“
I am Ludwig Van Beethoven! None have ever matched my skill, none ever will! Allow me to present to you the abilities of a true artist!!!”
Music was Ludwig’s one true love and he poured every ounce of his being into creating it, even through the darkest sections of life. He would spend hours upon hours composing and playing to express release the music that possessed him into the world. Now, as a Servant, Ludwig once again releases the music playing inside his mind as a weapon.
With a flick of his fingers, Ludwig is able to turn the very air around him into instruments blasting concussive noise. Drums and trumpets blast with the force of cannons. Violins and cellos screech and tear like blades. The piano, grand in scale, surrounds his opponent in an inescapable bombardment of noise. This is the main weapon Ludwig utilizes throughout the war for it is the only weapon he knows how to wield.
Liebe Ist Ein Krachender Stern

“
Bursting with passion, yet my heart remains hollow. Perhaps these hands were never meant to hold anyone. Come to me, my star, let us burn out together.”
Love never ended well for Ludwig. His heart always found itself snagged by beautiful aristocratic women Ludwig had no chance of ever being with. His passion for them burned with the ferocity of a star, writing letters and song for them, and when they broke his heart as they always did, the ‘star’ would come crashing back to Earth, dull and destructive.
Unrelated to this, in 1932, a meteorite observed by German astronomers Karl Reinmuth, was named Ludwig 1815 in the composer’s honor.
Named after the composition dedicated to one of Ludwig’s many loves, Giulietta Guicciardi, Ludwig allows his heart to be filled with that love once more while he sits and plays the song. As it progresses, a light begins to shine in the sky, growing larger and larger until it becomes clear. A recreation of Ludwig 1815 hurtles down from space, aimed at Ludwig, burning up with his passion. The explosion upon impact will level any fortress beneath it and almost certainly kill the composer. Though he could potentially escape, it is rare he would wish to continue to use, making Moonlight Sonata his last card in a war, his requiem.
