Ludwig von Bach

Basics
Ludwig von Bach is a noble from the Maritime Republic of Hansa, and serves as the Admiral of the Hanseatic Navy and their Naval Infantry. He is quite decorated despite not seeing combat so far, and his rank in the Navy is officially 'Grand Admiral of the Republic', he 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."

Positions
He can often be found pacing around the Republic of Hansa in his uniform, which he has encouraged the casual use of in his Navy. Bach has high opinions of militaries, but favours defense and diplomacy over aggression. He also has interest in international trade, for he heads the Hanseatic Trade Company. Seeing that Bach is in so many positions in Hansa, he has started the Hanseatic Centre Party, which stands for personal liberties and democracy in Hansa, with a focus on Hanseatic patriotism.

Personal Life
Bach is somewhat of a hermit, but enjoys commentating on international politics through his "Odes to the Noble Rathnir" book series. His other interests include fishing, writing, and flag collecting. He has a wide collection of various national flags, and plans to create a Hanseatic Museum that will store such a variety, as well as many coveted trinkets. Bach lives in a manor in the Isle of Hansa.

Nobility
Bach is a noble, and is the founder of the Bach noble family. Although he is a noble, he does not wish for aristocratic dominance over Hansa, and only uses his noble title as a decoration. He declared himself a noble after figuring that his positions in Hansa made him a valid aristocrat. Bach does not currently have any heirs, even though he began his aristocratic family to preserve his legacy.
