> "*...You're right. All of you. We've come too far to let up now. We're all here for one reason and one reason alone; to restore peace and order to our broken world. We've all lost something because of Yharim, families, friends, homes. Some of us have lost everything. But the one thing he could never take from us is our comradery. The more the world has beaten us down, the stronger we've risen back up to face it head on. It wasn't easy, and boy it wasn't fun either, but if that's what it takes to fix a dying world, then we press through to the end, no matter what. So who's with me?*"

**Stephanos Anasteas**, better known as **Steve** is one of the protagonists of the story, along with Michael and Bob. He can be considered the swordsman of the group.

## Also Known As

* Steve
* Steven
* The Swordsman

## Backstory

Steve is the adopted brother of Calamitas, raised a family known for their mastery of Brimstone magic. Steve was raised alongside Calamitas, and taught the arts of his people's native form of magic, but was later discovered to be unable to perform such magic, and, at the age of 5, was thrown out of the house and denied by his parents to be related to them. Steve would go on to live for centuries roaming the lands, seemingly unable to age, and unable to recall his past as his memory would fade over time. Eventually, he would become nothing more than a hermit, living in a shack with little to do aside from hunt and gather the various plants and animals the world provided him.

## Role

### Pre-Hardmode Arc

Steve, as one of the protagonists, plays a major role in the first arc. He first appeared to save Michael from a Cnidrion attack, then subsequently encountering Bob, who tells them of the looming threat over the world that is Jungle Tyrant Yharim. Since then, Steve had been the barbarian of the group, typically acting before thinking, but skilled in swordplay. He had contributed majorly to the defeat of the Desert Scourge, the Eye of Cthulhu, Skeletron, and the Queen Bee, among others. He had also helped defeat the Wall of Flesh, releasing the true power of light and darkness upon the world.

### Hardmode Arc

In the second arc, Steve retains his important role as a main protagonist. However, with the new creatures he had been made to face, Steve begins to question if winning this war would be as easy as he initially thought. Throughout the arc, Steve has been slowly getting over his uncivilized habits, in attempt to prove to the others he can still be a valuable asset to the team.

Steve would also contribute to the defeat of Cryogen, the Titan, the Destroyer, the Twins, Skeletron Prime, the Calamitas Clone, and Plantera, among others.

## Relationships

* **Yharim**: Steve sees Yharim as the ultimate enemy, the final obstacle he must eventually face. Having heard descriptions of Yharim from many of the Tyrant's victims, Steve has been led to believe Yharim is nothing but evil, the embodiment of malevolent actions under a mask and suit of armor. Having been abandoned, and left for most his life without purpose, Steve believes it's his destiny for his final action to be to kill this man.
* **Michael**: Steve initially respected Michael as simply a friend. Being mostly silent during conversations, he typically relies on Michael to do the talking. However, throughout their travels, he has become more and more appreciative of Michael's support, to the point where he would he would gladly sacrifice his own life to save his friend's.
* **Bob**: Steve respects Bob as a friend. Ever since the latter retired arms, Steve has slowly grown more and more distant from him.
* **Seony**: Steve respects Seony as an ally. He is slightly skeptical of her for her former alliance to the enemy, but also understands her current struggles, to an extent.
* **Sylia Viridia**: Steve sees Sylia as an ally and a friend. He doesn't often think much about her, but typically appreciates her company...unless she's yelling at him that is. He sees her as a strong and independent fighter, despite that not always necessarily being the case.
* **Mercurius**: In a similar boat as Seony, Steve respects Mercurius as an ally, or, more specifically, as a friend (Michael)'s friend.
* **Ira Sanguinos**: Despite being a brother of Calamitas, Steve sees her as more of a distant ally than a sibling. He is skeptical of her for her former alliance to Yharim directly, and, for that reason, isn't the most concerned about her well being. However, the longer the two have been roped together, the more their brief sibling bond would manage to reignite.
* **The Devourer of Gods**: Although only having briefly met the Devourer, Steve despises him for reasons mostly unknown.
