Weingartner Family

The **Weingartner Family** was a noble family hailing from the Kingdom of Marlon. After moving to Elphegort, the family was promoted to being marquises governing the Toragay area following the Marlon-Elphegort War. They later entered into a political marriage with the Felix Family to renew its social standing.

## History

### Early History

The Weingartners trace their lineage back to their ancestor, Korvus Weingartner, who was related to the Marlon Royal Family. When Queen Prim Marlon began eliminating all other heirs to the throne other than her son and daughter, Korvus renounced their birthright and fled to Elphegort in EC 489; they eventually settled in the town of Toragay.

After the Green Hunting and its subsequent war with Marlon in EC 500, the Weingartners were chosen as the new noble family to govern the town in place of the ruined Felix Family to help deter an invasion from the overgrown power of Lucifenia; from then on, they became marquises. Later on in the sixth century EC, the family came into possession of the golden key Grim the End.

### Dabbling in Crime

Sometime after, Kaidor Weingartner married and the couple bore a son on August 30, EC 588. Shortly after discovering his wife's, Kaidor murdered her and entrusted his son, Kaspar, to his younger brother Karl before fleeing the family. Kaidor was promptly disowned by his father and Karl later became the head of the noble family and inherited its marquis title. In EC 597, Kaidor killed Ward Lucif and had Père Noël change his face to Ward's visage to assume the Freezis Foundation's aide's identity and position.

Following Karl's death early in the EC 600s, Kaspar succeeded him. Due to the man's overzealous spending, the noble family lost much of its wealth. In July of EC 608, Kaspar married Mayrana Felix and claimed her family's fortune for himself. Later on, both Kaspar and Mayrana joined Père Noël and the marquis helped sell illegal products across Elphegort while maintaining his public facade. Around this time, "Ward" recontacted First Minister and offered to act as a mole for Père Noël.

### Decline

Discontent with Kaspar's philandering with other women, Mayrana poisoned the marquis on August 30, EC 609. Two months later, on October 14, Mayrana discussed the matter of succession for the family with King Soil Elphen. After Shaw Freezis's death on October 17, Ward assumed an interim position as the foundation's leader until a proper successor was chosen. Having unleashed an airborne plague variant of her poison upon Toragay, Mayrana committed suicide with her creation on October 21.

Once the new foundation head was chosen, Ward was selected as one of her vice-presidents; around the same time, he joined Père Noël in his son's place. On May 23, EC 611, Kaidor was arrested by the World Police's Justea unit and imprisoned. He was later transferred to Castle Hedgehog at the end of August and tortured by the Interrogation Execution Department for several weeks. He was finally assassinated by Sixth Venom around mid-September of that year.
