Captain Stahl

Head of the Redhaven Violent Crime Task-Force

Description:
Late middle-age dwarf. Salt and pepper beard, oaken prothstetic leg.

Bio:
A former military officer, Stahl was recruited into the inquisition following feats of heroism in the field. Stahl lost his leg in the line of duty and has been given administrative positions ever since. Adjusting poorly to his injury and the reassignment to desk work, Stahl has turned to drink. Stahl is rarely found without a wineskin nearby to deaden his physical and emotional pain. A traditionalist and military man, Stahl does not hold with “those bleeding hearts in court” that want to reduce military spending to fund expanded social programs and protections for the merchant class.

Stahl was a "dirty cop", scamming money from his agents and not above framing pickpockets for assassination attempts. During the NST corruption scandal he was arrested for and confessed to taking bribes, obstruction of justice, accessory to murder, and divulging state secrets. As a punishment he was stripped of rank, had his tongue torn out with hot pincers, and sentenced to life in the silver mines.
