# Count von Waldemar — 813 character guide

> Count von Waldemar in 813 by Maurice Leblanc.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Waldemar, Count de Waldemar

**First appearance:** 0005-iv-prince-sernine-at-work

## Snapshot

A colossal German count whose bulk nearly unseats the donkey carrying him through Capri, and whose loyalties run deeper than his comic girth suggests.

## Who they are

Waldemar moves through the intrigue as a figure of almost operatic size, trusted enough to ride beside an emperor and answer for a donkey's temper as for his own. His presence ties the Kesselbach affair to grand-duchy politics and the vanished realm of Veldenz, where thrones are traded and marriages arranged. He matters because he embodies the respectable, heavyweight world Lupin means to manipulate, and because his steadiness makes the betrayals around him land harder.
