Description: Ludwig looks to be in his early 50s. Never an aesthetic, Ludwig has no delusions about being beautiful. He is an incredibly plain, caucasian man. He usually dresses in grey woolen pants, an outdated tweed sports coat and a patchwork tweed rain hat to cover his balding head. His faded brown leather shoes and rucksack have seen better days.
Disfigurement: Ludwig's ears, eyes, mouth and nose fill with an unseemly opaque black substance that rises like thick clouds of steam from a smokestack.
Personality: Ludwig does his best to make other people happy. Happy people tend to more cooperative and less aggressive. He is a bit jumpy and can be quite droll. Ludwig is rarely capable of what other people consider to be interesting conversation, but he is always interested. Ludwig's mind is infested with knowledge of advanced physics and mathematics. Ludwig spirals tangentially in prolonged conversations.
Ludwig maintains a leather bound journal written in a symbolic language. He leaves ciphers to this journal when crafting some of the “Signposts” advising others of dangers and boons of an area. Without the journal or direct access to Ludwig's mind the ciphers are nonsensical.
History: In the mid-1990s Ludwig began his work on crafting signposts and recording encounters with other Prometheans in his journal. Ludwig has left Brands and physical markers in NW Mexico, SW United States, NW United States and parts of British Columbia. Ludwig is significantly more curious than he is cautious when it comes to attempting to engage other Prometheans. He frequently asks if people will donate advice, information or stories for his journal. Any response will be recorded, though he prefers long engaging conversations.
Rumors:
-Ludwig has been to Wasteland for a significant time.
-Ludwig is a coward.
-Ludwig is deranged.
-Ludwig created a Mockery and let it live.
-Ludwig has been killed in a horrific way within the past few months.
