Biography[]
Born Cutler Gustavus von Tischendorf, he was the son of Jennifer von Tischendorf, a mercenary employee of Gustav Anderman's Liegnitz, Ltd. (HHA7.1: TR)
In the early 1500s PD, he worked with Gustav Anderman when the latter established the Andermani Empire and conquered the Nimbalkar System. (MA2)
In 1528 PD[2], he was one of a cabal of conspirators that attempted an unsuccessful coup against Anderman, but Gensonne was only peripherally involved and partially redeemed himself.

He would subsequently establish the Volsung Mercenaries and bestow the rank of Admiral on himself. (MA2,MA4)
