Von Carstein
From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
The Von Carsteins are an ancient dynasty of Soulblight whose origins date back to the World-That-Was. Mannfred von Carstein, current head and progenitor of the dynasty, was not the first of the Von Carsteins to prowl that ancient world but did make himself the most infamous.[1a][3b]
Overview
Throughout the ages most of Mannfred's blood-spawn have been slain by great heroes, descended into insanity, cast of their heritage to forge their own dynasties, or slain by their own jealous Mortarch sire. As such there are few true Von Carsteins in the Mortal Realms. Regardless a great number of dynasties born of Mannfred's get still pledge loyalty to him and his Legion of Night.[3a]
