Name/Nickname/Titles:Gabriel Johann Schultheiß
Gender:Male
Age:Legal age - 26
Real age - 23
Personality:Calm and collected, Gabriel speaks with a formal tone and hardly ever loses his cool over something. He is a very goal oriented and focused person and extremely competitive and ambitious, and as his training dictates, has been trained to keep calm in most situations. The somewhat slender man prefers talk and civility over fighting, and prefers to talk things out instead of immediately charging in head first. That said, he is no stranger to violence. The SS trains well, and beats out any form of weakness one might have during training for the position.
Despite his amicability and openness, the harsh training the SS undergo have had somewhat of an effect on him. He absolutely hates insubordination and orders are to be followed without question, to the letter. At least, in theory. He is loathe to break any sort of rules, but he does understand that sometimes plans need to chance depending on the situation presented with them. Even so - he has been sent by the SS to oversee this operation, and
will see it succeed and will suffer no insubordination. Insubordination and opponents will be met with ruthless brutality.
His feelings towards Germany and the current political climate is somewhat mixed, truthfully. He himself, questions the direction the country is in, but after seeing the absolutely deplorable conditions the Germans were forced to live in - and that he himself grew up in - after World War 1, he is hesitant to call it a bad thing.
Appearance:With bright, blond hair and blue eyes, Gabriel is almost a perfect example of what the current ruling party in Germany wants in a soldier. Standing at just five foot seven, Gabriel's only slightly detracting factor is his somewhat slight build and eternally seeming youthful appearance that doesn't seem to boast much musculature. Even so though he quickly distinguished himself among both the SS.
He is particularly fond of a white and gold military suit, as it is a designation of his special status as a Magus of the SS as well as the technical commander of the current operation. It has the usual Insignia of the SS-TV on his collar. In all, his appearance is not exactly what one would expect of the ruthlessness of someone who works in the Death Camps.
Biography:Born in 1916 in the middle of the Great War, Gabriel lost his parents towards the end of the war. As a result, he never knew his parents that well, just vague memories and recollections. However, luckily for him he was taken in by his grandparents that lived in Munich, where he quickly learned that he was what was known in a certain underground world as a 'Magus'. Still, his family was nowhere near a very notable family - compared to certain larger groups and more secretive societies, his family was compared to children playing with magic cards.
Still his Grandparents taught and so he learned Magecraft. Even so, it never played a particular large part in his life to start with. His grandparents were insistent that such craft not be the focus of his life, as it would certainly only lead to troublesome things. So he spent his time learning more mundane topics. History, maths, sciences, etc. Other things. Still, his life was far from easy post great war. After the war, Germans were forced to live in harsh conditions and as such, thoughts of revenge and a desire to help German people with Magecraft grew. So against his grandparents wishes, he decided to learn Magecraft. He quickly became fascinated with it, taking to it like a moth to a flame and despite his own discovery that his aptitude for it wasn't the best, he cared not. He carried on like this for most of his teenage and youthful years.
It was around 1933 when Hitler and the NSDAP came to complete power in Germany. Gabriel was 17 at the time, and was quickly swept up by the appeals that the party could help Germany. A year later when the 'Junker Schools' were founded to train SS officers, he leapt at the chance to join. Of course, not anyone could just be taken in as a candidate. Sure, he fit the profile of the 'Ideal German Citizien' but that wasn't enough. He had little to no combat training. Against his grandparents wishes, he stole the family jewels, so to speak, altering his appearance so none would be able to identify him.
Of course, that's where Magecraft came into play. he managed to at first, insert himself into one of the Reichswehr as part of the Chancellors secret plans for military expansion. He forged some papers as well as his age, stating how long he had been a part of it. Stating he was a fresh recruit from before then and three years older than he actually was as well as altering the memory of those he had too. He received his his first military training from here where he quickly distinguished himself from his peers with excellence in training as well as determined and goal focused attitude.
It was in 1934 when the first Junker Schools founded - A Leadership school specifically designed to train SS officers. He leapt at the chance to become one of them. The training by far, was not what most would willingly go through. The schools were designed to teach the officer cadet to be adaptable, able to handle any order given to them as well as instill a sense of racial superiority and nationalist ideologies. Of course, Gabriel was no exception and underwent just as harsh conditions as everyone else. Still, after nineteen months of the harsh training, in 1935 he was a fully fledged member of the SS - one of their more prominent members to boot.
It was then, he was recruited into the SS-TV - that is, the special regiments designed to specifically oversee and work in the the concentration camps. So he went to Dachau in order to have further training as well as a role in this absolutely horrid state of affairs. Just following orders, is all. Even so, he still questions the harsh conditions on the people there, but he never voiced such concerns. That would be treason, and he'd already gotten himself this far into it, it would be difficult to back out now.
Eventually, he completed the special type of SS-TV training required of those working in the Death Camps. For a few years, while he never oversaw a Camp himself he was a well respected member among those in Buchenwald where he was transferred later.
However, when word and talk of the Holy Grail surfaced, he was chosen among all the others to oversee the operation as it was well known within the higher up of the SS that he was at least into more...occult things, and as such had a fairly large influence within the regime. Loyal, likely not to break protocol or betray the Chancellor - he was the perfect candidate.
So he performed the summoning ritual, and headed off to Japan.
Origin: 'Order'
Elemental Affinity: Fire and Wind
Number of Magic Circuits: C
Quality of Magic Circuits:C
Od:B
Magecraft:Unfortunately, Gabriel is no great mage no matter what the NSDAP or the Thule society wants. Aside from his Od, his Magic Circuits and the quality of them, just isn't top of the line. Not that many know this - its a well kept secret he plays close to his vest.
His most notable use of this, is use Fire and Wind related magecraft, to make small electrical currents to have a stun effect on people. Perhaps with a bit of practice he could do more with it, but there is a limit to what he's capable of with his magic circuits.
He is somewhat versed in Memory manipulation. While not extremely strong, against normal people it helped him get ahead in his own life since he is effectively able to erase his presence from peoples memories as well as give himself an alibi in the form of inserting himself into one, should he have need of it. It is how he got into the SS training classes at a Junker School as a student, initially.
Knows some rudimentary healing Magecraft, though it's nothing special and isn't going to be healing anyone from any major injury.
Equipment:Mystic Code: Emerald Pendant (Rank C)
A simple emerald pendant, one of the sole heirlooms of his family. In essence, it is a simple item which allows one to temporarily alter their appearance to whatever they desire for a predetermined duration of time at the cost of some energy. It will wear off after awhile, but as long as the Magus is aware of the time and how much energy they put into it it shouldn't be much of a problem. Other Magus will be able to tell at least, there is a spell being cast though they may not know the exact nature of it. He passes it off as a 'simple protection spell'
Mystic Code: Amplifier (Rank B)
A simple blade given to him to help amplify his magic, though the effectiveness is somewhat questionable. It is made of a super-conductive metal to help conduct electrical currents to aid with his particular affinities.
Walther PP pistol. Simple, effective, standard issue firearm.
Skills:Gabriel has training in close quarters combat, how to use a number of different firearms as well as was trained in how to use a sword.
Is also fairly good at cooking. Surprisingly, likes to spend his free time doing that.
