History
Imperial noble
By January 792 UC (483 IC / 3592 CE), Count Herxheimer had gotten into a dispute with the husband of Viscountess Dorothea von Schafhausen over mining rights of a vein of newly-discovered hydro metal. Since he knew that Schafhausen's husband was too old too duel and that no professional duelist would help them, Herxheimer challenged them to a duel. However, Reinhard von Lohengramm (then Müsel) ended up agreeing to duel for her husband, as she was one of the few allies that his sister Annerose von Grünewald had at court. (DUEL: 'Chapter I')
The duel gained quite a bit of attention from the other high nobles, and Herxheimer initially hired a master duelist to fight against Müsel. but that man was killed by an assassin hired by Sussanna von Beenemünde, another noble who opposed Annerose and Reinhard, who then installed himself as Herxheimer's agent, in order to kill Reinhard when the fought. When the duel took place, it occurred in one of Littenheim's arenas, who made it available for Herxheimer. The duel was attended by many other nobles of the Imperial court. Although it seemed he would win the duel at first, a group of Imperial Guards intervened before it concluded, saying that Friedrich IV ordered it to stop and that the mining rights would be split between them equally. (DUEL: 'Chapter II', 'Chapter III')
Defection and death
In December of that year, Herxheimer found information that Duke Otho von Braunschweig's daughter Elisabeth carried a genetic disease passed down from her mother. However, since his wife was a sister of Braunschweig's wife, it would mean that Littenheim's daughter Sabine would also be ineligible to inherit the throne. As a result, the Marquis tried to have Herxheimer killed, and poisoned his wife. The count attempted to defect to the Alliance with his daughter, Margareta, by flying through the Fezzan corridor, but ended up dying during a decompression accident. (RET: 'Chapter II', 'Chapter IV')
