Have no idea what his purpose is. Maybe it's just to flesh out Stormwind, make it appear as if there's more inhabitants.

I wonder if he and Nathan Stockton are Christi Stockton's kids. Christi runs the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran. So I think that Christi came home to SW (though we don't see her, as far as I know) after WotLK was over, got busy with her husband, and popped out Nathan, who was added at the beginning of Cataclysm. Then she popped out Tyler in time for MoP. Although it's kind of weird that Tyler is higher level than Nathan.

There's a whole bunch of Stocktons all around Azeroth.
The origin of the Stockton family seems to be Lordaeron, since Auctioneer Stockton is an undead auctioneer working in Undercity.
Nathan Stockton is a child who runs around the Trade District of Stormwind and so is Tyler Stockton. It is suspected that these boys are actually the children of Christi Stockton who works as a wine vendor in Dalaran.
There are also Marsha Stockton and Ann Stockton in the Shrine of the Seven Stars in Pandaria. Ann is a female dwarf. It seems that she and Marsha are in a homosexual relationship and got married.

It is possible that Auctioneer Stockton was the husband of Christi Stockton with Tyler and Nathan as their children. Perhaps he didn't survive the outburst of the plague that transformed Lordaeron into the Plaguelands that we know today. It could be possible that the family tried to escape the plague and got separated on their escape. If that is the case Christi could've made it to Dalaran which then was located in the Hillsbrad Foothills.
The interesting thing about Marsha is her clothing. She wears the same robe as Lisan Pierce, Janey Anship, Suzanne (just a darker shade of blue) and Archmage Malin (a red and black version of the robe) who can be seen near the Wizard's Sanctum in the Mage Quarter of Stormwind City nearly at all times.
Christi and Marsha are both somehow related to Dalaran/the Kirin Tor. Perhaps these two made it together on their escape from Lordaeron to Dalaran. Marsha became an apprentice or even a mage of the Kirin Tor while Christi found work as a wine merchant in the city. When decisions where made to transfer Dalaran to Northrend to deal with the threat of Arthas as the Lich King Marsha and other apprentices/mages may have become orders to continue their studies in Stormwind.
Whereever Nathan and Tyler where at that time I don't know but I guess at some point they were sent to the orphanage in Stormwind. Marsha, Tyler and Nathan could've met then in Stormwind but somehow they didn't or otherwise the children would live with their mother by now. Since Marsha can be found in the Shrine of the Seven Stars it's possible that she joined the campaign to Pandaria and then met Ann who she then married.
Christi and Marsha may think they are the only ones of the family who survived the escape from Lordaeron and so do Nathan and Tyler.

What do you think about that conclusion? Let's try to solve the relationships further!
