Saxon Nobles
Alfred von Stolzenberg
20 years old
Alfred may very well be the greatest tactician currently alive in Germany. He is widely hailed as a brilliant tactician, and he has tremendous natural talent in the martial way of life as well. Indeed, were it not for the fact that Alfred is a very lazy man, there would be no question that von Stolzenberg is the best soldier of the generation. Alfred is, as noted, quite lazy, and he is very honest about it. He has more than once refused to engage in tasks he considered beneath him, and stated that his only reason for refusing to do them was because he didn't feel like it. Were Alfred not such a charming person, he might have been beheaded by now for his insolence...
Godwin Billung
20 years old
Godwin is the eldest son of the head of the Billung family. Like many others of his family, Godwin has been marked with the hunched back. His relative ugliness has served to make him a very modest man, and the ridicule he endured when growing up has made him very concerned about fairness as an adult. Godwin has great natural talent, but recieved a substandard court education as a child because of his unsightliness.
Cuthbert von Daun
24 years old
Cuthbert is a very clever and sly man. Educated in the court of his father, Cuthbert delights in spinning elaborate falsehoods and inflicting suffering on those that draw his displeasure. He is said to have a great natural aptitude for manipulating the court and using subtle methods to ensure his will. Cuthbert is not well-liked, but is widely feared as a dangerous enemy.
Ulf Gerbod
18 years old
Ulf is an unaccomplished young man from a powerful and influential family. He has begun to show signs of stress from the tremendous expectations his family has placed on him, and is very eager to prove his worth. Some might say that Ulf is too eager, for he is known to rush into things without thinking them through. While Ulf is rash of mind, he is at least eager to take care of himself and has never been known to indulge over much in wine or food.
