Artur von Benno Baumeister/Relationships

Kurt Baumeister
Kurt is his 1st son, and was until his death, the presumptive heir to the household and Knight peerage. Artur shunned all his other children to maintain the status quo to have Kurt inherit even though some of his other children where better suited. In hindsight he stated that if Erich had inherited he would have maintained a good relationship with Wend and used him to benefit the territory, unlike Kurt who only saw him as the enemy.

Hermann Baumeister
Hermann is his 2nd son, who married into the branch family of the Baumeister household, an hereditary retainer position which acts as the Junior Commander in times of war.

After Kurt's death and Artur's retirement, Hermann succeeded Artur to the Knight peerage.

Erich Baumeister
Erich is his 5th son who has charisma and intelligence. He can read, write and do math unlike Kurt who cannot do any of them. He is the closest with Wend.

Wendelin Baumeister
Wendelin is his 8th son, and the main protagonist of the series. When he found out Wend could use magic, he told Kurt Baumeister not to bother him and let him has his independence. He wanted Wend to leave as not to cause a succession problem.
