When I originally read the biography, I remember my readerly sympathy was affected until the chapter "AW and his sisters", in which he's being a loyal brother and helper to Wilhelmine and Ulrike, letting me to conclude that while I definitely would not have wanted to be in a romantic relationship with him, let alone marry him, any more than his brothers, he was a good friend and relation to have.
