StimStim has not yet been described in the videos or chapters except that he wears a red checkered tunic that was given to him as a baby, as well as a pair of headphones that help with auditory sensitivity. Stim is on the spectrum and is uncomfortable at times with eye contact. He also has special interest in the Fey and Occult that is seen when the party has encountered them on their journeys. He is the son of Rhythm and Fitz, however, his biological father is Pyxathor Sunclaw.

Stim was raised in an orphanage in the Rasier empire from the time he was a baby. For several years, he grew up there and we see he was bullied by some of the other children for his avoidance and misunderstanding of social cues. He did have some solace in this time in the form of a watchful guardian (secretly Fitz) that would come to him. Whether to help him by sewing a hole in his tunic, helping to deal with the bullies, fixing his headphones to dampen sound and play music, or by leaving him with some gold. When he was 6 years old, a passing party from the Red Giants group noticed him being bullied by the others. They asked if he wanted to join them on their journey and Stim gladly agreed.

While traveling together, the party taught him all they could about survival, using weapons, and stealth. Over time, he had mastered these skills. He loved his found family and they were happy. Until, a noble decided to capture the party for failing a mission, having them imprisoned. Stim was almost taken as well until the party told the noble that he was not with them, that they had simply found him on the street. Stim was left alone and his family was taken. Though they were taken from him, he hoped to be reunited again.

Some years pass and after Stim has joined the Chaos Crew, the party comes across a scene where another party is being publicly punished for failing a mission. At this point, Stim realizes this is his family. He rushes in to rescue them but they are all overcome by the noble and his men. The noble who imprisoned Stim's family was none other than Pyxathor. Stim challenges Pyxathor for everyone's freedom but is ultimately defeated and dies from the critical blow. Stim's family is again imprisoned but his party is freed. Quintin convinces the others to help him get Stim to his hometown so that the cleric, Levvun, may have a chance to revive him. Though he is brought back, while in the afterlife, Stim spoke with Branisla who offered a pact for his safe return.
