Karl Gustav von Friedenswald

Karl Gustav von Friedenswald was born on August 1st, 2173, to the von Friedenswald Family, the Dukes of Westmark. He was raised in an extremely wealthy environment, and was always taught about the importance of the Nobility for Vaerian society how they are blessed by the gods, and how they keep the county afloat. He has always taken those lessons to heart. The main influence on his life unquestionably is his uncle though. His dashing life of adventure in the Navy has always fascinated Karl, and he wished to replicate his feats in every way. That is why, after graduating University at the age of 18 with his masters in Military History in hand, he joined the Navy and never looked back, quickly rising through the ranks of the Navy, reaching the Rank of Admiral at the age of 27. Three Years later, he got the news that his grandfather was dying, and on January 1st, 2200, after his Grandfather saw the fireworks, he leaned in to take his last confession. Karl Gustav ran for the Seat of Emperor in 2200, but lost to Carolus de Mérode. In 2205 during the Shizra Crisis, von Friedenswald died in the Imperial Diet in Höchstberg. The circumstances of his death are still contested today, official records state that he died as a result of a stand-off with the IRG, but others claim that von Friedenswald was hurrying to aid his friend Olivia Canmoore in Shizra. After his death, his sister, Maria von Friedenswald, became Duchess of Westmark.
