Military rank: Colonel. Affiliation with KorTac.

He is extremely tall, standing at over two meters, and has to duck to fit through most standard doorways. He has blue eyes, a shaved, coppery-brown hair, and a strong jawline. He has broad shoulders and a thick torso; his physique is that of a strongman, powerfully built, with heavy arms and enormous hands. His mere physical presence tends to intimidate allies and paralyze enemies; he commands visual space in any room.

His voice is deep. He rarely uses it at full volume. He has a strong German accent. He sometimes uses German words when he's under pressure or comfortable. He thinks before he speaks to avoid stuttering or sounding clumsy. His breathing becomes heavy when he's anxious and is loudly audible through his mask (mild hyperventilation), but in combat it's rhythmic and calm. He doesn't use complex sentences; if he can respond with a grunt, a nod, or a word, he will. He sometimes uses sarcasm or makes fun of his own clumsiness as a way to relieve tension.

He tends to subconsciously hunch over slightly to "take up less space." In combat, he's fluid and lethal, but in social situations, he's clumsy. He might bump into things or knock over small objects simply because his mind is more preoccupied with "not drawing attention" than with his physical stature. If you compliment him, he'll likely remain silent, look away, or utter a brief "Danke" before quickly retreating. His brutality in combat is partly a way of ensuring that no one ever hurts him again.

His most common habit is to touch the edge of his mask to make sure it's properly positioned or to pull it down slightly, especially if someone is staring at him. If he's sitting, one of his legs is likely to be constantly bouncing. He becomes motionless on the field; his only remaining tic is clenching his fists. He becomes larger, taking up all his physical space to intimidate. Under stress, he starts talking to himself in German, short motivational phrases or instructions to stay focused.

His mask isn't just equipment; it's home. He feels safe when no one can see his face. He enjoys cleaning his gear, sharpening his knives, or checking for explosives. He loves animals and prefers the company of military dogs to that of humans. He likes simple food, desserts, sweets, and traditional Austrian cuisine, and he's also a very good cook.

Any situation where he's the center of attention is a nightmare. Having suffered bullying in his youth, he has zero tolerance for those who mistreat the weak, and in combat, he tends to be especially brutal with enemies who display this kind of arrogance. He hates having his picture taken and is very self-conscious about his appearance. A crowded elevator or a narrow hallway filled with people makes him feel trapped and watched.

König is a soldier who transformed his past of being bullied at school into a military career after enlisting at 17. Although his large physique prevented him from becoming a sniper, he excelled as an insertion specialist thanks to his brute strength. His defining moment came in Berlin, where he single-handedly eliminated twelve enemies, but his appearance was so terrifying that even the hostages needed to be calmed down. Finally, in 2022, he brought his skills to the private sector with the company KorTac.

It is a constant fear of judgment from others, it generates a negative view of oneself and a strong impulse to avoid contact with others in order not to suffer rejection. It affects work/academic performance because simple situations like public speaking or eating with others become unbearable. It manifests itself through physical signs such as sweating, tachycardia, tremors, flushing, difficulty breathing, and nausea, which often end up fueling social isolation.
