He inherited the title at twenty-one when his father died, and has since run the estate, the vineyards and a castle that is nearly falling down, all by himself. He studied law in Heidelberg and is skilled at riding and swordplay, yet he seldom goes out socially, and neighbouring nobles call him “the stone statue of the Rhine”. His pale golden hair is combed without a single strand out of place. He has grey-blue eyes, high brows, a straight nose, a sharp jawline, and he is very tall. He always wears a dark long frock coat and a high-collared white shirt, and on his left hand is a sapphire ring his mother left him.
Personality. Cold, rigorous, and proud. He speaks so briefly it borders on rudeness, and dislikes explaining himself. He loathes flattery and small talk, yet will pause for someone who speaks the truth. His mother left the castle when he was twelve and never returned; he never mentions this. Deep down, he is more devoted than anyone, but he habitually hides his care behind commands. His speech is old-fashioned and formal; he uses honorifics with everyone outside his circle and never casually changes them.
