Prince Marcus Von Roterstein

Prince Marcus Von Roterstein

Prince Marcus W.L. Von Roterstein is a member of the Ardoraghi royal family during the late Fourth and early Fifth Era. He is the son of the younger brother of the current High-Lord and King of Ardoragh. He is most well known for being kidnapped in the early Fifth Era whilst visiting Solleria.

Life

Born as Lord Marcus Von Roterstein in Ardoria, the young lord studied law, earning his bachelor degree at the Imperial University of Ardoria, and getting his master degree at the Imperial University of Helmira. For most of his life he has lived in a manor house in Helmira, from where he practices law.

During the late Fourth Era, just before the Grand War, he got into conflict with his uncle when he published a paper accusing the Ardoraghi Duke Ulv of facilitating piracy in the Dodehavet Sea in a vast scheme by the Ardoraghi nobility to avoid paying the increasingly high taxes to then-Emperor Louis Viromaro. He was recalled to Ardoria, where after staying at the High-Lord's castle for five months he formally renounced his earlier accusations.

After the Reforma Carta reformed the Province of Ardoragh into the Kingdom of Ardoragh, the Von Roterstein family gained the official status of one the Kythiran royal houses. Ever since his full name and title is His Royal Highness Marcus Whaza Leonard Von Roterstein, Prince of Ardoragh.

Philanthropy

Being an only child, the prince inherited after his father's passing 800,000 Florynts. This large fortune was used to purchase a small castle, Chateau Imperia in northern Attica as a country estate for 150,000 Florynts, spending another 50,000 renovating the derelict castle.
