Florian III (born 3 January 1884) is a Rotgeheiman soldier and nobleman in the Verteidigungsstaffel. He is a Sturmbannführer (Major) serving as the Battalion Executive Officer in the 1st Panzer Battalion, 1st Panzer Regiment, 1st VS-Panzer Division Kaiser Florian von Horn. He is the son of Florian II, short-lived Kaiser of Rotgeheim. He is also the grandson of Florian I, the longest-reigning Kaiser, and the great-grandson of Kaiser Richtar Steffan, the Kaiser of Northern Prussia. Florian III is known throughout Rotgeheim for his heroism and valor in battle. The Verteidigungsstaffelsbericht (the Verteidigungsstaffel Report; a newspaper report that distinguishes units and persons in battle for their bravery) mentioned Florian III several times during his career during the 10 Days War. He participated in the Battle of Bloody Gulch, the Battle of Widerhausen, and the Battle of Elssler, in all but the first where he was referenced in the Verteidigungsstaffelsbericht for his bravery.

Personal Life
