<p>In Episode 15 of <em>Frieren: Beyond Journey's End</em>, Stark is hired by a nobleman to impersonate his deceased son, in order to keep up morale during some unspecified conflict.</p>
<p>The nobleman bears an uncanny resemblance to Stark's father - he even has the same scar over his right eye - and the deceased son bears an uncanny resemblance to Stark's brother. The nobleman's other son is seen training alone, in an obvious parallel to Stark's own experiences as a child. It's even mentioned that the nobleman originally hails from the same warrior village as Stark. It seems obvious to me that they really are his long-lost father and brother, and I spent the whole episode waiting for that to be revealed... and it wasn't.</p>
<p>What's the deal with them, then? Were they <em>actually</em> Stark's family, or is it just an insane coincidence? And if it is just a coincidence, is this solely to play up the parallel between Stark and the nobleman's youngest son?</p>

I think it would be strange to not recognize your own father. Not to mention there is no mention of Stark having a twin brother which is what would be needed for them to look so alike in age.

In Episode 15 of *Frieren: Beyond Journey's End*, Stark is hired by a nobleman to impersonate his deceased son, in order to keep up morale during some unspecified conflict.

The nobleman bears an uncanny resemblance to Stark's father - he even has the same scar over his right eye - and the deceased son bears an uncanny resemblance to Stark's brother. The nobleman's other son is seen training alone, in an obvious parallel to Stark's own experiences as a child. It's even mentioned that the nobleman originally hails from the same warrior village as Stark. It seems obvious to me that they really are his long-lost father and brother, and I spent the whole episode waiting for that to be revealed... and it wasn't.

What's the deal with them, then? Were they *actually* Stark's family, or is it just an insane coincidence? And if it is just a coincidence, is this solely to play up the parallel between Stark and the nobleman's youngest son?
