Europa Occidilantis

A young man of considerable wealth, Berthold has a well-groomed, almost foppish appearance, with carefully styled blond hair and a neatly trimmed beard. He wears finely tailored but somewhat gaudy clothing, adorned with expensive jewelry, and carries himself with an air of self-importance. His eyes often betray a lack of intelligence.

Berthold is arrogant and overbearing, convinced of his own superiority due to his noble birth and wealth. He is quick to boast about his possessions and exploits, often exaggerating or fabricating stories to impress others. He has a shallow understanding of chivalry and honor, viewing them more as social tools than genuine virtues. He is also quite gullible and easily manipulated by flattery.

Sir Berthold is the son of a minor noble family from a nearby region. He has recently arrived in Nové Město, seeking to expand his influence and find a suitable wife. He has become infatuated with Anička, drawn to her beauty and lively spirit, but views her as a mere object of his desire rather than a person with her own agency.
