Concrete Appearance [ ]

King Stefan has scruffy chin-length hair, a bristles that covers half his face, small eyes, bushy eyebrows and a skinny posture.

Personality [ ]

This version of Stefan is very paranoid, treacherous, manipulative, and obsessed with hunting and killing Maleficent, to the signal where he did not care of seeing his dying wife Queen Leila.

At a young historic period, Stefan had always been honest, ambitious, and enthusiastic. He formed a close friendship with Maleficent, falling in love with her, simply his ambitions eventually led him to cease seeing her and start working for the rex that was her enemy. When the rex announced that whoever killed Maleficent would be his successor, Stefan finally had a run a risk to fulfill his appetite. He hesitated at killing Maleficent at beginning because of their by friendship, but his desire for the throne led him to betray her anyway. The result of this expose was severe; he painfully cut off and stole Maleficent's wings, which ultimately turned her to evil, as she vengefully retaliates by cursing Aurora as the baby out of rage in one case she learned this.

His hatred was spawned from his guilt for stealing her wings, in fear that she would accept her revenge upon him. Every bit seen when Maleficent curses Aurora while he helplessly watches this, Stefan indeed shows his remorse over his past betrayal and begs Maleficent not to kill Aurora, in which Maleficent responded past cursing Aurora to death-like sleep instead of actual death.

Unfortunately, due to his paranoia and guilt for his law-breaking against his former friend, combined with Maleficent'south act of revenge by blasphemous Aurora, Stefan's sheer hatred for Maleficent proved too swell, fifty-fifty greater than Maleficent'south own hatred against him. He becomes intensely violent and extremely cruel, shown at the climax, where he sadistically taunts and tortures Maleficent as presently equally she enters his castle and undoes Aurora'southward curse (though he may never learn this). Therefore, any friendship and dear that he had with Maleficent ultimately dies equally he tries to stab her from backside, leading to his own decease. In fact, his obsessive hatred for Maleficent overruled his beloved for anyone else, fifty-fifty his dying wife and his own daughter, whom he neglects after meeting her for the first time.

History [ ]

King Stefan was initially an orphaned peasant boy who lived in a barn but dreamed of one day living in the castle. As a child, he proved to exist innocent, thoughtlessly kind, accepting in nature, more open-minded, and braver (or more drastic) than other humans as he was willing to venture into Moors to steal a crystal. However, he was caught and cornered past the Tree Warriors. Arriving at the scene, the Moor'southward fairy guardian named Maleficent convinces the boy to come out of hiding (curious to run into what he looked like as she had never seen a human before) despite his fears that the Tree Warriors would kill him for stealing.

Upon seeing her, a young Stefan responds to Maleficent's observation that he's just a boy with how she'south simply a girl. After some prodding, Stefan hands a shining crystal her and she drops it into the water after some exam before guiding him dorsum to the borders. He comments how he would take kept information technology if he'd known she was going to throw it away. Maleficent corrects him, telling him that she was just returning it home. Equally they talked, they bail over their lack of parents and mutual loneliness.

Despite the fairy telling him he shouldn't return as it isn't safe, he is determined to come back in order to meet her. Shaking on it, the boy is instantly contrite when she accidentally burns herself on his fe band and immediately takes it off and flings it into the altitude. Touched that he, a poor peasant male child with then fiddling, would throw away one of his few possessions without hesitation just to avoid pain her, they chop-chop formed a friendship and he tells her how he likes her wings.

They became companions and went on adventures in the Moors, with a young Maleficent even taking him flying. And over time, they grew to honey each other to the signal that he gifted her with the only thing he could afford to give her on her 16th altogether: a truthful dearest's osculation.

Soon after though, Stefan left to seek his fortune and consequently chose to live amongst the humans over existence with Maleficent in the Moors. Years later, it is seen that he winded up working every bit a retainer for King Henry.

After King Henry's defeat past Maleficent and the Forest Army, he contracted an infection and he laid on his deathbed when he gathered his lords and generals where he proclaimed that his kingdom and care of his daughter (marriage) would go to whoever killed the fairy and avenged him. Stefan overheard and left for the Moors, reuniting with his childhood friend and one-time lover after years of separation. He warns her virtually how the rex is now targeting her specifically, begging her to trust him. They talked, communicable up on each other's lives and "the years faded away...and all was as it had been long ago". Maleficent forgave him for "his folly and his ambition," accepting a potable from him equally they cuddled.

Stefan had doctored this drink with a potion that immediately put her into a deep, death-like slumber. However, he was unable to bring himself to kill her, hinting that at the fourth dimension he was unable to cede her life for his ambition. Improvising, he instead uses iron chains to burn and cut off his childhood friend's wings earlier leaving her and fleeing back to the castle to present the amputated limbs as proof that he'd killed the "winged animal". Thereafter, he becomes the new rex alongside with his wife, Queen Leila, and they take a daughter named Aurora.

On the day Aurora is to be christened, Maleficent interrupts the ceremony. Initially, King Stefan tells her that she isn't welcome there and wasn't invited, but can only stand every bit she walks over to give baby Aurora a "souvenir" too. His nervous agitation further confuses Queen Leila, who is ignorant of their history and bewildered by the undertones in Stefan and Maleficent'south back and forth. He watches every bit Maleficent then curses Aurora to fall into "a sleep like death, a slumber from which she volition never awaken " on her 16th birthday by pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel, inspired by one that was among the gifts for the princess. Recognizing the circumstances she gear up for the curse and that this was meant to exist her revenge against him, he begs her non to practice this. Afterward hearing her comment near how she liked him begging, Stefan heeds the unspoken demand and slowly kneels in front end of Maleficent and begs once more. As a final jab at Stefan, she agreeably adds a clause where Aurora could be awoken. By "true honey'due south kiss". Stefan despairs as, at this bespeak, neither Stefan nor Maleficent truly believed such a thing actually exists, therefore raising Stefan'south hopes only to bring them crashing down while publically humiliating him in the process.

To protect Aurora from any further harm, King Stefan sends baby Aurora away to exist raised by the three pixies in a hidden cottage. Meanwhile, he has all the spinning wheels in the kingdom destroyed (with the remains thrown into the dungeons) and proceeds to spend the side by side 16 years on a campaign to pass through the wall of thorns Maleficent raised around the Moors and kill her. The boy who once thoughtlessly threw away his fe ring to forestall Maleficent from getting injure grew into a man who outfitted his castle into a fortress with atomic number 26 weapons and defenses and made extensive strategies to hunt her downwardly and impale her. This included training his soldiers in tactics and iron weapons (shields, nets, chains, spears, etc.) specifically to trap and kill a fairy.

Over fourth dimension, he is "consumed by paranoia and vengeance", devoting all his focus, all his resource, and all his people towards the goal of destroying Maleficent and preventing the expletive. It becomes an obsession for him, and he would spend time gazing at the wings he'd amputated and stolen, at present kept on display in a locked glass box. Erstwhile during those years, Queen Leila contracts an illness and dies, though Rex Stefan shows little reaction or grief. Even when his girl returns, their reunion is abruptly brusque and King Stefan quickly dismisses her in guild to refocus on his boxing plans, having her locked upward in her room for protection.

Afterward Maleficent wakes Aurora with true honey'south kiss, the fairy is ambushed past Stefan and his soldiers. Once the soldiers encircled a disoriented, weakened Maleficent with iron shields, Stefan in his fe armor and outfitted with iron weapons walks through the fire and into the ring. After posturing, he beats, tortures, and taunts her, request her how information technology is to be "a fairy creature without wings in a world where [she] doesn't belong." Nonetheless, the tide is turned when Aurora finds Maleficent's wings, pushing over the case and freeing the struggling limbs that fly themselves back and reattach themselves right as Stefan was delivering the final blow. Wide-eyed in stunned horror, he looks back and forth in atheism between a at present winged Maleficent and his smiling daughter. Gathering his wits, he orders his soldiers to continue the assault, managing at 1 point to grab onto a long chain wrapped around the flying fairy's ankle.

Pulling him off his feet and out the stained glass windows, she flies them around the castle and throws him onto the tiptop of a belfry. They struggle and Maleficent gains the upper mitt, but lets him go and tells him that's over before turning abroad to leave. Unwilling to cease, he attacks her from behind and attempts to strangle her, their struggles resulting in both of them being thrown off the turret. While Maleficent is able to untangle herself from Stefan and terminate her fall, the king falls to his death.

In a deleted scene, Stefan's ambitiousness is emphasized when he delivers a meal to the King'due south bedchambers. Seeing the King's crown, Stefan tries it on and admires himself in the mirror. He's caught by Henry who remarks that it is one thing to wear a crown and some other to own it earlier request him how nighttime his heart is. That the question to ask oneself is what and who you're willing to sacrifice to get what you want, to find what you're capable of and if those things are the worst imaginable and if his heart is black, so he besides could accept a crown 1 mean solar day. The King and so dismiss Stefan with a alert never to touch the crown again. Stefan discovered simply how blackness his heart is and simply how much and how many he'south willing to sacrifice. Ironically, not in pursuit of his childhood dream to go king, only in his all-consuming obsession to destroy his enemy. In the film, this darkness in Stefan's heart is reflected past the darkness of the human kingdom and the castle after the christening, besides equally the virtually ritual savageness in the final boxing.

Another thing to note is that in the terminal battle, Aurora is roughly pulled abroad by the soldiers and shoved aside/out of the style when trying to pull the iron net off her godmother. Their commonage focus is to destroy Maleficent and no attention is paid to their princess's rubber. Ironically, after overcoming the curse and this initially being nearly her protection, this inattention leads to Aurora almost being crushed by falling droppings a few times in the ensuing battle. Only Maleficent notices the danger and calls for her to run. Whether or not Stefan (who was likely overseeing the battle before he stepped into the ring) saw Aurora in danger or not, his attitude and priorities reflect in his soldiers and their training. While this may have started out as a campaign to protect his girl, Stefan's obsession and steady turn down brand information technology so that neither Aurora, her female parent, nor the kingdom is of priority to Stefan anymore by the time Aurora returns. He and Maleficent are reflections of each other in that they both allowed vengeance to consume them, pain others as collateral damage and (literal) darkening both of their kingdoms equally a issue. Still, while Maleficent was able to let go of her grudge and walk abroad at the finish when she literally had him by the pharynx, his inability to allow get of his own grudge and obsession led to the final fall and his death. This was a cycle that was fueled by Rex Henry's greed but started by the folly of Stefan's appetite and betrayal.

Origin [ ]

Young Stefan

Almost nada is known most King Stefan's origin. As a child, Stefan was a peasant. His parents died former during his babyhood prior to the events of the movie. When he first met Maleficent, the orphaned peasant boy Stefan told her that he lived in a befouled. He besides said that ane day he would live in Rex Henry's Castle.

Maleficent [ ]

I day, the Moors was disturbed past the presence of a young peasant boy named Stefan, who had escaped there after stealing a precious gem from the human kingdom. As the Tree Warriors cornered him, Maleficent showed up and told him to hand over the stolen precious stone, which he reluctantly does after realizing information technology was from a pool filled with jewels within the Moors. After tossing it into the water, she escorted Stefan to the borders of the Moors. They admit to each other that they are both orphans whose parents are dead, and meeting each other is forbidden to both their worlds.

However, the ii of them eventually get the best of friends and lovers. On Maleficent's 16th birthday, equally a gift, Stefan showed her truthful love's buss. Only it was never meant to exist.

Over the next couple of years, Stefan stopped visiting the Moors for some reason, and due to the threatening attacks on the Moors by the ruthless King Henry, Maleficent becomes her homeland'due south sworn protector. With the wood regular army by her side, she engaged the King's army in battle, defeating them and wounding the King. On his deathbed, the Rex demanded to be avenged and promises whoever kills Maleficent shall become the new king and marry his daughter Lelia. Information technology is revealed that Stefan has become i of the male monarch's servants and wanting to merits the throne, he journeys to the Moors to find Maleficent.

The two are reunited and spend the night together like they used to. Stefan tricks her into taking a drink that puts her to sleep and subsequently she falls into her slumber, Stefan makes the endeavor to kill her. Withal, he hesitates and just cannot bring himself to do it. And so instead, he cuts off her wings using atomic number 26 and presents them to the dying king, leaving Maleficent in agony over what has happened to her wings.

One day she comes across a farmer who has captured a raven she met earlier at the abandoned castle. Taking pity over the small bird, she turns the raven into a man to aid him rising and come free from the internet on him. After the farmer runs away in fear, Maleficent approaches the homo bird who introduces himself as Diaval. Since she saved him he offers to exist her humble retainer and Maleficent gives him his first task to find Stefan.

Diaval flies to the castle and witnesses Stefan being crowned king, with Princess Leila, the daughter of King Henry, becoming his wife and queen. When he informs Maleficent of what he has learned, she becomes enraged. She returns to the Moors as night clouds loom across the forest, then subsequently roots form a throne, Maleficent sits there claiming herself as the Evil Queen of the Moors.

One day Queen Leila gives birth to a girl and she is named Aurora. A royal christening is taken place at the castle and the three pixies Knotgrass, Thistlewit and Flittle gift the baby princess with 3 magical gifts.

So but before Flittle could nowadays her gift, Maleficent shows up. Still disgusted by what Stefan did to her and a little distressed of not receiving an invitation, she curses the princess to fall into a "sleep like death" by the prick of a finger on the spindle of a spinning bike on her sixteenth birthday. Nonetheless, when Stefan begs her to spare his daughter, Maleficent besides includes that the curse can be lifted past truthful love'due south osculation and no ability on earth tin change information technology.

Stefan had every spinning bike in the kingdom burned and locked away in the deepest dungeon in the castle. He as well had the 3 pixies have Aurora into hiding where they have her to an onetime cottage and pose as her 3 aunts. His paranoia and obsession with Maleficent are so strong, that he doesn't care that his queen dies in the nighttime from a sickness.

King Stefan

Over the next sixteen years, he became extremely paranoid and he was obsessed with hunting Maleficent down, so obsessed that he didn't care that his queen was gravely ill and on the verge of death.

On the twenty-four hours before Aurora's sixteenth altogether, Aurora has decided to stay in the Moors with Maleficent (whom she thinks is her fairy godmother). As Aurora returns home she meets Prince Phillip, and it instantly becomes love at kickoff site. Diaval sees him every bit the key to lift the curse only Maleficent disagrees as there is no such thing as true dear (the latter describing her first love turned hatred by Stefan when he cut off her wings). However, afterward the pixies reveal the truth to Aurora, she sadly returns to her father later on Maleficent admits the truth of her identity. Feeling aback, she decides to take the chance that truthful love volition be her only take a chance to live and goes looking for Phillip.

Later on sixteen years, Stefan meets his girl. He coldly looks at her and is furious past the pixies' failure as they were supposed to bring her back the twenty-four hour period after her 16th birthday. He has her locked up in her room and prepares for Maleficent to make it.

As night draws, Maleficent and Diaval sneak inside the castle with Phillip and bring him to the sleeping Aurora. Hiding in the shadows, she watches equally Phillip approaches her and leans over to kiss her. Unfortunately, nothing happens, Aurora remains comatose. Afterwards the Pixies drag Phillip out to observe someone else to kiss her, Maleficent comes out of hiding and looks sadly upon what she has done. She was then blinded past hatred and revenge she forgot to love and happiness until she met Aurora who helped her find her happiness over again. And so in tears, she kisses Aurora on the forehead and bids her goodbye but earlier she tin even leave, a miracle happens, Aurora wakes up and is delighted to encounter her Fairy Godmother. Maleficent and Aurora's strong friendship was the truest love that can ever be.

As the 3 of them attempt to sneak out of the castle and back to the Moors, Maleficent is captured by Stefan's men, Aurora tries to save her but the castle guards overpower her and Diaval. Maleficent turns him into a dragon and he manages to fight off the guards and free Maleficent. Aurora flees equally Maleficent and Diaval fight the guards, but they quickly go pinned down as Stefan enters the scene. Stefan takes his time killing Maleficent past brutally torturing her. So, after pulling out his sword, he prepares to cease her off but but before he tin kill her, Maleficent's wings return to her later Aurora frees them.

With her wings back, she is able to fly and gratuitous Diaval. Maleficent and Diaval easily take down Stefan's guards, leaving but the treacherous male monarch standing. She easily overpowers Stefan and carries him onto a belfry. Maleficent beats him upwards and is on the verge of killing him, merely she spares him claiming, "Information technology'due south over." Blinded by his overwhelming pride and seething rage, Stefan refuses to accept his defeat and attacks Maleficent once more in one case her back is turned. The two fall from the tower, just Maleficent manages to get airborne while Stefan falls to his death, ending his tyranny forever.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil [ ]

Because of his death in the offset film, King Stefan does not return in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, only is briefly mentioned past Queen Ingrith, when she tells how Aurora became the current Queen. Information technology'southward revealed that in the five years post-obit his expiry, Stefan'southward castle has been inhabitated past the town, whom Aurora allowed to reside there as it was never her abode and that she is the Queen of the Moors.

Despite the fact it was Stefan who turned Maleficent evil through his betrayal, the fallen king was perceived as martyr and victim every bit much as Ingrith's late blood brother whom killed during an expedition at Moors long ago, possibly by powerful defenses placed by Maleficent herself. Maleficent was initially reluctant to bless Aurora and Prince Phillip'due south matrimony out of fright that tragedy between her and Stefan in the by repeated in both of them. When the war between Night Fey, faeries of Moors, and human kingdoms ensued, the honey and compassion between Maleficent and Aurora managed to stop the disharmonize altogether, with Ingrith is spared from the same fate of Stefan by being cursed into a goat where it can but cleaved once she learns from her errors.
