## Notes

* What event is the Battle of Wolfenstein? Now that has yet to be explored. ;)
* In the comics, the Zemos were a Dynasty that started in the 1400s. This series will portray them a bit differently. The Zemos, or von Zemo, originated from the Village Zemo, which was near Castle Wolfenstein, alongside Paderborn Village and Wulfburg. After the destruction of Zemo, they Zemos migrated to present day Sokovia, where Baronet Hereward Zemo had established Castle Zemo, in remembrance of their destroyed home.
