Sthalmann, aka "Rostnstal", is the disgraced former Commodore preceding Reyner. 15 years ago, before Merlwyb was Admiral, Sthalmann was the last Admiral's right hand man. However, when Captain Hyllfyr of the Bloody Executioners made his first bid at the Admiralcy, he tried to cripple the current regime. So he, with the help of the Kraken's Arms, framed Sthalmann to disgrace the Admiral's strongest leader.
Sthalmann's pupil, Reyner replaced him as Commodore, and Sthalmann was forced out of Limsa. He took the name Rostnstal and became a drunkard trying to find evidence of his frame up to clear his name.
He was a rather central character to the 1.0 Limsa MSQ and the 1.0 MRD questline, however his story arc was never completed. He's most famously known for the 1.0 Limsa opening as the Roegadyn who pulls out the musket and shoots the aurelias. Later, when the Player Character tries to joins the Knights of the Baracuda, they hand the PC a musket to shoot. Having never held a musket, the PC imitates Sthalmann's style, causing Reyner to freak out and deny you acceptance into Limsa's navy because of your stance.
