Baron Wulfenbach Missing

 
Among the personalities in the Steamlands, one was from online comics: Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (Klauswulfenbach Outlander). Baron Wulfenback, often simply known as "The Baron" based his persona on the character from the steampunk online comic/graphic novel "Girl Genius." A decade ago, he was a regular at events at the Steelhead community. He also had his own sim, of which a build of the floating fortress in the online comic flew over. He would also host Walpurgistnaucht parties every spring. In 2014, the Newser would interview him.
 
Sadly, it seems the Baron has dropped out of sight.  One of the residents of the CDS community messaged the Newser that Klaus hadn't been on for a while and his sim had closed. A look at one of the groups he was in showed he was last logged in on July 31, 2023. Messaging a couple steampunk groups on Discord, no one who responded knew why he hadn't logged on since then.

If Baron Wulfenback really has left, it would mean one of the more unique personalities from the steampunk communities is gone. Hopefully his absence is temporary.

  1. I have a terrible thought. But have no data to back it up. Does anyone know anything about his rl person? Because august of last year, people in two places would poof without a trace. Id hate to think he could be one of them, but it is a possibiity.

  2. I was wondering about him only yesterday. The Consulate of Europa Wulfenbach in New Toulouse is still there, but I was concerned to see he hadn't been in SL since July 23.
