A popular but preposterous rumour has it that the prince is responsible for the continuing concealed existence of a mad and monstrous twin brother, reared in secret and let out only at night to prevent him preying on the palace's wealthy and important guests. ĭespite his growing confidence in matters of state, arms and his excellent character, Prince Luitpold does not command the affection of Altdorfers. Luitpold was tutored in archery by Johann von Mecklenberg and fencing by Leos von Liebwitz. Instead, in the case of Karl Franz' death, his titles would be divided, with Luitpold inheriting the Princedom of Altdorf and his infant sister Alia inheriting his position as Elector Countess of Reikland. When Wolfgang was revealed to be compromised by the Purple Hand after the events of the Turmoil of 2512, Karl Franz officially married Maria-Luise, yet did not chose to name Luitpold as his sole heir. As Maria-Luise is not Karl Franz's legitimate wife, Luitpold has instead been legitimised as his designated heir of the Imperial capital of Altdorf, in contrast to his successor as the Grand Prince and future Elector Count of Reikland, who is Karl Franz's legitmately born nephew Wolfgang Holswig-Abenauer.

Prince Luitpold is the son of Karl Franz and his lover and distant cousin Maria-Luise von Walfen. He is further characterised as a naïf, emotionally needy, and indecisive. Despite being Karl Franz's son, Luitpold is not his successor as the Grand Prince of Reikland, a title that would normally be held by the heir to the Imperial throne. Luitpold is the legitimised bastard son and designated heir of Emperor Karl Franz, and named after his grandfather, Emperor Luitpold I. The Emperor Karl Franz and his family Prince Luitpold is on Karl Franz's right.
