This Austrian commander appears beside the Russian leadership during reviews and councils, bringing the perspective and bearing of an allied army. At the council of war, he reads the battle dispositions with visible irritation, his frown and sharp gestures underscoring the strain among the commanders. His later appearances recede into the larger military story, leaving the image of the white uniform and green-plumed hat as his clearest mark.
Description
He is identified chiefly by his immaculate white military uniform, strikingly bright among the Russian officers’ darker dress. Green plumes rise from his hat, lending his formal silhouette a vivid touch of color. When addressing the council, he frowns and jerks his elbows with forceful emphasis; no further physical features are specified.
