Hildebrand

Doctor Hildebrand (alias of Paul DeDamme) was the doctor that helped Aurora Kuis recover after she crashed her car and lost her memories, brother to Beatrice DeDamme and son of Blanche DeDamme and her husband.

History
Hildebrand was born into the DeDamme family as the eldest child and was given the name Paul. After the murder of their mother by Jezail, their butler James presumably raised Paul and his sister Beatrice, who were only 10 and 8 at the time. Paul left DeDamme manor and changed his name in order to pursue a career in medicine and his sister Beatrice became the DeDamme matriarch.

After a young woman had had a car accident just outside Hildebrand's clinic, he found her and helped her recover. He recognized the amnesiac girl as Marjorie van Duivendrecht, a Dutch orphan he researched. He decided to not tell her about her identity and name her Aurora, after the late queen of Waldonia, his distant cousin. He forced her to become a thief so he could eventually have her steal the Waldonian Crown Jewels and make him the rightful heir to the Waldonian Throne.

He soon fell ill however and wasn't able to see his plan come to fruition. He died peacefully in his own clinic and left his notebook with notes about Aurora's past, the Waldonian royal family and the DeDammes to Robert Ryunosuke, the man Hildebrand thought to be Aurora's father.
