Eugen Marquerink

"The admiral, or commander in chief of a squadron, being frequently invested with a great charge, on which the fate of a kingdom may depend, ought certainly to be possessed of abilities equal to so important a station and so extensive a command."
-Eugen Marquerink
== History ==
Eugen Marquerink was born to a military family, and was expected to follow his family into that line of service. He chose the Kriegsmarine as his branch of choice, for it was still relatively new, freed from the hidebound shackles of tradition that gripped the Heer. It was furthermore not a branch that would expose his fear of heights, as the Luftwaffe would, or a duty-bound, moribund, gloryless force such as the Hexenjägers. Dashing, with a gift for command and strategy, and a willingness to be part of an old boy network of reciprocity and patronage, Marquerink rose through the ranks and eventually became a Commodore. During this time, he married an attractive and ambitious young Hexenjäger, Sascha Glas, and alongside her, they rose in stature. She became the Gauletier of Guilddon, and he became Admiral of the Kriegsmarine. Together, they took control of the Kingdom of Guilddon, raking in huge profits from the maritime trade industry and building themselves a power base from which to sate their never-ending ambition. 
== Personality ==
Eugen Marquerink is a brash, confident military officer comfortable on the battlefield and in delicate political situations. He inspires loyalty in his men, though his tendency for sycophancy and self-aggrandizement at the expense of his colleagues has made him many enemies. 
== The Great Awakening ==
After the fall of the Reich, the people of Guilddon would revolt in favor of King Talfryn Goronwy, capturing Marquerink and Glas, killing them, and displaying their bodies publicly. His deputy, Rear Admiral Walter Walkenhorst, succeeds him as the Admiral of the Kriegsmarine and swears service to King Talfryn. Category:Wild Abyss
