Details
======================================================================================
Appearance: Aldrich Vonstrogen is a tall, by Winterhual standards, man and has a dark tan characteristic of Winterhual, with oak colored hair that he keeps long and tied back in a pony tail over his sholder. Aldrich has bright green eyes that some would say are telling of his cunning. Like most residents of Winterhual Aldrich wears light airy clothes with dark neutral browns and grays with bright red and yellow accents reminiscent of middle-eastern clothing. Aldrich has a chiseled squarish face to go with his square shoulders and athletically built body.
He typically wears loose short sleeve shirts of an light olive or brown color with red scroll-work embroidery around the cuffs and neck. On his lower half he wears loose tan colored pants that flare out around the thigh but are tied back around his ankles with gold colored rope. to complete his appearance he usually wears a thin red or yellow scarf and a gold embroidered wide blue or green belt.
Family/Friends:
Aldrich is the son of Gerard Vonstrogen, the Current King of Wind. Aldrich is for the most part responsible for his fathers position as it was his political maneuvering and gambits that set his family up to take the Obsiden throne. Holding the position of political strategist in his family left little time for socializing that wasn't aimed at obtaining more power. As a result the few friends he has are left over from his younger years and mostly consist of cousins and lower members of the few noble family he hasn't stabbed in the back with political schemes. The people of Winterhual may not hold grudges but that doesn't mean they make friends easily. They are more apt to see people as potential resources than potential friends.
Skills/Abilities/Training:
Political maneuvering and Gambits are Aldrich's expertise. He is also skilled at making an in depth accurate analysis of others' character and personality. Aldrich has no formal military training but he does practice and participate in the competitive martial arts popular among the nobles of Winterhual, including a form of fencing, and a wrestling art similar to Judo. He wouldn't be considered a master by any means but he does have a level of competency sufficient to maintain he status as a dangerous opponent both in and out of the arena.
Interests: Securing the Obsidian throne for himself and his family; Competitive sports, martial and otherwise; and historical literature.
Official Titles: Prince of the Wind, Heir Adjacent to the Obsidian Throne, Reconciled of Winterhual.
========================================================================================
Personality:
Aldrich has a brilliant cunning mind and an eye for politics that the Vonstrogne family hasn't seen in decades. On the surface he seems only concerned with obtaining as much personal power as possible. On the inside his motivation spurns form his belief that he is one of select few with the intelligence to rule and truly unite the world. True to Winterhual culture he never holds grudges, it's too hard to pull people under you power when you hold a grudge. He sees most people as resources and pawns on a chess board and only counts a precious few as his friends. Chief among them is his trusted adviser Jerome Eberstark who is arguably his only confidant.
Biography:
Aldrich's life has been spent preparing for life as a Lord in the Court of Stone. His early years were spent under the watchful eye of scholars in mathematics, languages, and studying the political history of the nation. He was a quick student and quickly surpassed the teachers his family could afford to hire. The Vonstrogen family has held a throne in the Igneous house for the last ninety years, but in recent years had been pushed to the bottom. They needed a fresh mind to take power again. On his nineteenth birthday Aldrich put his mind to work for the Vonstrogens as the family's political strategist. He considered his father a fool, but as his father held the Basalt throne he had to promote his father instead of taking it for himself.
Over the next four years Aldrich's maneuvering pushed his father from the Basalt Throne all the way to the Quartz Throne. He obtained the Monzonite Throne for his father via a Vote of Arbitration in early Kudhan in 945 ER. One year later they made a successful more for the Quartz Throne. In late Torba in 947 ER, he had already obtained proof that the current King of Wind had failed to fulfill the requirements of his duties. At this time Aldrich was preparing and grooming the Court to obtain the six votes necessary for a Vote of Exaltation, pushing his father onto the Obsidian Throne. The process was a delicate few months of maneuvering the Court of Stone to vote for the Vonstrogens.
However, on 11 of Ebar in 948 ER The current King of Wind, Deitrich Adler, forced their hand into revealing their proof of incompetence earlier than they had planned. An over eager Gerard Vonstrogen, Lord of Quartz, called for an early Vote of Exaltation on 13 of Ebar in 948 ER. Two weeks later they received the invitation for reconciliation. As a result, Aldrich Vonstrogen, with the fresh title of Prince of Wind Heir Adjacent to the Obsidian Throne, oldest child of the King of Wind, was called for Reconciliation at the start of the new year, in place of the former King Dietrich Adler's daughter, Deyana Adler.
A now furious Aldrich travels for Atanwan .
Extra/other: Winterhaul's part of the reconciliation contract reads that "The eldest child of the current King of the Wind at the time at which the invitation for reconciliation is received shall go for Reconciliation."
