Stark -love/hate

“I feel they brought him on board to be Zahn’s love intrest but when she left it was like what do they do with him.”
I agree wholeheartedly with you there. For a while he floundered like a fish out of water. But recently, like Monkey points out, he has been put to better use. I enjoy his love/hate relationship with Rygel; it’s interesting and funny to see them conspire to overcome obstacles.

“I just …I dunno I just think that Stark is a relatively weak character with so much more potential. I kind of wished that they would have left him hooked up to Talyn at least that would have given him a ‘purpose’.”
Until quite recently, I would agree with your first statement. Stark was a rather weak (albeit well-acted) character…but if he continues to develop his relationship with Rygel (and now Crais) I think he will better be able to find his place. As for the second part, I disagree. Although it WOULD have gaven him a DEFINATIVE purpose, the Stark that was hooked up to Talyn didn’t provide the much-needed comic relief that a normal Stark provides.
In addition, I think Stark has found another place as the “spiritual leader” of the crew. He has taken over where Xan left (with her priestess powers with her). It took him a while to start acting as this, like I mentioned in my first response.
