Randolf Vogt

Turning to private funding to produce a weapon able to fight the forces of Chaos despite the end of a recent Chaos Incursion, Countess Emmanuelle’s Marshall Lord Randolf spearheaded the project, coaxing more and more Karls from the city’s aristocracy and even from other provinces. And work did continue, but the Countess, always capricious, tired of Randolf’s lack of progress and so she replaced him with an ambitious sycophant who had an eye on titles and land grants, and who appealed to her sense of the aesthetic.

Randolf’s fall was complete. He lost all credibility with the city’s elite and so retreated to his townhouse in the Altestadt where he brooded over his disgrace. Despair turned to rage, and from that grew treasonous thoughts, thoughts of sabotaging the weapon he had worked so hard to fund and complete. At first, he put such thoughts out of his mind, but when he learned his replacement took credit for Randolf's efforts, the fallen lord’s path was fixed.

Randolf lives a double life now. Though he did indeed fall from his lofty position as the Countess’ closest advisor, he still attends the various parties and events as befitting his station, no doubt preserved by his son’s status as a war hero. Behind the scenes, he works in the College of Engineering, ensuring his “changes” to the cannon’s initial design are preserved. Also, his son holds the Chalice of Wrath, and so Randolf works against any investigations into his family.

Randolf is a thin man, with gaunt features and a slightly stooped posture. He has salt and pepper black hair and watery blue eyes. He wears the best clothing and is a meticulous dresser.
