The young kid was renowned for his intrigue and witts, often outsmarting and outperforming his much older cousins in studious matters, including even the heir to the Austrian throne himself, Franz Ferdinand. a man full of arrogance, though he was extremely proud and confident, his skills were quite lacking to back up his hubristic claims. As time proved and proved again and again, the young Fritz showed his remarkable skills, and surpassed his cousin Franz, who failed miserably every time to press his claims of superiority. The young Fritz took a liking on espionage and intel-warfare, he admired and saw Sir Francis Walsingham as his model. The infamous Sir Francis was one of the first if not the first spies or spy masters, serving the English queen - Elizabeth the First - in the 1500s. Many modern espionage techniques originated from him. His missions were to secure and safeguard the mainly protestant England from the catholic world. In his life time he built many spy networks across the world, from Scotland in the north - to the deep Ottoman territories in Anatolia.

The young kid admired Sir Francis for his incredible action in the field of espionage. So much in fact, he requested from his father to buy a portrait of him that was currently being auctioned at Vienna. Costing him 40k krones, equivalent to around 5k modern day dollar. He loved and adored the detailed painting of Sir Francis, to such an extent that he hanged it infront of his bed. To look and admire upon it every time he is awoken.
