The only canonical hard information on this Heterodyne ancestor of Agatha's comes from the description given by Maxim during his fight with Ol' Man Death. Apparently, Prince Vadim Sturmvoraus bet the "Goot" ("Good") Heterodyne that a cathedral could never be built in Mechanicsburg. This resulted in the construction of the Red Cathedral, and Vadim having to eat his hat. The print novel Agatha H. and the Voice of the Castle gives Goot's name as Dante, and says that he was called The Good Heterodyne not from nobility of spirit, but because he was very good at being a Heterodyne.
