Profile
Background
Rudolf was born in S.1154, living in Lamare Province.
He was a nobleman on paper, a position he had earned for his efforts in the Imperial Army of Erebonia as the commander of the 13rd Armored Division. However, his position within the nobility was the lowest rank and he and his family were treated as commoners.
Within the army, Rudolf assumed an anti-commoner stance and closely followed the big noblemen.
His wife bore him a son, Lechter, but she eventually decided to divorce him.
