Hans von Zettour

"Horrible things have many friends. Take bad news, for instance: you always get a lot at once."

- Hans von Zettour

Lieutenant General Hans von Zettour is a staff officer in the Imperial army, often praised as a vital pillar of the Imperial Army along with his partner Kurt von Rudersdorf.

Possessing a very academically inclined personality, Zettour is known for his careful and thought out decisions when planning strategies, often weighing the risk against the reward. Having a keen eye for those like him, he was one of Tanya von Degurechaff's early supporters after she convinced him of the need of an elite squad of battle mages that would go behind enemy lines to attack the enemy's rear. After putting this measure into action he put Degurechaff in charge of the squadron, much to her displeasure.

Zettour and Degurechaff later came up with a strategy to break through the Francois Republic's front lines. Using a combination of experimental rocket technology and Degurechaff's mage squad, the plan proved successful, breaking the Francois lines and forcing them to capitulate, though much of their government, navy, and army managed to escape to their holdings in Africa.

He was also instrumental in the creation of the experimental Salamander Kampfgruppe, a combined arms battalion that was another idea of Degurechaff that she later came to lead.
