	'''Marius Leitdorf''' <s>is</s> was the [[Elector Count]] of [[Averland]]. He was also insane. Like, seriously, standards for sanity in Warhammer Fantasy are a bit lower than your average setting's, but Marius was still kooky enough to be publicly known as the Mad Count of Averland. He routinely relied on the advice of his warhorse, Daisy Kurt von Helboring II, as equal to or superior than the insights of his advisors, was a highly mercurial ruler, and was known for alternating between periods of intense melancholy and bouts of screaming rage. At his command, the armies of Averland waged wars against forests, swarms of bees and armies of fish... and for once we actually don't mean aquatic [[beastmen]], even though those are presumably a thing in the Warhammer world. Also, he had a lifelong rivalry with [[Kurt Helborg]], who ~~loathed Marius' craziness~~.		'''Marius Leitdorf''' <s>is</s> was the [[Elector Count]] of [[Averland]]. He was also insane.

Despite being mad as a sackful of wet [[skaven]], Marius was a valuable asset to the Empire when he could stay sane for a few days at a time.
