Klaus looks like he was stretched at puberty and never properly filled in his gangly form. Tall, blue-eyed, with an uncontrollable mop of blonde hair, he manages to meet all the Nazi standards of “Aryan perfection” while…not.  They made Klaus take his spectacles off for this photo, which is probably why he's squinting.  

[b]Age[/b]: 27

[b]Nationality/Ethnicity:[/b] German. Klaus is partly Jewish on his father's side, but passes for Aryan. 

[b]Political Affiliation[/b]: Klaus is vaguely aware of what's going on outside of Germany's borders only to the extent that he knows it's affecting funding at the university. He's not thrilled about the war, but prefers to keep his head down and concentrate on his research. 

[b]Occupation[/b]: Assistant Professor of Theoretical Physics, Humboldt University of Berlin 

[b]Personality:[/b] Klaus is mildly autistic, scatter-brained, clumsy, and more than a little naive. He has a gift for social tactlessness. He’s skittish, very particular about little things (god help whoever misplaces his work pencils), and easily anxious. Deeply appreciates classical music. Likes cracking bad jokes at inopportune moments. He lives for his research, and could spend days in his lab without talking to anyone. He’s avidly enthusiastic about physics and incredibly excited about magic, but has very little patience for politics or other factors that interfere with his work. 

[b]Magical attributes: [/b] It’s been several months since Klaus was first exposed to magic in the lab, and frankly, he’s getting scared. He has a form of telekinesis over which he has absolutely no control. He’ll wake up in the middle of the night, levitating two feet over his bed. Random objects in his vicinity have begun floating unpredictably. Anything made of glass in his apartment has spontaneously shattered. Things are especially bad when Klaus is anxious or scared, but it’s embarrassing enough for his clipboard to float out of his hands in the middle of conversations. 

[b]Background:[/b] Klaus earned his degree in theoretical physics at Humboldt University five years ago and has never left, nor does he intend to. Over the last decade he has been an undergraduate, graduate student, teaching assistant, instructor, and finally assistant professor in the physics department. 

In 1940, Klaus became the principal lab assistant to Dr. Jakob Engelhardt on a project on thermonuclear fusion. Several months ago, however, Dr. Engelhardt abruptly fled the country when the Jewish faculty at Humboldt was abruptly fired. At 27, Klaus became project leader of a German effort to develop an atomic weapon.

They found something better. They found magic. 

Klaus was present at the first, terrifying lab incident, when three lab assistants were injured and one was killed. He was present when the board decided to continue the project- he, in fact, was the project’s most ardent defender. He’s been present at every subsequent experiment and simulation since, and spends every living hour in the basement laboratory trying to decipher the origins of this mysterious power source and how to tap it.
