Surviving a Harsh Fantasy with Cheat Items (WN)

Chapter 101.3: Character Introduction (End of Book 1)

Marquis Pipin Nant Burgund, 45 years old

A man of unusual appearance. His chin is like the tip of a French bread with black beard.

He is the head of the Burgund Family, a lineage of the chief vassal of the Founding King Renz, and one of the representatives of the local nobles. He is quite a talented person compared to the incompetent prestigious nobles.

He is capable of commanding an army in his own way, is highly intelligent and scheming, and has demonstrated his competence in domestic affairs.

The problem with him, however, is that he uses his abilities to maintain his own power and not for the good of the kingdom.

The great nobles of the south, who have a strong independent spirit against the Silesie royal family, are led by two great families, the Burgund and Aquitaine, who were both vassals of Founding King Renz.

The original representative of the Confederation of South Nobles was the Blanc Family, a branch of the royal family where Brynie was the previous head. However, the Blanc family already lost its power. Marquis Pipin of Burgund Family and Countess Ajine of Aquitaine Family hold the real power.

Incidentally, it is an open secret that Marquis Pipin is having an affair with Countess Ajine.

Conrad Germania Germanicus, Germania Emperor

Weak and aged emperor over seventy. He is the one who sealed the Hotbed of Corruption and Delusion 50 years ago. He is also the hero who climbed up to the 54th floor of the White Tower of Trials and obtained the orichalcum armor and orichalcum great shield.

In his younger days, he was a heroic emperor who, expedition after expedition, ate up the three kingdoms in the western part of the empire to expand the empires territory but in his old age, he became lackluster.

Unable to settle the question of succession, he is now half in hiding at the mercy of the young lion Free, who has seized power after kicking out his siblings by force.

After the fall of the empire, he is captured by the coup detat forces and is imprisoned in the imperial castle.

His eyes are glazed with ambition and he is an energetic financier and an excellent minister.

Originally, the dynamic and ambitious Biden emerged as a fur merchant.

He marries the daughter of the mayor of Northmark and as a dowry, he receives an enormous fortune and a route to the central government.

While running his company, he became the director of the Bureau of Coin and Minting where he gained enormous wealth by diverting a large amount of precious metals for coinage, used bribes to hold a key position in the Finance Office and climbed out of the commoner ladder.

He was conferred the title of Count Sorel. He became close to Prince Freed, who was also on his way to prosperity and was appointed to the great post of Domestic Affairs Minister, where he flourished under the princes new regime.

It was thanks to Bidens skill in managing domestic affairs that he was able to procure a force of 70000 troops for the Silesies War of Aggression.

In order to save the empires finances, which had run short of coins due to the defeat in the Silesie War of Aggression and a large amount of reparations to be paid, he introduced convertible banknotes but it failed.

This led to a revolt among the imperial subjects and Biden himself was captured and executed by the coup detat forces.
