Name: Otto Kurtz
Species: Otter
Age: Deceased
Birthdate: October 26th, 1759
Nation of Residence: Rosferia
Status: Minister of Justice
Appearance: Otto is a standard looking otter, though tends to use blue dye for his fur to mask his previous appearance, having originally hailed from Gradvar. His head is sleek, like an arrowhead, though there are no noticeable markings or scars on his body. Far-sighted, he dons a pair of reading spectacles when he needs to see something close up.
Personality: Otto is very prone to observing and watching more than he speaks. This may seem odd as he used to engage in a profession where he did nothing but speak, but generally one has to move this otter enough in order to get him talking. One of his favorite pastimes is to watch beasts go by his parlor, observing their mannerisms and ways of communicating. His eyesight is very sharp and keen (despite being near sighted), and he has the ability to discern things others may miss at casual glance. He tends to records his thoughts about the current state of affairs in his journal, and some my wonder why he isn't inclined to hire himself out as a reporter. He can be warm to his friends, but can seem detached to others who don't know him.
Biography: Otto Kurtz is originally from the Kingdom of Gradvar but left that country in order to avoid the mandatory conscription law that stated all males at the age of 17 are to serve in their nation's military for at least 5 years of compulsory service. Fleeing the draft, he came to Rosferia, dying his fur so that any Gradvar agents who had been sent looking for him wouldn't recognize him. Becoming a schoolteacher, he taught in one of Cosnair's city schools for nearly 15 years before the Revolution broke out. As a member of the middle class, Otto eagerly joined the rebels in the Assembly and eventually became a member of the National Constituent Assembly, Rosferia's first attempt at democratic government.
Serving for a very vocal two years as an advocate of better education standards, Otto suddenly found himself out of a job when the National Constituent Assembly dissolved in favor of the Legislative Assembly. One of the conditions that the members of the Constituent Assembly had sworn to was that they would not run for election to the new government, and thus Otto was disbarred from joining the new legislature.
Heading back to his school only to find that his job had since been filled, the otter decided to open up a new sort of parlor that was becoming all the rage in Cosnair, and indeed the continent. Becoming a professionally certified hypnotist, Otto started a new profession. His parlor is one of the most popular in Cosnair, and many come to spend a slow afternoon or evening relaxing within the calming and peaceful walls of his parlor. One may pay a fee to be put under either by him or one of his assistants. Some do it for fun, others to just simply relax, and still others come for clinical reasons.
Getting by on a decent living, Otto watches the growing turbulence in the country with curious eyes, wondering where his nation will next turn this coming decade.....
Becoming a leader of the Revolution itself, the otter was part of the Cordeliers Club for a few years before finally taking part in the August 10th Uprising. After the conclusion of this uprising and the removal of Rosferia's King from power, Otto Kurtz has become Minister of Justice for Rosferia itself, although he did not actively seek the position. He plans to make use of it until the elections to the new National Convention begin, which he holds an interest in joining.
Having joined the Convention, he was ousted in a coup by Milton Dragons, who had him executed in April of 1794.
