Viktor Maksimilion Vonhof Baumstein Freitag III, ruler of the Aevratha Empire, is a powerful man- some say the most powerful man in the world. He is a strong and tested battle-leader, a strategic and tactical director who has masterminded logistical concerns across an entire empire, and an artist at manipulating public opinion and intrapersonal interaction. Drawing his personal attention brings with it intense scrutiny, and incredible opportunity to win or ruin a reputation forever.
Aged in his early fifties, he is a man still in the prime of his life. His hair and beard have begun to grey in the most dignified way, and he surrounds himself with incredible finery, usually dressing in deep crimson and gold velvets to match the heraldry of his empire. He has an extensive entourage at all times - a dozen veteran knights bearing baroque gilt-inlaid armour, a cadre of law scribes, seneschals and errand-servants, a trio of mages, and others willing to act on a moment's notice to serve his every will. His word can make a man's fortune or cost his head. He is, in short, every thing an Emperor wishes to be and more. He has but one flaw- he was blinded in battle against a massive horde of werewolves which threatened his northern border. Although he emerged triumphant and the lycanthropes were hunted to seeming extinction, he was grievously wounded, and lost sight in both eyes. Now, some decisions he makes and laws he passes seem incomplete or rushed somehow. He occasionally snarls when ordinarily he would show mercy and kindness. Those close to him say he is a changed man- and there are but the briefest whispers of treason against him, efforts to take his throne and divide his tremendous empire. Hooks:
