Stalvan Mistmantle is an undead noble with a bloodied past. He was an instructor at the Moonbrook schoolhouse, and also worked as a personal tutor. He eventually developed an indecent attraction to one of his students, a young woman named Tilloa. Stalvan imagined a future with this girl, but her future groom was already arranged by her parents. Tilloa gave hints to Stalvan that she had interest in him, until one day she appeared before him with a young man, holding hands. Tilloa then casually insulted Stalvan by comparing him to an old uncle, which infuriated Stalvan. It is unclear exactly what happened, but it was called 'a massacre' by some of the people you talk to during your quest to uncover the legend of Stalvan.
Stalvan seems to have butchered Tilloa and her young groom-to-be with an axe, and quite possibly her entire family as well. In his notes, he claims that the blood he spilt paled in comparison to the tears he had shed. He then carefully hid the bodies and retreated back to his home north-east of Darkshire, and remained there until the darkness crept into Duskwood and consumed him. He now resides in Manor Mistmantle, lonely and mad, hungering for more revenge on any person who dares come near.
The weapon Stalvan's Reaper ( http://www.thottbot.com/?i=11704 ) is possibly the axe he used to kill his victims.
