Biography
Steven A. Starphase (Japanese: スティーブン・Ａ・スターフェイズ, Hepburn: Sutībun A Sutāfeizu)
Steven was discussing the situation of Leo's kidnapping and Zapp's hospitalization with Klaus. Initially overwhelmed by his leader's fierce expression, he realizes Klaus has been worrying himself sick and speculates he has a dozen ulcers from nerves. After attempting to put the man at ease, he receives a report from the hospital and realizes Zapp tagged the wagon that took Leo and has been extending the thread with blood. Instructing Chain to pursue, he and Klaus pile into Gilbert's car and take off down the street, Steven casually flipping passing drivers off before urging Klaus to destroy the crashed wagon.
Later on, he was inquiring of Gilbert as to why Leo is sleeping in Klaus' office, commenting on the boy's naiveté at refusing additional pay due to 'not wanting special treatment'. When Zapp comes in, covered in blood from a struggle, he brings up the existence of the drug Angel Scale and mentions the two monomaniacal Gatekeepers responsible for screening the gates. Following the news report detailing the Attack on the U.S President, Steven is among those intimidated by Klaus' expression, only to react humorously when it's revealed he was playing Prosfair.
During a Libra Party, Steven is seen as part of a 'Cabal', chatting amiably with Klaus and several other Libra members, during which time K.K vocally announces her distrust for him, calling him scarface. When Leo unwittingly reveals he saw the Aura of a Blood Breed in the Subway, putting everyone on edge, Steven pulls out a color coded sheet to confirm the color of said Aura. He is later deployed along with K.K, to the latter's ire, and manages to defeat her ghouls before being soundly beaten by the vampires. As the Elder mocks them for trying to use blood correctly, Steven stalls for time by implying that the ones with the fangs to reach them will arrive shortly, allowing Klaus to come up behind them, crush Antonio and seal the Elder with his pattern 999.
Overview

On the surface, he was seemingly laid back where he had the air of a suave businessman with him always having a quip or sardonic comment to make about the situation.
Similar to Klaus, he was noted for being a gentleman.
He had a more ruthless side where he was not above using his connections to make 'problems' disappear.
Powers and abilities
He was a practitioner in the art of Esmeralda Blood Freeze (エスメラルダ式血凍道 Esumeraruda-shiki Kettōdō?) that allowed him to decease the temperature of his blood in order to freeze his targets with the techniques spoken in Spanish.
Among the techniques known to him included:
- Avión del Cero Absoluto (絶対零度の地平アヴィオンデルセロアブソルート Avion deru Sero Abusorūto?, literally "Plane of Absolute Zero") : Steven stands firm and freezes the entire ground.
- Lanza del Cero Absoluto (絶対零度の槍ランサデルセロアブソルート Ransa deru Sero Abusorūto?, literally "Lance of Absolute Zero") : A long-ranged based attack that Steven either summons or launches spears of ice.
- Escudo del Cero Absoluto (絶対零度の盾エスクードデルセロアブソルート Esukūdo deru Sero Abusorūto?, literally "Shield of Absolute Zero") : Steven summons a giant block of ice which he uses as a shield or barrier.

This technique is particularly subtle and the target may very well not notice Steven's blood entering them until he freezes them, sometimes several hours later.
