Richard von Trier

His Lordship, Richard Baron von Trier (Richard Freiherr von Trier in Utagian) is the Lord Constable of the Utagian Host, the Duke of Utagia's private army, numbering 80,000 strong. He was born in the prestigeous House von Trier. His father is Prince Otto von Trier but, being second born, Richard only holds the title of Baron, his elder brother Hans being the Viscount von Trier and the heir to the title of Prince. Despite the fact that Richard von Trier holds a less prestigeous title, he is the only one in his family who is a member of the landed aristocracy and who thus holds lands and tenanted farms, allowing him to live of that income. While his brother works in the Financial industry, Richard became a soldier in the Army where he rose to the rank of Lieutenant General and then entered the service of the Grand DUke of Utagia who made him Lord COnstable of the Host.

During the failed September Revolution of 3096, he led the Utagian bannermen to crush a large column of rebel fighters which were massing on the Orange border. Although reinforcement from the Holy Imperial Army regulars were not available, he helped the Church carry out a purge in neighbouring Orange, being ruthless towards traitors but showing mercy to their families.

He was commanded by the Duke to lead an expeditionary force of the Utagian Host into Darnussia in support of the government. However, since he holds real war experience, the leader of the JCLA, the Viscount Hofburn, convinced von Trier to be the supreme commander of the Luthorian Royalists in Darnussia, commanding not only his Utagian Host but also the JCLA and the Luthori Guard of Honour.
