Hasse's Mayor

This man was the Mayor of the farming town Hasse in Ehrenfest's central district. His name was never mentioned.

Hasse's Mayor was a very arrogant man with little respect to anyone who didn't futher his own goals.

Due to the former High Bishop being unable to use a highbeast he travelled by coach and thus often stopped in Hasse on his way to other places. During these many visits the mayor managed to ingradiate himself to the Bezewanst through gifts of "flowers and fruits" (i.e. women and alcohol) as well as other bribes.

This connection with the High Bishop made the mayor think of himself as nearly untouchable, leading him to be arrogant not just to his citizens, but also to visiting merchants and even the occasional noble.

The orphans under his supervision are treated very poorly. They are worked hard, but still have to get the majority of their food by foraging in the forest. If they disobayed he beat them.

The first Rozemyne hears of the mayor is when the Gilberta Company and Gil, acompanied by tax officials including Lord Kantna are sent out to investigate potential places for new orphanages and workshops outside of Ehrenfest City. Unaware of Bezewanst's demise, Hasse's mayor is very uncooperative and exceptionally rude to Benno, believing that his connection to the High Priest will shield him from any consequence for his actions. During this visit the mayor signs a contract with Kantna over the sale of the two orphan girls Nora and Marthe.
