Alfred von Landsberg came from a prominent noble family with at least five generations of lineage, known for constructing secret tunnels beneath Neue Sanssanssouci Palace on Odin under imperial decree. A rear admiral in the Lippstadt League during the Imperial Civil War, he supported but did not actively participate in an invasion of Odin. After the League’s defeat, he went into exile on Fezzan, where he sold star sapphire cuff links given by Kaiser Friedrich IV and wrote a poetry and short story collection titled "A History of the Lippstadt War," which was rejected for inaccuracies and inappropriate romanticism. Later recruited by Rupert Kesserling, an aide to Fezzan’s Landesherr Adrian Rubinsky, for a plot against the Galactic Empire, Landsberg partnered with Captain Leopold Schumacher and used forged passports to return to Odin. Exploiting the palace tunnels built by his ancestors, they abducted the child emperor Erwin Josef II and fled aboard the Fezzan ship Rocinante to the Free Planets Alliance. On Heinessen, Landsberg, Schumacher, and nobleman Jochen von Remscheid established a Goldenbaum government-in-exile; Landsberg became the young emperor’s primary caretaker and was promoted to vice admiral. When the Alliance fell to Reinhard von Lohengramm, Landsberg fled with Erwin Josef and Schumacher. His mental state deteriorated sharply, leading to the loss of custody of the emperor. Eventually, military police discovered Landsberg with a corpse he falsely claimed was the starved kaiser, and he was documented as insane. His quixotic resistance, rooted in feudal notions of chivalry and dynastic loyalty, ultimately clashed with the indifference of the child emperor and the pragmatic realities of Reinhard’s new order.
