine, brought Stark down with movements that mimicked the techniques of Warrior Eisen.

However, remembering his master's words to get up again and again and give it his all, Stark rose once more.

"...I'm still standing."
