Von Toerbach, Baron Rolf
Reclusive leader of
the planet Protalus
(0128 Core)
during the years preceding the Confederacy
Civil
War (-239 to -237). Baron von Toerbach's aides saw to it that
few outsiders
ever saw him face to face. So prevalent was this practice that
anti-confederacy
propagandists took advantage of it: it was widely reported that the
Baron
was a hideous mutant, although some later historians dispute this claim.
Even though few ever saw the Baron, his influence created
a near fanaticism in the leaders of the rebellion, who seemed bent on
dominating
the Great Spiral at
almost
any cost.
The Baron was presumed lost aboard his flagship Tellamachia
during the final battle of the Civil War.
