Appearance
He is a tall, muscular man with blonde hair and blue eyes. His standard uniform is generally green in the manga illustrations, but teal in the anime. However, in the first two episodes, his WWI uniform is colored green (while in the original color artwork for the webcomic, it was shown to be gray-blue).
In the manga and most artwork, Ludwig can be seen with an Iron Cross charm on the collar of his uniform, a detail that is absent from his anime design.
Personality And Interests
A serious man who always abides by the rules, Ludwig has to deal with an unreasonable boss along with the troublemaking Feliciano. He won't stand to make any mistakes, is a neat freak, and happens to have a rather pessimistic nature. His hobbies include making sweets, reading, and walking his dogs. In Episode 08, Feliciano admits to Arthur, Alfred and Francis that Ludwig is a fan of BDSM.
Relationships
Feliciano Vargas (North Italy)
Main Article: Feliciano Vargas
After discovering Feliciano hiding in a crate, Ludwig took him prisoner but eventually got annoyed and sent him back, only for the other man to come back and declare himself his ally. Despite their differences, the two have a rather close relationship, much to the disapproval of Feliciano's older brother Lovino, who hates Ludwig.
It is hinted, but not yet confirmed, that Ludwig may be the Holy Roman Empire, having lost his childhood memories.
Kiku Honda (Japan)
Main Article: Kiku Honda
The last member to join the Axis team, Kiku had known Ludwig for some time (as depicted in the original strips). He is also rather serious, but quiet and inexperienced to the outside world.
Gilbert Beilschmidt (Prussia)
Main Article: Gilbert Beilschmidt
Ludwig's older brother and drinking buddy, who refers to him as "West".
