- The Freiherr and Freifrau von Jäger, baron and baroness, respectively, had taken care of the lands and keeping up order in the town of Donzdorf, Stuttgart for as long as the locals could hope to remember. Freiherr von Jäger owned much of the land surrounding the castle and most of his property around the proud old building was dedicated to his greatest passion, that of breeding horses. By trade he was a judge and he had worked at a court in Stuttgart for much of his younger years. The man had also served in the German cavalry during the Great War and after taking part in various battles, had attained the rank of Rittmeister. As the Great War ended in Germany's defeat, Freiherr von Jäger retreated back to the quiet town life, directing all of his attention to taking care of his lands and of course, his precious stock of Holsteiner horses. It seemed like an ideal enough an image, but something was, of course, sorely missing. The Freiherr had no heir and for some reason he and his wife had been unable to produce any offspring. This weighed heavily on Roland's mind and he was certain that he would be left without children, as if some strange curse was hanging over him. Hence when their son was born, he was brought to the world with much clamor and reveling. The sandy-haired and grey-eyed boy was christened after his grand-father, Rolf and being the only child of the couple, was immediately placed under strict guard. He was schooled at home and due to not having any siblings, spent much of his time alone. Maybe due to being coddled and guarded so closely much of his life, Rolf had grown to become a very adventurous and wild boy, as if all the years of solitude had only caused his energy to bottle up and now he had to constantly seek new ways of releasing it. Things did not stay quite so blissful for very long. He made new friends quickly with the children from the village, but one day noticed a change in the way his friends treated him. They were careful, almost fearful, and Rolf could not understand any of it. It never came to Rolf's knowledge, but the parents of the village children had heard of their own offspring's new playmate and had told their children to be very careful around him. Should anything happen to the Freiherr's son, trouble would surely fall upon the villagers. Rolf found his friends shying away from him - it was easier to continue having rambunctious and carefree games when Rolf was not around. Rolf sought out his friends and angrily commanded them to "go back to being normal". He did not want to go back to playing all alone and to being herded by his dreadfully boring nanny. The other children, in their childish fear, tried their best to comply, dreading the impending beating from their parents were they to fail in their rather confusing task. Rolf soon found out that his former friends were now more like his pawns and he could order them around at whim. He used this new ability to full extent, forcing the other children into doing silly and often dangerous tasks, just for his own amusement. He found that his new position as leader of the other children pleased him immensely and he did not realize just what kind of an effect his childish commands had on the other children. As the children grew older, their childish games slowly came to an end and their time was occupied by school, Rolf continuing his studies at home. He was dearly loved by his parents and although the Freiherr could hardly deny anything from his son, they made sure that the young Jäger got a proper education. In addition to learning about history, languages, politics and music, he was well-groomed in etiquette and social graces, from dancing to knowing the purpose and proper order of using the various plates, glasses and utensils at a dinner table. Rolf learned to ride at a very young age and found himself spending a lot of time at the stables whenever he could. At the age of 12, and after some amount of whining and begging, Rolf was given his own horse by his father. The boy named the dark bay mare Lotti and with his father's careful instruction, proceeded to train the young horse, learning quite a lot about horsemanship in the process. The two became inseparable and young Rolf was often seen galloping on the fields surrounding Donzdorf on the back of his dear Lotti. He also frequently brought the horse with him on hunting trips, an activity which Rolf found himself greatly enjoying. It was soon after this when Rolf's previously almost dormant spirit of maliciousness raised it's head once again. One fine June afternoon Rolf walked inside the stables to take Lotti out for a brief walk and he found the mare's saddle lying in the middle of the stable corridor, dirty and untended. The guilty party could of course be no other than the young stable boy from the town, hired to tend to the horses and their equipment just a few weeks earlier. Enraged, Rolf snatched a long and vicious riding whip from the wall, seeking the boy out and proceeding to whip him with it, feeling little remorse as the boy cried and pleaded for mercy, trying to shield himself the best he could. Who knows what might have happened to the boy if the stable master had not intervened, grabbing Rolf's arm and forcing him to stop. Rolf survived the incident with little consequences and had to only suffer a long and serious lecture given to him by his father. Roland von Jäger had always been a fair and righteous man, but his son had apparently failed to inherit any of these qualities.
