Baron van de Wetering is a minor character who seems to be a Volunteer.

Biography

Little about him is known; he attended a Masked Ball hosted by the Duchess of Winnipeg; as it is described as "the last public event the members of the organization dared to attend together," it is likely that Baron is a Volunteer of VFD.

The Duchess says that during the salad course of that evening, Baron van de Wetering was costumed as an oak tree and caused a distraction by pretending there was a tiger underneath the table. It is unknown why he did this.

The evening ended in the Duchess's mansion being set on fire. It is unknown if he was present or survived.

Trivia

• He is likely named after English and Dutch author Janwillem van de Wetering.
