Einhardt Mensk

Einhardt Mensk is the Chancellor of Lordamere. Formerly a war hero, Einhardt has had a long and storied history in politics. He has a great deal of influence as not just Chancellor, but also as a respected elder statesman. Einhardt is a leader among the Crimsons.
Einhardt is irritable, unlikable, and grumpy. While he has a posh and composed demeanor, he is also quite blunt and crass. Einhardt is legendarily difficult to work for. He is rarely satisfied, and can fly off the handle at a moment's notice. This volatility, coupled with his intimidating aura, makes him a political force to be reckoned with. Einhardt is also a quite wary man. He is cautious to pursue bold policy, and is always careful around possible rivals, up-and-comers, and potential enemies to the state. While these traits don't paint Einhardt Mensk in the best light, he has quite respectable traits. He is honest, dutiful, and impossible to buy. Einhardt has great respect for his position, and while he is willing to bend legality and morality in order to preserve law and order (especially when it comes to his command of the Crownguard), he always has what he sees as the nation's best interests at heart. While Einhardt is widely respected, he is also unpopular in many circles, whether it be among young folk wanting new blood in power, Violet politicians eyeing his position, or radicals and revolutionaries seeking extreme change. However, outside of the most extreme of opponents on both ends of the political spectrum, Einhardt is still respected. His ability to garner popular support and bridge political differences is unparalleled. While Einhardt is a supporter of tradition and authority, he is still fairly politically moderate. He is wary of extremists within his own political party, and has even been an outspoken critic of the crown on occasion. While Mensk is often the subject of criticism or controversy, none would say he is afraid to voice his opinions, no matter how unpopular they may be.
Einhardt is deeply devoted to his work. He has little time for his wife, children, and grandchildren. While he has a famous penchant for imported cigars and whiskey, Einhardt would admit that his work remains his greatest vice.
Einhardt is a fat, bald man. He wears reading glasses. He is ridden by gout and lung disease which causes him to cough.
