Lanzo Voll

"Sorcery, that is the heart of the problem. Magic obviates the need for invention, beyond certain basic requirements, of course. And so we remain eternally stifled."
-Lanzo Voll
== History ==
A career military office, Lanzo Voll left the army upon attaining the rank of Colonel, perused an advantageous marriage, and rose up in the ranks of the Reich's civil service. He was eventually appointed Minister of Commerce, a role with little practical value in a nation as poor and closed off as the Reich. 
== Personality ==
Ambitious, careerist, and talented, Lanzo Voll was perpetually frustrated by what he saw as the Reich's backwardness. He was held in disdain by the Hexenjägers, who saw him as a useless pen pusher amidst warrior-aristocrats. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
At the opening of the War, Lanzo Voll was dispatched to Guilddon, where he negotiated the marriage pact between Franz Forrawyn and Queen Mercy. He was charged with setting up a logistical partnership with the guilds to ensure a smooth exchange of goods and supplies between the two nations during the war. Though Voll relished the opportunity to deploy his talents, he was held in scorn by the Guildmasters, who saw him much as he saw his own compatriots - hidebound, backwards, and autocratic. After the war, Voll welcomed the ascent of Reise Forrawyn, seeing a fulfilling future for himself in the new empire. 
== After the War ==
Though not a Hexenjäger, Lanzo Voll was appointed as the first Gauleiter of Guilddon, where his knowledge of commerce and trade was invaluable. For the purposes of continuity, he was given the rank of Special Agent General in the Hexenjägers, which rankled many of the old guard. He served successfully in this post till his death.
