Heinrich Klug is a prominent and influential member of a trade cartel based in the powerful city-state of Marienburg in the Wasteland.[1a]
Klug was deeply involved in the business of trade, and his influence extended into various mercantile and political circles. He orchestrated the assassination of Giuseppi Cauto, a powerful merchant from the Tilean city-state of Trantio, who had gained considerable wealth through trade with the Empire via a route that passed through the Border Princes.[1a]
Klug's motivation for commissioning the assassination was to eliminate Cauto as a competitor and secure Marienburg's dominance on the primary trade route between Tilea and the Empire. By removing Cauto, Klug aimed to ensure that Marienburg remained the most lucrative and influential hub for commerce between these regions, thereby strengthening his own position within the cartel and the broader economic landscape of the region.[1a]
The task was successfully completed by the assassin Liliana Falcone, who poisoned Giuseppi Cauto in his house.[1a]
