I'll start: Gilles de la Rais! I assume he's based on this fella, who has quite the interesting and morbid back story:

Band named Macabre made a pretty great song about him. Here is the part that gets stuck on my mind every time I see him in game:

Gilles De rais was the man
Who cut up the French children
What Gilles De Rais would do then
Is masturbate on their organs

(click to show/hide)

And the song itself:
I find the idea of defending someone who isn't been violently raped unacceptable on moral grounds.

"Krems ist eine der bedeutendsten Ruinenanlagen der Steiermark. An ihrer Stelle dürfte bereits um die Mitte des 12. Jahrhundert ein erster bescheidener Wehrbau im Auftrag der Salzburger Erzbischöfe errichtet worden sein.

Der Ausbau zur stattlichen Burg erfolgte aber vermutlich erst zu Beginn des 13. Jahrhunderts unter Otto von Krems-Leonrode. 1278 wird sie als castrum Chremse bezeichnet. Der nördliche Teil des Burgareals war ein Lehen des Salzburger Erzbistums, während es sich beim südlichen Teil um ein freies Eigen handelte. 1160 scheint ein Wulfing von Krems urkundlich auf. Wulfings Sohn Otto starb 1234 ohne Nachkommen. Seine Witwe heiratete Hartnit von Rabenstein. Dieser ließ Krems von seinen Dienstmannen verwalten, die sich nach der Burg nannten."
