Gotthard Lichtenawer

Gotthard Lichtenawer was the Baron of Bileon and a military commander in the Royal Army, Hopfisch Rebellion and the Borian Army. Gotthard became known as one of the most hated and treasonous nobles in the history of Edelmaa, since he fought against his own sworn King, King Jiri twice, in the Hopfisch Rebellion and the Borian War. During the Borian War he tried to usurp the rightful King of Boria, Konrad Perickard in the Officers' Battle until finally being slain at the Battle of Silverion Palace.
== Hopfisch Rebellion ==
Gotthard was a minor baron who joined the Hopfisch Rebels, because of this he was not assigned to the glorious banner army of Grimas Hopfisch himself, instead Gotthard was placed to take command of the Silverion garrison, a honourable job in itself.
=== Battle of Bileon ===
Gotthard however was completely goofed by King Jiri and the Royal Army when they entrapped Gotthard into a disadvantageous Battle of Bileon, where Gotthard fought in his own barony, yet was utterly defeated and encircled.
Gotthard was not punished heavily for his participation in the Hopfisch Rebellion, mainly due to his small part and also because he was "more an asset to us by losing", as stated by Hamina Beyard.
== Borian War ==
Gotthard, maybe rebellious by nature or just carrying ressentiment for the Kingdom, joined the Borians during the Borian War. Gotthard was noted for his prior military experience and elevated into General, mainly due to lack of proper generals in the Borian Army.
In the Battle of Eion Valley, Gotthard was given the command of the right flank of the Borian Army, as other commanders were needed elsewhere. Gotthard was also reinforced with Paul Royar and his regiment, but even then Gotthard's wing was defeated by Mennos van Dire, who had fought against Gotthard's army during the Hopfisch rebellion in the Battle of Bileon as a mere Captain. In the midst of the battle, Gotthard was strengthened by KOMS Knights, but still Gotthard was beaten by Mennos.
Gotthard withdrew south taking as many men as he could to form a final defence. After a few days news of the death of King Akhon Perickard came about and that Konrad Perickard was to become the de facto ruler of Boria. Gotthard, knowing that Konrad would sue for unfavorable peace took his chance at greatness and seized Silverion and tried to usurp Konrad in the Officers' Battle.
Gotthard tried to become the sole military ruler of Boria and to defeat King Jiri finally once and for all. But Gotthard didn't even get a second chance to fight Jiri, as a Borian commander, Grisweld Mittelhoss came to arrest Gotthard in Silverion. Gotthard resisted and the Battle of Silverion Palace was fought, during which Gotthard fled the palace and stumbled upon the army led by Mennos van Dire. Upset, Gotthard charged Mennos's men only to be slaughtered by them.
