==History==
Orhaft supposedly earned xer name "Stoneback" by being stabbed in the back with a dagger and not noticing it for hours. When Niko Aris heard this story from Birgi, they severely doubted its authenticity saying such a thing would be impossible.
While Niko was trying to stop the brawl between the Omenseekers and Kannah that was instigated by Birgi, Orhaft Stoneback remained aboard xer ship, away from the conflict on the shore. When Niko arrived to inform Orhaft and Fynn about the fight, Orhaft's focus shifted to the greater threat posed by the impending cosmic events - an invasion of Starnheim by the World Serpent, Koma. 
Orhaft and Niko engaged in a tense conversation about the captured Valkyrie Avtyr and the dangerous implications of trapping such a being. Despite the tensions, Orhaft agreed to assist Niko in traveling to Starnheim to warn its inhabitants about the potential catastrophe. Using xer magical abilities, Orhaft guided a ship carrying Niko through an Omenpath, enabling Niko to cross over into Starnheim in the flesh.
