Baron Alexander von Bach

 is a character on The Empress. He is portrayed by Alexander Finkenwirth.

Biography
Alexander von Bach is the Interior Minister. Like Emperor Franz Joseph, he wants peace and does not want to fight in wars.

Bach comes from a village quite far from Vienna. He sometimes wonders how he ended up at Schönbrunn Palace and feels as if it's all a dream.

Throughout The Empress
Alexander von Bach persuaded the Emperor to not join in any wars. Archduchess Sophie disproved of his opinion and said that if the empire crumbled, she would hang him first.

Leontine von Apafi returned to her room and was about to enter, when she was stopped by Bach. He had been mesmerised by Leontine and nervously asked her out on a date to look at paintings. Leontine agreed, and in the corner of her eye, saw Amalia leaving her room.

Bach reported disturbing news to Franz, that Baron Georg von Sina cancelled the loan because Franz broke his promise by sending sizeable troops to the border. He angrily dismissed Bach.

Personality
Bach is rather reserved and advocates for peace.
