Thaddeus Braun is a German immigrant but speaks with only a trace of an accent that grows stronger when he is agitated. He is a ruthless business and a shrewd attorney. HIs wife, Anja, is a sweet woman whose pies often win the annual harvest bake-off. Their son, Jakob, is an 18 year old layabout, living on his parent’s money and the fear he can bully out of others.

Braun owns the Braun Building, a 3-story edifice on Swan Street that houses his office, a barber shop, and the local land assessor’s office.

Braun has since been exposed as a cultist devoted to Baphomet. He has left town.
