Ludwig is a main character in the series Axis Powers Hetalia. He is the representation of Germany, and leads the Axis Powers.

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.

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

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.
