Jorhan Brimve Stahl, also known as Stahl, is the secondary antagonist of the Killzone franchise. He is the unseen antagonist of Killzone and Killzone 2, the main antagonist of Killzone 3 and its novelization Killzone: Ascendancy and one of the two main antagonists (alongside Thomas Sinclair) of Killzone Shadow Fall.
He is the son of Khage Stahl and the namesake chairman of Stahl Arms, a weapons manufacturer in Helghan as means to bolster the Helghan military's firepower to gain revenge against his mortal enemies, the ISA.
On the inside Stahl is shown to have a great deal of disillusionment towards the Helghast government and had plans to stage a coup d'état in order to become the new Autarch and rule it for himself. He is the arch-rival of Orlock, battling for the Autarch position after Visari's death, to which Stahl eventually betrayed him at the end.
He is voiced by Malcolm McDowell (who also voiced Dr. Calico in Bolt: The Video Game, Zarm in Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Death in the Netflix adaptation of Castlevania and Kesslee in Tank Girl) in Killzone 3 and Gideon Emery in Killzone Shadow Fall.
What Makes Him Pure Evil[]
In General[]
- Stahl doesn't have loyalty nor concern to begin with, as shown when he simply callously betrays and murders Orlock in Killzone 3, when the latter rightfully warned him that his actions would mean the end of Helghast, as a whole. He also is not loyal towards Vladko Tyran, who only mocks him when Lucas Kellan snuck into his own base and subsequently uncovered his plans of genocide.
- Has no regards for innocent lives that would be perished from his own plans of genocide and destruction against the human race.
- Used the Helghast and his own army as fodder, in his own delusion that they have to constantly fight against his own enemies, regardless of the massive casualties that would ensue.
Killzone: Ascendancy[]
- Blackmailed Senator Kuisma into doing his own bidding by attempting to expose his bizarre adoration towards young boys, if he does not follow his own demands.
Killzone 3[]
- Coldly executed a prisoner of war on live television in order to make Narville talk regarding his team's false execution.
- Invented a new Petrusite-powered weapon, in his plans to destroy Earth and commit genocide on its inhabitants.
- Betrayed Orlock upon reaching the space station's elevator, before coldly telling him that he has plans to destroy Earth and kill everyone else in there, instead of conquering it like how Orlock envisioned it, before Stahl violently kills him with his own arc cannon.
- Directly caused the Terracide after his Petrusite-powered ship, the Khage, crash-landed onto the surface of Helghan, killing one billion in total. While he seems to be deeply angered at the ISA's involvement in destroying his ship during the climactic battle, as well as most Helghast "killed" by Tomas Sevchenko and Rico Velasquez, Stahl clearly shows absolutely no remorse for the innocent lives he took, as he mentioned in Shadow Fall that "the weak persished" during the Terracide, thus making him complicit to the genocide of his own people. It shows that he only values his own life and only uses the Terracide as a half-baked excuse to plot another genocide against the Vektans and New Helghasts, half-breed or not, as a whole.
Killzone Shadow Fall[]
- Funded the terrorist organization Black Hand in the shadows and aided its leader Tyran in order to unleash terrorist attacks within Vekta. This is all done out of pragmatism than genuine loyalty.
- Sided with the rogue ISA scientist Hillary Massar by using her bioweapon that would exterminate both humans and half-breeds, thereby attempting to commit genocide to humanity on Vekta with it.
- Secretly amassed his own army of machines and soldiers in the ruins of Helghan in his final push against the Vektan soil. It was done as a last-ditch effort to massacre the entire Vektan population, innocent or not, in an act of retaliation.
- Even after his demise at the hands of Thomas Sinclair, his goal would posthumously be attempted by Sinclair at the finale, when the latter attempted to delusionally convince the Vektans to exterminate the Helghast with the Red Dust, consequently deciding to not only take over the Wall's eastern half, but also planning to take over all of Vekta as a whole.
