Steb was a corporal in the Toll's City garrison. He was in the same squad as Sater and helped transport six ancient statues from their burial place to a warded storage room in the city's keep. Unlike the rest of the soldiers involved, Steb did not partake in a ritual cleansing at Soleil's temple afterwards. While picking his nose with a dagger, a door opened suddenly in his face driving the blade deep into his brain.
