[img=http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/337/0/4/lion_sketch_by_phobs-d344yt3.png] Name: Karl von Güno Age: 45 Personality: Karl never really identified with the whole Nazi idea and with those that like him forfeit the ideals of Hitler, he loves to make the joke that when an Austrian fails to enter the arts he takes the easy route and becomes a military strongman in the north. Of course, he has a dislike of the Jews for the same reasons as Hitler, the fact that they are bankers above all, but still his opinion on the subject is that they should just be bared to enter education, politics and banking as to prevent their influence. Above all however, he is staunchly catholic in saying that 'Jewish bankers wouldn't be a problem if Germans didn't meddle with usury in the first place'. Otherwise some consider him as a weirdo with some issue due to his habit of trying to make himself feel at home where he is. He calls it an habit from the trenches and so he likes to give the floor a broom sweep, find a rug, a few chairs and a good book, a tidy little living room in the middle of the ruins of the battlefield, even add a potted plant or two if possible. He looks at the civilians more like neighbors rather than enemies, considering that this isn't a war between Germans and Russians, but rather between National Socialists and Communists, the people around them only incidentally being on the communist side. Still, on the same logic he doesn't hesitate to put a bullet in the head of Russian Commissars as even if he doesn't consider himself a Nazi, he'd rather live under a Fascist rather than a Communist state. Background: Son of a minor Freiherr (Baron) in Austria-Hungary, he enlisted as soon as he could in the Austrian army to fight for Emperor and Country as a hussar in the Cavalry. At first he still had some kind of romanticized view of war but was quickly brought back to reality as the fight against Russia went on. In early 1917 he was captured by the Tsarist forces and had the luck to be in one of the better prisoner camp around rather than in Siberia building railways. Still, things were bleak but as the communist rebellion became more and more generalized through the Russian ranks, he managed to leave with a group of fellow Austrians and go back to the Australian lines after 3 days of marching without anyone even trying to stop them. He went back to the front with a medal for his Valiant escape but not for long, the armistice ending the war less than a year later. Still, he had a taste of the real war on the Western front and became an advocate for Austrian neutrality immediately after. Still things were not perfect, the Austrian Empire was dismembered and it wasn't good to be an Austrian in Yugoslavia. At this point his mother died and his father had become a monarchist reactionary crusader. Without money of his own or the possibility to have a real job, he joined the counter-revolutionary white movement in Russia. This was where he met his wife, Veronika Tolstoi, eldest daughter of a family of nobles trying to flee communism. At this point the campaign was failing as the foreign allies of the Tsarists were less and less willing to spend energy on this after a costly world war and so he suggested, and his step family reluctantly accepted, to flee. Most the family moved to Great Britain but having proposed to Veronika, she followed him to Austria where his father had gotten killed by the police. With all his brothers dead in the War, this left him as the sole inheritor. He had no land but still received a hefty amount of money held in Swiss Bank accounts. Trying to look toward the future with his wife, he had many children, followed up on studies in architecture and managed to find stable employment, thanks a lot to some friends he had made in the war. When the war began, he actually managed to shield himself and his children (Well, most, his eldest was really in the whole Reich thing and got himself killed in Africa) for quite some time by playing the 'Race Traitor' card on himself and his child who were no pure Aryan due to their mother being a Slavic Mongrel (Something he finds hilarious since he rarely sees anyone with more Aryan and blonde features such as her). Still, this only went so far as to protect his Children, he himself was still 100% Germanic and was called to arms. He made arrangements for his family to move in the house of one of his cousins in the Austrian Alps to protect them from the constant bombardments in Vienna and joined without trying to dodge the draft, not wanting to attract more attention than needed on himself and his family.
