Friedrich von Kaufman
The noble son of an old Averheimer family, Friedrich is a rich and active man of mature years who is pursuing greater prominence for himself and his family.
One of the many candidates for the vacant seat of the Averheim Elector-Count, Friedrich is also one of the (also many) suitors for the hand of Gravin Clothilde von Alptraum.
A strong patron of the academic Sun Society, Friedrich recently celebrated the return of an expedition he had sponsored to the Soutlands. Although without its reknowned leader, Johann Templemann.
A garden party thrown by Graf von Kaufman to display his menagerie and cultural treasures, including those brought back by the Templemann Expedition, was thrown into chaos by an unknown attacker. A solid gold cermonial dish from the Southlands was stolen, Giselbert was grievously wounded, and a demigriff was released (slaying the Graf's falconer).
