Konrad von Carstein, a nobleman in Sylvania, a blood-mad butcher, cruel, merciless and insanely ruthless; burned villages because they smelled and had his mother prossecuted for giving birth to him. Nonetheless, Vlad granted him the Blood Kiss, extending his cruel rule into centuries. In the spring of 2121 IC, the three claimants united forces and, combined with an army of Dwarfs, defeated Konrad. The Dwarf Grufbad held Konrad down while Helmar, son of Helmut, impaled him with his Runefang.
