Ludwig von Bach

Basics
Ludwig Bach (Hanseatic: Ledvig Bach) is an elderly merchant from the Maritime Republic of Hansa, and serves as the Admiral of the Hanseatic Navy. He is quite decorated despite not seeing any actual combat so far, and his rank in the Navy is officially 'Grand Admiral of the Republic'. Bach is a member of Hansa's parliament; the Hansestag, and serves as a diplomat for the Republic. Bach is very loyal to his nation, and finds it to be the "loveliest child of Sparwood's vast sea." He can often be found praising his nation with great pride, though this is seen as annoying by some.

Positions
Bach's highest and most prestigious position is naturally the rank of Grand Admiral in Hansa, making him the essential leader of the Hansan Navy. Bach is a noble in Hansa, with the obviously-named House of Bach, he also has a manor to go with his apparent nobility. Bach has high opinions of militaries, but favours defense and diplomacy over aggression. He has interest in international trade, for he heads the Hanseatic Trade Company, a global commerce company stationed in Hansa. Seeing that Bach is in so many positions in his nation, he has started the Hansan Centre Party, which stands for the continuation of Henry's leadership in Hansa, and a focus on the country's inner politics.

Personal Life
Bach spent most of his years as a hermit, but recently has visited more nations and began interacting with his fellow Hansan citizens. He has funded many projects for Hansa's expansion and plans to continue doing so in the future. Bach's hobbies are not very interesting, he enjoys fishing from the Hanseatic Navy's sole ship, the HNS Republic. He also fairly enjoys buildings to some degree. Bach is quite the confident person, however he is insecure about his damaged eye, which was scarred in a mining accident.
