==Origin==
King Stefan is a support character in Disney's 1959 animated film "Sleeping Beauty". He is the king of an unnamed European kingdom and Aurora's father. 
King Stefan invites the whole kingdom to celebrate his daughter's birth, even people from abroad such as King Hubert and his son Philip, however, the only person that does not receive an invitation is an evil fairy Maleficent who shows up anyway, insulted by the predicament. Due to King Stefan's decision, his daughter is cursed to die at her 16-th birthday, even though later the good fairies soften the spell to put Aurora into a deep slumber instead. Later in the film, Stefan is put to sleep by the fairies along with the whole kingdom until Aurora is awoken by a true love's kiss.
King Stefan's darker backstory is revealed in the 2014 live action "Maleficent" where he is shown to be power-hungry and cruel, becoming the antagonist of the film. Prior to the events of the original cartoon, Stefan was an orphan who often stole things and who met Maleficent in childhood. The two became best friends for years and on Maleficent's sixteenth birthday Stefan gave her a true love's kiss which signified the new development in their relationship. However, some years later Stefan, who knew that Maleficent was deemed powerful and frightening, stole her wings in order to lie about killing the beast and become the new king. His betrayal turned the fairy into the mistress of evil which then led to her decision to curse Stefan's daughter, and the condition to receive a true love's kiss also stemmed from Stefan's betrayal which pushed Maleficent to seek vengeance.
