[edit] Character History

Adrian is an old rival of Johannes von Lahnstein (Thomas Gumpert). In the past they loved the same woman, Francesca. Johannes married her and Adrian had later an affair with her, behind Johannes' back. In early 2007, Adrian came back to Düsseldorf and try to destroy the Lahnstein family. Later it came out that he is the biological father of Constantin von Lahnstein (Milan Marcus). Adrian used his son for his war against Johannes and cost him a heart attack. Constantin was shocked and doesn't want anything to do with his father anymore. Then Adrian helped Tanja von Anstetten (Miriam Lahnstein) to kidnapped her son Hannes from his father Ansgar von Lahnstein (Wolfram Grandezka) and helped her also to fake her son's and her own death. After Tanja is gone, Adrian began an affair with Ansgar's wife Nathalie (Jenny Winkler) and used her as he used Constantin before. He pushed Nathalie deeper in her alcohol problems and let her down after she was useless for him. To destroy Ansgar, he hired Olivia Schneider (Kristina Dörfer). She made him believe that she is pregnant and let her fake a little bit later a miscarriage to remember Ansgar of his lost on Hannes.

Adrian found a letter from his late love Francesca, who wrote him, that he also the father of Leonard von Lahnstein (Lars Korten). Adrian made a DNA-Test to proof and on Leonard's wedding day with Jana (Vanessa Jung) he became the results. He really is Leonard's father, which means Leonard's love to Johannes' daughter Sarah Hofmann (Sina-Valeska Jung) wouldn't be forbidden any longer. But it's too late - Leonard already married Jana and Adrian breaks Johannes' heart again by telling him the shocking news. But Leonard wouldn't accept Adrian as his father and wants that he keeps the truth. Adrian is delighted from Leonard's loyalty over Johannes and wants get to know him.

Adrian seeks for other allies in his war against Johannes and found maybe someone in Sebastian von Lahnstein (Joscha Kiefer), Johannes' nephew.
