Stefan Van Duisburg was ditch delivered by a drab on dark and stormy night. His mother was a she-witch and his father was the King of Monravia, but he will never know his true ancestry, and is doomed to wander the earth, seeking to bring glory to his beloved goddess and expiate the sins of his forbears.
He was raised by elk.
He is a courageous man of great energy but little wisdom. His faithful pet Behemoth died repeatedly and, eventually, finally. His newest pet (Pumba, a trojan horse) is a great source of comfort during his lonely journeys, and large amounts of beer seem to provide solace when Stefan finds himself in town.
Stefan fights nobly in the arena but is hampered by the comparative poverty of his Goddess compared to some others. He does not let this discourage him and listens faithfully to Her commands, at least 10% of the time.
One day Stefan van Duisburg hopes to find a nice heroine, settle down and raise some children. His timetable includes much smiting and bloodshed, but little bathing, so his chances for romance are limited.
