Sten disapproves of the Chantry because it encourages its followers to be complacent in the Maker's intervention or influence to solve their problems rather than seek out the wisdom to solve it themselves. Sten believes that wisdom is as vital to life as breathing, but the only way to attain wisdom is to seek it out and discern it from life's experiences. Sten justifies his fatalist beliefs by arguing that it would be foolish to expect the world to change in order to suit one's desires and thus must change oneself in order to suit the world. Sten believes it is the duty of every person to embrace their predetermined role in society in order to be in harmony with the world. If the Warden is female, Sten will extend to expressing that women have no place on the battlefield (he also expresses this opinion to Leliana, Morrigan and/or Wynne during banter conversation), though he can come to be impressed by a female Warden's skills. He alludes to his fatalist beliefs in his first conversation with the Warden at camp, saying that he did not "choose" to be a warrior, just as the Warden did not "choose the circumstances you find yourself in".

Sten is a fatalist, believing that the proper role of all people is determined at birth. Most of his comments are terse or abrupt, but he does seem to have at least a little bit of a sense of humor (as demonstrated in some conversations with the Warden's companions) and a fondness for cookies. Sten is a strong, proud and noble warrior who refuses at first to elaborate on discussions regarding his people or his reason for being in Ferelden. If he is not freed the quest is updated indicating that he died by the darkspawn horde. The Warden can choose to have Sten join the party after freeing him from Lothering in the quest The Qunari Prisoner. The Warden can convince him to seek atonement by joining the battle against the Blight, but must find a way to release him from his cage. Sten has been imprisoned for killing a family. Proving himself an honorable and valuable member of the beresaad, Sten earned the Arishok's trust and was entrusted to investigate rumors of a Blight in southern Fereldan. The Arishok dismissed the notion, but it nevertheless startled the Tevinter spy present for the Qunari learning subtlety or political ability presented a worrying thought. The young vanguard believed the mainland could not be taken by force, and the antaam should devote more of its resources to gathering information if they were ever to secure victory in the south. The argument "went on for some time and was notable, not only because Qunari argue so rarely, but because it is unheard of for an officer of any rank to disagree with the Arishok". In the campaign's aftermath, the young beresaad officer voiced concerns to the Arishok regarding the Qunari strategy to Tevinter. The Kathaban was forced to withdraw the fleet to Seheron, and the entire antaam was shaken by the defeat. The Kathaban's campaign initially made great progress, but was dealt a crushing blow when the Tevinter military retaliated en force. Among them was a young karasaad who now commanded an excellent knowledge of the common tongue and even Tevene. The Kathaban of the Qunari navy struck at the Tevinter mainland with a fleet of warships, and the entire beresaad kith was sent with them as a landing force. He couldn't understand how one could tell whether a word was being used as a noun or a verb, and wondered as to which limbs and other body parts were also actions.Īfter disappearing from outside notice for several years, the young Sten-to-be next surfaced during the Qunari assault on Tevinter in 9:12 Dragon.

He interrogated nearly every delegation entering or leaving the port during the three years he was stationed there, and in most cases, his questions pertained to the common tongue.

Hornless Qunari are rare, but a curious Qunari was unheard of. Several Rivaini traders also noted the young soldier in their missives home. The Crow was puzzled, having hardly heard the Qunari talk among themselves let alone a stranger, but indulged his curiosity. The Crow described a hornless boy soldier who watched them with an odd intensity, and inquired to the meaning of "silver" in the common tongue. The first Thedosian records of the soldier who would become Sten of the Beresaad comes from a correspondence between Antiva City and an Antivan Crow writing from Seheron in 9:03 Dragon.
