Stane

Stane (ステイネ, Suteine) is a former student and current teacher of the Athelney School of Nen and Abilities.

Appearance
Stane is a tall man of pale skin and shoulder-length black hair, with equally dark eyes.

He is always dressing in all black outfits.

Personality
Always possessing a stern and unfriendly look on his face, Stane's personality is considered by many to be unpleasant. Like Merlinna McGinn, he is able to keep his entire class silent and obedient with no effort, but differently from her, tends to openly intimidate, and to an extent, bully his students into this behavior. He is also cold and extremely serious about his job, hating things such as being interrupted and misbehaving students; when met with those, he quickly becomes angry and oblivious to limits, even reaching the point where he publicly humiliates the students.

Normally, though, Stane is very level-headed, intelligent and commanding. Most students secretly loathe him, considering him a bitter and grumpy dictator, but are too intimidated by his presence to confront him about it. Stane can also be sarcastic and often holds grudges against people; he can also be judgmental, which causes him to underestimate or have false impressions of people. Stane acts especially spiteful towards those he dislikes. He is also really antisocial and lonely, but does not mind that; he treats all his former staff with seemingly respect and apathy.

Despite occasionally lashing out, he thinks that displaying clear emotions, especially fear, is a weak act, and those who do it are weak people who should be ashamed of themselves. Calculating and analytical, Stane can be considered to be biased, as sometimes, he favors students of his own Nen type, Transmutation, over students from the other Towers. He especially resented and was harsh to Specialists, finding them to be overly full of themselves, arrogant and attention-seeking. Students describe detention with Stane to be the worst kind of detention, as he does not allow them to read, study, chat with each other or sleep.
