	Oh and apparently in Vermintide 2's new DLC, it's mentioned from Kruber that he believes Karl Franz raised everyone's tax in order to buy more [[hat]]s for his collection (probably to compete with that [[Boris Todbringer\|Ulric worshiping dick]] from middenheim). He also think that Franz should give everyone cool magic swords in order to strengthen the Empire. Little did Kruber know these magic swords are very hard to create, expensive, require rare materials and that if Karl Franz could make do that, he certainly would. This also proves that not a lot of people in the Empire knew a thing or two about their Emperor (no matter how good they are) especially if the person was raised in the country side (which Kruber indeed came from). Granted, this was set in a period where the long distance communication invention like the telephone have not yet come to existence, and even in periods with long distance communication everybody bitches about taxes.

			==Tabletop Crunch==
			Despite being the big boss of the Empire, Karl Franz was ''not'' present in the 6e Empire army book, despite [[Luthor Huss]] and [[Balthasar Gelt]] getting to be there. Instead, his stats were tucked away on [[Games Workshop]] website, which back in the day was actually a cool place with fiction and updated stats, not just a goddamned online store.

			In 6e, Karl Franz could be taken in an Empire army (obviously) as its General at the cost of both a Lord slot and a Hero slot. He has Movement 4, Weapon Skill 5, Ballistic Skill 5, Strength 4, Toughness 4, Wounds 5, Initiative 5, Attacks 3, and Leadership 10. He wears a suit of Full Plate Armor and costs 665 points (440 for himserlf, 225 for his [[griffon]], Deathclaw) - but then he ''also'' has to spend points for a magic weapon; either +100 points for a Runefang, or +180 points for the legendary Hammer of Sigmar, Ghal Maraz, which ignores armor, wounds automatically, multiplies each Wound into d3 wounds, and grants its bearer +2 attacks. At least you don't have to spend points for his Silver Seal, which grants him (and Deathwing! a 4+ Ward Save, Magic Resistance 3, and a -1 penalty on all attacks (melee AND ranged) made against him. He has the following special rules:
			* Leader of Men: Karl is Immune to Panic, broadcasts his Leadership 18" instead of 12", and units using Karl's Leadership can also re-rolled failed Psychology tests.
			* The Reiksguard: Up to half of the Knightly Order units in the army may be upgraded to Inner Circle, and Greatswords become a Core choice.
			* Deathclaw: If Karl Franz is killed but his Griffon survives, the griffon will automatically pass his Leadership test for having his rider killed, and will Hate the unit/model that killed Karl Franz.

Although considered to be a formidable statesman and diplomat, Karl Franz is also a formidable warrior with a record of [[/tg/ gets shit done\|getting shit done]].

	Karl Franz is the son and heir of the late Emperor Luitpold. At his father's death he was nominated for the Throne of the Empire but was widely considered too inexperienced. With the help of the Count of Ostland he managed to get all but one vote among the Count Electors and the Church of [[Sigmar]] to vote for him. In the following years, Karl Franz has proved to be just as formidable a warrior as he is a statesman, leading the Imperial Army in numerous defenses, wielding the Hammer of Sigmar and riding the [[griffon]] Deathclaw. He is also the only one capable of riding the only dragon in the Empire.		Karl Franz is the son and heir of the late Emperor Luitpold.

He is also the only one capable of riding the only dragon in the Empire.

	Recently due the End Times he got pawned badly and stabbed through the chest by Walach (a Vampire Count) who started worshipping Khorne. He then fell hundreds of feet to the ground but passed his 4+ ward save and survived though Deathclaw was captured when he tried to protect the fallen Emperor. After regaining his strength a bit he freed Deathclaw, and was found by Gregor Martak (the new Supreme Patriarch) who healed Deathclaw and get them back to Altdorf in time for the siege. Unfortunately Karl took on Otto Glott who coincidentally was also stabbed through the chest recently, but that had already regenerated and he cut both of Karl Franz's arms off (and that makes him an anti-[[Abbadon]], a competent armless man that gets shit done). At this point Karl Franz called out to Sigmar, and coincidentally this was the same time the High Elves were trying to bind the Winds of Magic, and seeing an opportunity Sigmar took the Wind of Heaven and bound it to Karl Franz, this gave him his arms back, gave him the ability to create his hammer out of nothing, and gave him the ability to shoot lightning out of his hands. He immediately used these new abilities to slap the [[Glottkin]] back to Nurgle's kitchen, and cleanse the city of Nurgle's forces.
