Name: Frederick-Alexander Van Den Brucke
Date of Birth: 14 May 1871
Place of Birth: Saint Petersburg
Position: Heir of the Van Den Brucke's dynasty and Grandson of Baron Van Den Brucke
Nationality: Flemish exile in Russia and Austria
Ideology: Fascist
Bio: After the fall of Beauffort's regime in 1866 Baron Van Den Brucke fled to Saint Petersburg, in the deeply Reactionary Russia. From there he continued his opposition against the restored Belgian government, but this time he renounced all attempts to work with the Belgian Conservatives through loyal proxies like de Montblanc as he felt that "even the so-called defenders of Belgian traditions have now betrayed their nation and their oaths, they're no different than King Prosper himself!"
After the Baron's death in 1885 his son Karl left politics and focused on restoring the depleted family's finances, exhausted after years of political expenditures. The Van Den Brucke's family successfully created a relatively important business between the Russian Empire and Austia-Hungary and allowed its new dynastic heir, Frederick-Alexander, to study in the most prestigious universities of Europe.
Since his youth Alexander was fascinated by his aristocratic grandfather and his fight against the decadent Jacobins who controlled Belgium only through bribery and corruption. During his studies he always tried to know what was happening in Belgium, even through his family and especially his father had already cut all relations with their former "friends" and other ultra-rightist Belgian Reactionary movements. Even through his father tried to persuade him otherwise Alexander continued to search for any news on the evolution of Belgian politics. He saw the growing Republican sentiments within Belgium and its never-ending disorder, how even the Conservatives seemed to have abandoned the path of his noble grandfather, he saw how the very aristocracy was no longer defending the rightful Belgian traditions and that even the King was now a known supporter of the vile Socialists. Belgium was suffering from what he called "the definitive degeneration of the Constitutional order created in 1833".
The Women's suffrage, the elected Senate and the dreaded Referendum on the Monarchy were the last outrage for him, seeing how the Conservatives and the Reactionaries were absolutely incapable to deal with the radical Jacobins, failing at every turn to stop the Red and Republican tide. For Alexander this was the definitive proof of the aristocracy's historical decadence into Liberalism and the end of the viability of the traditionalist policies of old, for him now only an innovative and "new" political doctrine could save Belgium, enforce a radical reform of both the Monarchy and the Aristocracy and replace the ineffective movements of Conservatism and Reactionarism.
Therefore in 1899, after he had inherited the family's patrimony at the death of his father Karl, he decided to follow the steps of his ancestor and enter into politics.
Alexander triumphantly returned to Belgium cheered by ultra-rightists and Vanderbrucksists to end what the good Baron began decades ago...
