And, I mean, it doesn't have to be just 18th century characters, either!

Re: 1730 Decision-making Characters: Rottembourg

[selenak]

To quote from my write up of Arneth's Eugene biography, in 1729, when FW and G2 clash:

Eugene: Thumbs up! I like it. That G2 is getting way to big for his breeches and is Prince Elector of Hanover. Seckendorff, tell FW if there's war, I'm totally joining in.

FW/G2 reconciliation happens.

Eugene: Go figure. That man is so unreliable. Any news on the "make the kid like us" front, Seckendorff?

Seckendorff: Well, he's taking money from me, but if you want my opinion, that kid is evil (böse) and false (falsch) to the core, and if you're hoping for gratitude once FW kicks the bucket, forget it.
