'''Anton''', the eldest brother, was killed by a bomb planted by Herman at a banquet, which also claimed the lives of 322 guests. The second, '''Otto''', was killed by a hit-and-run driver. The third, '''Vilhelm''', was found in his room, his body riddled with bolter shells. Herman himself was found on the scene with a smoking bolter in his hand, but brazenly proclaimed Vilhelm's death to be a suicide. The authorities investigating Vilhelm's death were too afraid to confront Herman, for he was next in line for the throne. When his father died, from a suspicious combination of grief and spidervenom poisoning, Herman assumed total power over an entire planet.
He was known to be as a decadent ruler and he with little concern with affairs of governance. He used fear to control the population to maintain his position of power. He was however, personally fearless (whether this was a sign of actual bravery or just blind stupidity is unknown) and ruthless to the point of insanity. When the [[Ork]] threat appeared, he had little grasp of the magnitude of the problem and had even less of an idea how to deal with it.
