He was saved from the ocean by his paternal aunt Maria. Young Bastian soon found himself the target of a few "accidents" and nearly died being thrown from horse and into the sea to drown as a 12 year old boy. If only he didn't have that pesky first son of his! He immediately married a 'suitable' aristocratic 2nd wife, Theodora, to erase his coarse, commoner 1st wife, and had the 2nd son he always wanted, with a pure, noble bloodline: Franz. With his commoner wife dead, Jeff Klausitz found himself in possession of a sprawling estate, a booming business, and flush with enough money to keep it going, so he turns his eyes towards getting himself and the Klausitz name into the aristocracy. He also picked up the former estates of fallen aristocrats creating a new family seat, and place to launch the Klausitz family into the aristocracy.īastian's mother was killed off to look like an accident. Jeff then jumped on the capitalist bandwagon, investing in railroads and becoming a wildly successful Robber Baron. Jeff Klausitz, of a cultured and well-off merchant family targeted this slum man's daughter and charmed her into marrying him. Bastian's maternal grandfather, of the Illis family, was a money lender and 'antiques dealer' (wink wink) in the slums, and became rich from it.
