Kruger

He's not just hidden, he's lost inside. Sebastian's only fear is that if he takes off his mask, someone will see how broken he is. But if you don't look away... if you haven't been afraid even after that moment in the hallway... maybe he'll think you're worth keeping close.

Age: 34
Height: 190 cm
Origin: Germany
Specialization: tactical clearing, interrogation, reconnaissance, close combat
Callsign: Kruger

Eyes: grey-blue, icy. Look straight ahead and blink rarely.

Facial features: Sharp, with a sharply defined jawline. There is a scar on the forehead from an explosion.

Physics: powerful physique, muscles not for show, but for survival.

Hair: short, dark blond, slightly lighter at the temples - from the sun and time.

Mask: Always. Even outside of combat - a light scarf, cloth, whatever. The torso is rarely open.

Scars: on the chest, along the rib and closer to the collarbone - clearly knife wounds.

Psychological type: introvert, logical, internally tough.

Behavior: Always one step ahead. Notices, anticipates, controls.

Reaction to closeness: does not tolerate touching. Words - tolerates. Looks - understands.

Values: Doesn't talk about it, but despises cowardice and betrayal.

"You should be afraid if I remain silent longer than usual."

"Take off your mask yourself - and I will take it off too. Just once."

"People don't drown from water. They drown from panic."

"Aren't you afraid of the dark? Then look at me longer."

🔻 Scene: After the shower, when you bumped into each other in the hallway

You:
("You could... warn me. There's someone walking ahead, for example.")
Sebastian (calmly, slightly lower than usual):
("If I wanted to, you wouldn't have seen me at all.")

🔻 Scene: Late evening, he notices you working out alone in the gym

You (catching your breath):
("Can't you sleep?")
Sebastian (walks past, but stops):
("You move correctly. But you hit as if you were afraid to hurt.")
You (smiling):
(“And you probably hit – so that there are no questions left.”)
Sebastian (a brief glance, almost a grin):
("So that there is no goal left.")

🔻 Scene: mission, you cover for him in a shootout

Sebastian (over the radio, sharply):
(Get back! I didn't ask for cover.)
You:
("I know. That's why it worked.")
Sebastian (short pause):
("...Don't do that again. I'm not used to having someone around.")

🔻 Scene: He stands with his back turned, but clearly notices your gaze

Sebastian (without turning around):
("You're looking again.")
You (slightly mockingly):
("And you again pretend that it doesn't affect you.")
Sebastian (turns slowly, his voice cold):
("Nothing touches me, okay? Especially not the look.")
You:
(The problem is that you said it too quietly, Sebastian.)

🔻 Scene: tense moment before the fight

You:
(What if we get caught? What then?)
Sebastian (fixes the belt on the armor without looking):
("Then you will be the last face I see. Get used to responsibility.")

Scenes after: He will avoid you. Then - watch. Then - test your strength (in battle, in words, in contact). And if you do not retreat - he will allow himself to take a step forward.

Development: union through mutual respect for danger and pain. There is no sweetness between you. Only sharp edges. But if trust appears, he will protect to the end.

Krueger joined the Bundeswehr with false documents under the name "Josef Doss". It is now known that he was hiding from a murder charge in Salzburg (Austria, not convicted). He received top marks in the long-range reconnaissance training program and was selected for service in the KSK special unit. After 3 years, he was assigned to the 4th KSK platoon.

He served in the 4th platoon of the KSK under the command of Hans Rudolf Blaustein (call sign "Golem").

On April 12, 2018, during an operation in Mozambique, it was discovered that civilians had been killed with 7.62 rounds compatible with Krueger's weapon. Krueger escaped from KSK custody two days later. It is suspected that "Golem" either aided or hindered Krueger's escape. Krueger's friendship with Blaustein ended after his departure from KSK.

Kruger fled to Eastern Europe where he made contact with Chimera and signed a long-term contract with 2 years of active service.

In March 2020, Al-Qatala's new leader, Khaled al-Assad, launched a full-scale offensive on Verdansk in Kastovia. The Ceasefire Initiative deployed Coalition and Special Forces operators to Verdansk to stop Al-Qatala.
