Hardestadt Bathe

Hardestadt Bathe

Clan: Ventrue
Nature: Autocrat
Demeanor: Director
Apparent Age: early 40s

Hardestadt is a tall, strapping man. He has short black hair, blue intense eyes, a chin nearly square enough for use as a straightedge, and an aura of power and authority so powerful that others nearly had to squint against it. He can only drink from soldiers and military personnel and looks down on persons without actual combat experiences.
The specific location from where Hardestadt originated is not known, although is somewhere around modern Bavaria. Hardestadt is a prominent member of the clan. He is one of the Cainite monarchs of the great feudal realms that spanned the European continent, and ruled over the Fiefs of the Black Cross within the boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire as one of the harshest rulers, enforcing the Sixth Tradition. Hardestadt is probably the Cainite who holds the greatest power over the mortal world in Europe, being at the head of Clan Ventrue, which controls the politics of the Holy Roman Empire. Hardestadt always attempt diplomatic solutions first, preferring to gain what he wants with sweet words and diplomacy before resorting to harsher tactics.
