Backstory

Born and apprenticed in the Greater Alps, Andreas learnt to appreciate the modern commercial city during a period being fostered at Oculus S in Lübeck. He has relatively little training in the ways of the city, but he is eager to learn. Therefore he came to the Rhine immediately after his apprenticeship. He trained in the Apfelgilde before returning to Lübeck.

Character Questions

    • He does not feel guilty at all. All he does is for the greater good.

    • he loves them
    • they just do not belong to the same world
  • Has he ever killed a person? How did it happen?
    • not until it happens in story
  • Which of the cardinal sins does he tend towards (see RoP:I p21)?

  • Where does he keep his vis?
    • to the extent that it is possible, in a belt pouch under his cape
    • when he gets a sanctum he may keep most of it there
