Description
Ash Stahl is a character from the anime Metallic Rouge. He is a male investigator with brown eyes and brown, ear-length hair, presenting the appearance of an adult. He serves as a detective belonging to the Security Bureau, a veteran who relies heavily on his instincts and legwork, though this intuition is backed by considerable experience.
Stahl's primary motivation throughout the story is his obsessive pursuit of a "red figure" seen at various murder scenes across different locations. This figure is later revealed to be the central character, Metallic Rouge, though this fact is not known to the general public. His fixation on capturing the crimson gladiator is so intense that it frequently leads him to violate regulations, ignore direct orders, and enter crime scenes without authorization.
In terms of personality, Ash Stahl harbors a distinct animosity towards artificial humans known as Neans. He often adopts a cold, biting, and harsh attitude, particularly towards his own partner, a Nean named Noid 262. Despite this prejudice, his relationship with Noid 262 is a key component of his role in the story. Their partnership, while strained by Stahl's prejudice, is complex. Stahl is seen taking Noid 262 along on critical missions, such as when they take Rouge to investigate her origins. In a profound moment, as Noid 262 lies dying from a gunshot wound, he tells Stahl that whenever they were together, he forgot he was a Nean, implying that Stahl treated him with a degree of equality that transcended his stated prejudices.
While Stahl begins as an antagonist figure hunting Rouge, his role evolves as he becomes more directly involved in the central conflict. He is present during key revelations about the Asimov Code, a set of constraints on Neans' free will, and debates surrounding concepts of freedom and enslavement. The death of his partner, Noid 262, who is shot by supposed friendly forces who view Neans as disposable, serves as a critical moment that underscores the harsh realities of the world they inhabit. There is no specific information available about notable combat abilities or special skills beyond his capabilities as a field investigator.
