Klingenberg Family: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 22:12, 2 October 2008

The noble Klingenberg family was founded generations ago in Dsinasas, when Fredrick Klingenberg saved a nobleman's daughter from a wild boar's attack and was rewarded a minor noble title for it and some land of his own. For these actions, the family coat of arms was chosen to be an impaled boar.

Blonde hair and blue eyes are the two most visible traits that many of their pure-bred family members have in common.

The family continued it's existence mostly unnoticed, as a small noble family without great political power or big achievements. The latest generations have stepped up however, decided to make the name Klingenberg respected throughout the realms.

Among those currently known to be working on reaching this goal are Marianna, Mordar and Haakon.

Others have met an untimely end or gone missing, like Friedrich and Joaquin.

-The family continued it's existance mostly unnoticed, as a small family without any real power, without much land or much interference in politics and war.
+Blonde hair and blue eyes are the two most visible traits that many of their pure-bred family members have in common.
-==Friedrich==
+The family continued it's existence mostly unnoticed, as a small noble family without great political power or big achievements. The latest generations have stepped up however, decided to make the name Klingenberg respected throughout the realms.
-Friedrich is a tall man, almost gaunt, with icy blue eyes and pale blond hair. Most of his life he kept it short, but lately he has let it grow, and by now it resembles somewhat the manes of a lion. Ever since he acquired the Silver Sword of Bloodletting, he has kept the blade with him at all times.
+Among those currently known to be working on reaching this goal are [[Klingenberg_Family/Marianna|Marianna]], [[Klingenberg_Family/Mordar|Mordar]] and [[Klingenberg_Family/Haakon|Haakon]].
-While he is well educated and definitely able to behave in noble company, his anger can be very menacing. Due to his habit to see his enemies as dehumanized monsters, he is willing to commit the greatest atrocities if they'd help him destroy his opponents. He is dedicated completely to his home region Dsinasas, but is cold towards the Lodge of Lunaria, seeing them as weak fools who are blinded by their even weaker gods.
+Others have met an untimely end or gone missing, like [[Klingenberg_Family/Friedrich|Friedrich]] and [[Klingenberg_Family/Joaquin|Joaquin]].
-Friedrich's troops are barely better than bandits when it comes to mentality and behavior. He makes it his goal to always pick the most brutal and grim soldiers for his service. Unlike bandits however, they are trained and equipped for maximum efficiency. He refuses to enter a battlefield if he commands mere cannon fodder.
-==Joaquin==
-Joaquin is the youngest brother of the current generation Klingenbergs. Four years behind the second brother -Friedrich- in age, he was left alone most of his youth since his brothers always deemed him too small and young to play or train with him. During his own training, it showed that he held little talent for the blade or the art of war. Joaquin always was more the person for hunting, wooing women, or hanging around in the taverns.
-Joaquin is somewhat smaller than average, with nearly feminine facial features. Under his long blonde hair and warm blue eyes he is nearly always smiling.
