• He appears at the top of Pfalzgrafenstein Castle in Kaub, loyal to and accompanying an infected, coughing Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. • Notable Props.

He wears a dark Prussian officer's uniform with white-trimmed lapels and a tall shako hat, as depicted in the fan art provided. Story & Fate • Loyalty to Blücher. Users on Reddit widely agree that his tragic fate stems from his unwavering loyalty to his field marshal, likely believing Blücher is merely suffering from a bad cold rather than the Blight. • Death Scene. After players secure the castle and speak with Blücher, the Field Marshal finally succumbs to the infection, collapses, and fatally rips out the officer's throat. He was the first NPC in the game to die on-screen with a permanent corpse.
