Christian Friedrich Stockmar
Confidant and advisor to King Leopold and Prince Albert, a key influence on their lives and decisions.

"The importance of reason, duty, and self-sacrifice. He believes in using one's influence to promote the welfare of others, but is always wary of the dangers of power and ambition."
Worldview
A pragmatic and realistic one, shaped by his experiences in European politics. He sees the world as a place of constant struggle and is always looking for ways to mitigate its evils.
Personality
Discreet, intelligent, and disinterested, but also melancholic, cautious, and somewhat pessimistic. He is a schemer for good, driven by a strong sense of duty and a desire to improve the world.
In Their Own Words
"The young man ought to have not merely great ability, but a right ambition, and great force of will as well."
"Mistakes, misunderstandings, obstructions, which come in vexatious opposition to one's views, are always to be taken for just what they are--namely, natural phenomena of life, which represent one of its sides, and that the shady one."
"Love, Honesty, Truth. All those whose minds are warped, or who are destitute of true feeling, will BE APT TO MISTAKE YOU, and to persuade themselves and the world that you are not the man you are--or, at least, may become..."
