Sten is a warrior of the Beresaad, the vanguard of the Qunari people. He is a stoic and disciplined man with a strong code of ethics, and the way he treats others depends on whether or not they have his respect, which he does not give easily. He is not a typical Qunari as he was born without horns. As with all Qunari, "Sten" is not a name; rather, it is a descriptor for rank and role. He is a potential companion to the Warden and can only be recruited in Lothering.
