Leopold Byrvian

Life
Leopold Byrvian, son of Augustus Byrvian was born in 1835 in Tinneville. He inherited The Byrvian Shipping Company in 1852, but would be stripped of his CEO rank after plunging the company into financial crisis. Leopold saw his father's movement towards candy making and decided to push all of the company's resources into it, and sold off or shut down all of the company's ships and merchant vessels, losing their only large source of income. The company was then passed on to his son, Leopold Byrvian II, which would cause their relationship to sour. He moved to Vertebus in 1862, but would continue travelling to Tinneville to help with the business, even at the protests of Leopold II. He would drown in Tinneville Harbour in 1889 after being pushed by a dock worker who still remains unknown to this day.
