Karl Stransky

Karl Stransky is of Czech Noblesse militaire, whose family lost most of its title, influence and wealth in the fall of Empires after WWI. Effectively nationless, the Stranky’s have done their best to keep up the pretense of ‘business as usual’ by mixing with what remains of Europe’s dispossessed and disgruntled elite.

Karl likes to enjoy life, and seems keen to distance himself from the world beyond the bubble of dances, bars and smoking lounges he finds himself in. He takes care to dress well and has impeccable manners, but doesn’t like to talk about politics or the past. He is in his mid-30s, and acquainted with the Blauers, probably due to frequent trips between Vienna and Prague. He is fluent in German, but also speaks English and French (with a pronounced accent).

His black hair cut in a Jazz Age style, Karl is pale-skinned and dark-eyed, handsome by most standards and very upright. Had history played out differently he would have been an officer in Austro-Hungarian army and not an eager student of the arts.
