Cousin of Duke Rikard Talbher of Muden, and former ruler of Ubersreik, the count is now in exile in the County of Ruelshegh, as a guest to his ally, Count Diterich Jager.

Ilse Fassenwütend – Road Warden
Fassenwütend has lived a hard life. Her once bronze hair is streaked white, and a curving scar runs from her right eye to her jawline. She habitually sips from an old flask. Everything about her is worn or dishevelled, except her immaculate pistols. Their wooden stocks polished, their steel meticulously oiled, ready to fire at any time.

He rarely leaves the Field, and has little Human contact, save when comforting those who have lost loved ones, or issuing instructions to his two gravediggers, Ewald and Oswald.

Rudi Klumpenklug – Watch Sergeant (dead)
A grizzled old stump in his late 50s with a scruffy grey beard that frequently splits into a big grin showing wide yellow teeth, Klumpenklug is a master at dissembling behaviour, leading others to think of him as harmless and avuncular. But, in reality, he’s a cunning bastard with zero morals.
Klumpenklug was a firm supporter of the von Jungfreuds for many years, doing their dirty work and looking after their interests, but was always careful to keep his sympathies quiet.
The moment he saw the political winds turning, he was one of the first to denounce the Jungfreuds, calling them cheats and scoundrels. He assisted the Duke's men in rooting out loyalists, which he was exceedingly good at — unsurprising really, as he knew most of them personally.
