Gustav Breidenstein was the authoritarian Prince of Berlin until his Domain was divided in two, and his leadership over west Berlin usurped by his own childe. Gustav remained in control of the eastern part of the city, and was obsessed with taking the western part back. In 1997 he suffered Final Death after being contaminated by the Blood Curse. After his demise the city of Berlin was unified once again, but this time under the leadership of Wilhelm Waldburg.
