Name: Konrad Heinz Age: 34 Ethnicity: Caucasian-German Origin: Hammerhausen, Germany Occupation: Law enforcement Nicknames: None Affilation: GSG 9 Portrayed By: Michael Fassbender Theme: Nothing In My Way by Keane

Personality
Konrad is something of an enigma to those around him, referred to by some as a firmly closed book, the covers of which hide the man he truly is. First and foremost, Konrad has the innate ability to keep himself calm in any given situation that calls for it. His level headedness when facing an overbearing situation (for example, facing a small horde of infected in a tight space) gives Konrad an instant advantage in the dangerous new world, able to keep his mind on finding a way out, or devising tactics to overcome the problem. This trait also extends to his interaction with other people, able to stay calm and in control of his emotions when dealing with an aggressive person, or dealing with somebody who refuses to listen to reason.

Konrad is a very intelligent man, and this intelligence goes hand in hand with his ability to stay calm. Receiving consistently good grades through schools, Konrad is smart in both the academic sense, and in an overall sense, never acting on something without first giving it a few seconds, minutes, hours or days to think it over, before formulating a game plan and executing that plan with a calculated efficiency. If there is something to be learned, and Konrad deems it worth his time, he has a knack for catching onto a concept quickly, before practising and refining the new skill until it becomes useful to him. This makes Konrad adaptive to new situations, and has caused some people to jokingly speculate that he is actually a machine under the skin, akin to the 'Terminator'.

Konrad is also very down to Earth, he knows his skills, and he knows what he can do. Konrad will rarely, if ever, take a risk that could get him, or somebody he knows killed, and will strongly advise somebody who is planning something risky to rethink their actions and think rationally.

On the other hand, Konrad can be, and often is a very harsh man, and could sometimes be labelled as downright mean. While not totally incapable of giving praise, Konrad will never give it if it is not needed, and efforts to impress him, or even telling a joke to him, will usually end in a frown before causing him to walk away. If somebody does manage to befriend him in such a way that he feels comfortable around them (A hard thing indeed), then Konrad tends to open up a little more, revealing snippets of himself and his past, before eventually becoming angry, usually with himself for revealing those things. In the end, he will usually apologise for his anger, but will take a while to return to his somewhat civilised self.

Konrad has an extremely tight lock on his personal emotions, rarely telling people about himself and becoming violently angry when people try to push him for the information. This can cause rifts between him and other people, causing them to distrust him, and make their own, usually sinister assumptions about him.

He is also quite stubborn, rarely budging from an idea or plan that he formulated. This also extends to helping those in need, his law enforcement background giving him a sense of duty to help those who need it. This sense of duty clashes harshly with his perceived personality, causing him to shift his plans, and even sometimes act irrationally if he believes it is worth the risk

Backstory
Born in Hammerhausen, Germany to a relatively wealthy German family, Konrad was always quite a privileged child, his parents wishing to provide him with the tools to become whatever he wanted to be when he grew up. This meant Konrad was sent to Hammerhausen's best schools as a child, and received the best possible education for his naturally keen mind. Although his parents wished for him to go to university, Konrad was always fascinated by the duties of the police, and although it upset his family that he would opt to go for a comparatively low paying job, Konrad always made it known that it was what he wanted to do.

Joining the local police academy as soon as he turned of age, Konrad showed great dedication and a drive to be the best he could be during his training, allowing him to graduate with honours and become a fully fledged police officer. After 8 years of service, the opportunity presented itself to join the GSG 9, the German police's counter terrorism special forces unit, formed after the tragedy at the Munich Olympic games. Naturally, as Konrad strived to be the best he could be, he applied to join instantly.

In the time between applying for the GSG 9 and beginning his training, Konrad met his future wife, Emma, who was a newly hired front desk clerk at his local police station, the two hit it off instantly and Emma supported Klaus throughout the harsh training he was forced to endure for the GSG 9. It was only a few years before they decided to get married, and Konrad couldn't be happier at how his life had turned out.

With his wife eventually pregnant with their first child, Konrad was selected to participate in a special program in the United States, working alongside US Swat teams, in a multi nation training program... He was only meant to be gone for a few weeks.

Konrad is now stuck in the US, with no way to contact his wife, and no way to return to his home country. Not knowing what has happened to his family had driven Konrad into a deep depression, which he holds deep inside of him.
