## Biographical information

### Birth

Gustave

**Winfried Valdemar** (빈프리트, *Binpeuliteu*) is a monk at Redempta Church. He is the youngest son of the Duke Valdemar and Duchess Gustave, and the younger brother of the twins Giovinetta and Johannes.

## Appearance

He has black hair, light skin, and brown eyes with a golden hue. He wears monastic garbs comprising of a soft brown tunic, white underclothes, and a cowl.

## Personality

Winfried is cunning, quick-witted, manipulative. As a child, Winfried revered Johannes and similarly aspired to excel at the martial arts, though his weak constitution typically confined him to reading books. Winfried resented Giovinetta's closeness to Johannes early on, continuing to scorn her into adulthood. Giovinetta also noted Winfried found no issue with routinely stealing and lying, often leaving her to shoulder the blame. Later, when he caught on that Johannes was enamored with his sister, he revels in the thought that his perfect brother seemingly also rolls around in the same dirt as him. He appears to harbor misogynistic feelings, as he frequently condemns Giovinetta for John's same behaviors and refers to her as an "annoying woman who doesn't know her place."

Although a monk, Winfried strays from the ascetic lifestyle i.e. by drinking alcohol and engaging in sexual intercourse.

## Biography

Born with a weak constitution, Winfried committed himself to non-physical activities, primarily reading. Consequently, when he came of age, Winfried chose to became a monk at Redempta monastery nearby. But when he was caught breaking the ascetic lifestyle, such as reading banned books or drinking alcohol, he would return to Gustave castle to self-reflect.

When Winfried suspects his brother is infatuated with someone after discerning his reaction to a mysterious dagger, he steals it to bring it to the Ducommun coffins. Much to Winfried's displeasure, he encounters Giovinetta, who demands to know where he retrieved her dagger that was given to her by their mother, Duchess Gustave. He reveals to Giovinetta that the Devil was not captured, but offered to the Ducommun family as a curse.

## Relationships

### Giovinetta Valdemar

"She might share John's face, but she has none of his patriotism. She's just a selfish b\*\*\*\* who only cares about herself." - Winfried's thought after Giovinetta reprimands him for his discourtesy. He has little patience with her, often belittling Giovinetta for her hesitance and stuttering.

### Griselda

> Ha! Have all the women in Gustave castle gone mad while I've been away? My foolish sister marching into a man's chambers at the crack of dawn. And a nurse who dares to scold her lord. Now that I'm back, you should focus on taking care of me, nurse.

Winfried has an illicit relationship with his former wet nurse, Griselda, who is currently Giovinetta's chamber maid.

## Quotes

"And a true hedonist should... chase after forbidden pleasures in a place of abstinence. After all, a line only has meaning once it's been drawn, and the real fun lies in crossing it." - *Winfried telling Johannes why he became a monk*

"How blinded are you by your love for our sister, John?" - *Winfried to himself after discovering his falsified letter on Johannes's desk*

## Trivia

* Winfried bears a striking resemblance with his father, from his very similar appearance to his actions, as a man of god sleeping with a maid. The only thing he inherited from his mother is her black hair.
