Stuart Stank

Stuart Stank is one of the main protagonists to appear in the first Realm of Tears film. As well as being a close friend of Doney Danko I, he is known for his use of the powerful Stankscythe blade. Stuart Stank is portrayed by Kyle Walsh.

Early life
Stuart Stank was born in the year 1948 in the Earth Realm to parents David and Margaret Stank. In his early life he attended the School of Tears, and graduated at the age of 14. Since he was the last surviving member of the Stank family, he parents felt it important that he was honored with the gift of their family blade, the Stankscythe. Soon after graduating he became acquainted with Doney Danko I, whom he would come to regard as one of his closest friends. Over time Stuart became increasingly interested in the Realm of Tears, which was a cause of great concern for his parents. However, his focus was only intensified when in the year 1967 both of his parents were found dead, with no reasonable explanation ever uncovered.

As Stuart's focus morphed into obsession, his friend Doney became concerned. In the lead up to his disappearance, Stuart published the majority of his findings surrounding the Realm of Tears in the book The Devil Created the Universe: A Family-Friendly Exposé of the Truth Behind the Mystery of the Realm of Tears, which was generally unpopular amongst scholars of mythology. This response led Stuart to fall into a deep state of insecurity, and he began to consider entering the Realm of Tears, though was eventually dissuaded by Doney. Despite this, such an action would become necessary no more than a few years later.

Appearances
Stuart Stank appears as one of the primary protagonists in Realm of Tears. A close friend to Doney Danko I, he is quick to join him when Bernsteene kidnaps his ex-girlfriend and takes her to the Realm of Tears. Curiously, it is Stuart who first makes Doney aware of Glynnis Groovy's kidnapping, and who advises him that they should "go rescue her" from the Dark Lord's Lair, even though Stuart was not present at the time of Glynnis's kidnapping, or even her breakup with Doney, for that matter. Following this brief interaction, Stank and Danko waste no time in traversing Realms to the Realm of Tears. Later on, after encountering and defeating Bernsteene, Stank is unexpectedly betrayed by Vicky Von Von and killed.
