"No. Explains the name, though; it’s Czech rather than German, except for that ‘von.’ Mind you, Julia’s chummer has tabs on a Luther Hayek, citizen of Zvolen—in Slovakia—circa eighteen-ten. The most interesting thing about him is a privately published pamphlet, author one Jesuit of the parish—if Jesuits have parishes—accusing him of necromancy and vampirism. No firm evidence of a link. The name isn’t that unusual. It could be just a coincidence."
