Lucretia von Hardtz

Lucretia von Hardtz was Jürgen von Magdeburg's most trusted vassal and retainer and the Groß-Komtur of the Order of the Black Cross.

Background
Once a devout Christian who had follwoed the First Crusade, Lucretia treasured order, authority and discipline. After being Embraced, Lucretia served her sire fanatically and later turned this loyalty over to his liege, Lord Jürgen. Enarmoured into the precepts of chivalry, Lucretia believed firmly in honor and duty, preferring death before dishonor of her liege. Jürgen trained her in the art of arms and she eventually became the mistress of the secret order within the Teutonic Knights that stood under Ventrue control. She became Jürgens most influential retainer, serving him directly in Magdeburg and acting as his marshal. She accompained Jürgen in all his wars until he was assassinated on Hardestadt's orders. Resentful of such a cowardly act, she joined the Anarch Revolt and later the Ventrue antitribu.
