Ladewig has two sisters, one of whom - Anna - Rabenstein met on their
last expedition to Frauenberg. He is dedicated to his wife Tatyana and their
newborn daughter, as he is to his duties as Sergeant of the Turb. He attempts
to be even-handed where the men are concerned and to lead by example. His
closest friend at the covenant is undoubtedly Sir Waldemar. Although their
is some competition between the two rittern, it is due to the devotion
to chivalrous ideals and dutiful notions which they both share.

aving joined Rabenstein in 1211, Ladewig
has slowly and quietly earned the trust and admiration of most of its members,
such that when Bertoul was banished from Rabenstein in 1213 for killing
Brother Meshach (as told in the tale Babdh
the Old Crone, Act I), Sir Ladewig was chosen to become Sergeant of
the Turb over other candidates such as Alexandra the Amazon and fellow knight
Sir Waldemar. While Sir Erik the Miles remains
the mightiest warrior at the covenant, Ladewig represents the more noble
aspects of chivalry. His marriage to Tatyana (along with the birth of their
daughter, Natalia) has given him even firmer ties to Rabenstein and has
helped bring some sense of normality to the otherwise strange nature of
the place (which Ladewig is unfortunately oblivious to).
