Albrecht von Yeralt

Summary

Albrecht von Yeralt is the man who is most responsible for allowing Valstadt to grow powerful, but it was his impact away from the nation, in his later years, that have had the greatest, and the most negative impact. Although his potency as a magi was remarkable, his dark experiments and usage of both the occult and of the dark abyss were what made Valstadt the most remarkable power of its day.

Towards the end of his life, he understood the implications of his corruption, but maintained it and continued to delve further into it despite of it all, much to the chagrin of his demonic accomplice Poenitentis. In the end, his body was ripped to pieces and torn asunder by his enemies in the midst of a battle, and his soul torn apart by the various forces he had given pieces of it in order to accomplish so much.

Early Life

Albrecht was born the first born son of Gerome Yeralt, as such was trained and learned in all matters of politics and statecraft in order to inherit the throne of Valstadt. During this age, the fertile lands that would become Venepatria were beginning to unify under another's banner, and the islands of Skellige were revolting against Saalgard.

As a child, Albrecht was typically a kind person, especially to his sisters, and fiercely competitive with his brothers. Despite this spirit, he was one of the physically smallest, and in fact, he was quite sickly. He was seen to be adept in magics concerning the dark, especially in channeling pestilences.

In his studies, he had a somewhat lacking response, stemming mainly from his apathy. But in tactics, more so those that regarded the martial arts, he excelled. He was not as capable with a sword or with a shield as any of his brothers, but he was much better at outthinking them.
