Stefan Karl, or Stephen I of Haense (High Imperial: Stephanus Carolus; Hansetian: Stefan Karl) was the fifth King of Hanseti and Ruska of the House of Barbanov, following his brother's death to a deadly bout of measles. Considered a national hero of Haense and one of the greatest Kings of the Dual Monarchy, Stephen was voted king (following the Greyspine Rebellion and its success at the Second Battle of the Rothswood) by the National Duma in a landslide victory. As monarch, his reformations turned Haense from an imperial backwater into the most powerful vassal of the Empire both in military and size. His deals with the Prince of Pruvia left Stephen master of a sizable fortune, advancing himself as one of the richest peers within the empire.
While a national hero of Haense and the Highlander people of the Empire, his meddling in imperial affairs which lead to the death of Emperor John V and subsequent abdication of the regent Robert of Marna left him, according to the words of Prince Philip Owyn "... a deviant to the Imperial State and a foe to all humanity."
