Kempf is a general in Grannvale’s imperial forces. He’s a member of House Friege, descendants of the crusader Thrud, and it’s kind of gone to his head.

He has a profound jealousy of Reinhardt, who, incidentally, is often called the second coming of Thrud. Kempf also picks fights with Reinhardt’s sister, Olwen, at every opportunity, too…

A shrewd tactician, Kempf has a talent for unconventional strategies. Unfortunately, this includes sending his allies to their deaths if it creates a chance to defeat his foes, and even ditching his allies and fleeing if it looks like he’ll lose. Yikes.

Okay, so there’s some room for improvement personality-wise here, and we might be stretching the definition of “Hero” a little, but I still think that Kempf can put his calculating mind to good use and help the Order of Heroes—ideally, without sacrificing anyone in the name of strategy!
