Ferdinand von Kriegskind: Not a true member of the Totenkopf family, though part of the pantheon all the same, Ferdinand has been Waldemar's faithful chancellor for a very long time. Fond of using odd similes and metaphors and playing cruel and twisted jokes, Ferdinand has invested heavily into the mystic arts. With a robed form bearing a grinning but largely featureless
white mask and clawed fingers; Ferdinand is rather enigmatic, as even in life he never showed an inch of his skin to any but the most trusted of friends and aides and seemed to be a master at maintaining a consistent tone with his voice and his emotions; disguising what he may actually be feeling at nearly all times. Believed to be some form of wraith, though no one can prove it, Ferdinand always has plans inside his plans. Disliked by Dietrich and Ishild over his mockery of their pain, often bringing them to tears with mercilessly cruel barbs regarding their fate and those they've lost, Ferdinand makes sure to keep an eye on Waldemar's potentially least loyal children to ensure that they continue to follow Waldemar's vision for the salvation of the Ostereiksch and the advancement of the Dusterreik. Ferdinand is a patron of arcanists, the incorporeal and intangilable, comedy, and schemes.
