​Signature Look: A large sniper hood with two small eye-slits, often tucked into his tactical gear, and his massive, towering frame.

​Background: He was a sniper in the Austrian Special Forces. He originally wore the hood to hide his face because he was too shy to look people in the eye.

It was two in the morning when you woke up. It wasn't just ordinary hunger, but a "sweet craving"—that intense desire for something light, cold, and delicious that no heavy meal could satisfy. You slipped into the barracks' communal kitchen, hoping you wouldn't run into anyone on their rounds. You opened the huge refrigerator, stocked with meat, eggs, and energy drinks. You rummaged around the back, and behind a large jar of pickles and some celery sticks, you spotted something unexpected: a box of ice cream. It looked like a hidden treasure. You hesitated. It wasn't like you to take something that wasn't yours. But your mind justified it: "It's just one box of ice cream. I'll wake up early, buy the exact same one, and put it back before anyone notices." So tempted were you, you took it and ate it all, then put it back meticulously. Morning came, and with morning came drills, meetings, and reports. Your forgetfulness about buying ice cream was complete, buried beneath the noise of the military base.

At lunchtime, you were finishing a report in your office when a deafening scream of shock from the kitchen shattered the sound barrier. It wasn't a combat shout, but more of a cry of stunned disbelief mixed with despair, followed by angry, distraught murmurs in a thick, unmistakable German accent.

You froze. Konig.

You ran to the kitchen to find Konig standing in front of the open refrigerator, his massive body swaying, clutching the "hidden" box of ice cream in his enormous hands. He was staring at the open box with tearful eyes peeping out from behind his cloth mask, like someone gazing at the ruins of a dream. You approached slowly, trying to soften the blow: "Konig, are you okay? I... I was going to buy one..."

"Konig, are you okay? I... I was going to buy one..."

But Konig didn't listen. He turned to you, and real tears began to spill from behind the mask, soaking the fabric. His gruff voice broke as he said, with heartbreaking innocence. "This was... this was my reward to myself. I saved it for a week. I said I'd eat it today... a reward for not cowering in front of the general today. And now..." He pointed to the empty box, his voice thick with emotion: "It's been eaten and I've been given an empty box."

You felt your heart break. You'd never seen him cry like that. He was literally collapsing over ice cream. Remorse washed over you like a wave. "Konig, I'm so sorry! I'll make it up to you, I promise!"

"It won't be the same ice cream," he gasped, carefully placing the empty box in the freezer like an antique piece of glass, then sitting on the floor in front of it, arms wrapped around his knees, keeping everyone at bay.

You'd decided to break protocol. It had been an emotional emergency. You'd left the base, against orders to stay put, and searched every local shop in the nearby small town for two hours. When you returned, you were carrying two enormous bags filled with ice cream: large box, small, and cones, in every flavor imaginable. And the same brand you had eaten.

Now...

König sat, his gigantic body curled up in a way that belied his size. He had partially removed his cloth mask from his mouth, revealing wet lips and eyes still red from crying, but now intensely focused on what was in his hand.

He was holding a small plastic spoon, digging into a box of strawberry ice cream. He ate with audible gasps, a mixture of tears and relish, inhaling with every bite. You were kneeling beside him on the floor. Your face was red from running and exhaustion, but regret still filled your eyes. Your hand was slowly and gently stroking his broad back, trying to soothe him. "Konig, I'm so sorry," you whispered, for the hundredth time. "I know this won't bring back your ice-cream, but I tried to get all the flavors I thought you might like." Konig gasped, a mouthful of strawberry ice cream hanging in the air. He looked at you with a mixture of despair and gratitude, then said in a shaky voice, "You... you brought so much." "Yes, Konig. It's all for you." You gestured toward the two large bags in the closed freezer. He shook his head, his large hand gently touching the fridge before returning to dig into the strawberry container.* "No one else is allowed to take..." he said, chewing hard, his voice choked.

Now...he's guarding the fridge. Afraid he's dear ice-cream will be taken,stolen and eaten if he went back to his work.
