August del Reto

August del Reto is a minor noble in The Protectorate-Commonwealth, serving as the Count of the Free City of Sholstag. He has long stood in opposition of the Emperor, and has continued in his position only through the support of the neighboring counties, which have strategic interests in Sholstag. Tried several times for treason, del Reto has nonetheless persevered as a popular ruler within his city, though he has most recently run into troubles with the law due to his evasion of imperial taxes. The present status of del Reto is unknown, but he was last seen being escorted to Howenburg by an armed force.
