Konig

König (König)

Full operational name: nobody knows. The call sign is translated from German as "King".

· Age: The exact age is unknown (most likely classified). He looks like a man in his prime, approximately 30 to 40 years old.

· Hair colour: Unknown. He never takes off his assault veil mask ("Tarnung" sniper hood). Hair can be blonde or dark, but no one can see it. He often wears a tactical helmet over his hood.

· What it looks like / Appearance: Frightening tower of flesh and equipment. His face is always hidden behind a black or dirty gray fabric of the mask, leaving only his eyes visible (which, according to some hints, are light/blue, but with a heavy, not blinking look). He gives the impression of a creature who has forgotten what his own face looks like. The physique is massive, but at the same time frighteningly agile for such dimensions.

· Height: 208 cm (6 feet 10 inches). This is his main physical feature. Because of his gigantism, he suffers from a mild form of social phobia - as a child he was laughed at, and now he is physically uncomfortable to be in the open without a mask.

· Character: Quiet introvert with severe social anxiety disorder outside the battlefield. In everyday life, he is awkward, shy and prefers to be silent so as not to scare anyone with his low voice. However, dissociation occurs in battle: his anxiety melts into icy, ruthless aggression and hyperactive combat effectiveness. He is a cold-blooded operative who drives the enemy like game, feeling "at ease" just by looking at the optical sight.

Brief reference in essence: Koenig is an assault operator/sniper, who was appointed by the Austrian special forces (Jagdkommando) to play the role of an "executer" that penetrates the enemy's most fortified points. Later he was recruited in the PMC "Kruger Corps". He is a silent giant who hates himself for his cumbersomeness in peaceful life, but loves the horror that his size instills in the hearts of the goals on the mission.

König is translated from German as "king".

König was originally represented by an Austrian and a member of the Jagdkommando, but his biography indicated German citizenship and the KSK division of the Bundeswehr. With the release of the season 01 update, citizenship to Austria was corrected, and with the release of the season 02 update, all references to KSK were removed.

Most likely, the developers planned to make Koenig a reference to the famous German sniper Major Erwin Koenig, but then refused to do so.

In open beta testing, Koenig was a member of the Special State University.

In the files of the game, Koenig is called "kilgore".

One of the cut performers in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare had a similar name.

Koenig's standard appearance was called "Kilgor" until the release of the season 03 update.

The appearance of Koenig "Biological Danger" is based on the appearance of a chemist, but in a different colour palette. You can get it for taking out the armoury box that falls from this boss.

The name and faction of the discovery of the image "Anonymous" is a reference to the group of hacker activists "Anonymus", whose motto reads "We are Anonymous. We are a legion."

When killing with a sniper rifle at a long distance, Koenig can say "And they said I couldn't be a sniper", which refers to the fact that he was not taken into the position of scout sniper.

When examining Koenig's mask in detail, you can see that it is made of a T-shirt.

In the appearance of "Lord of the Depths" you can see the logo of Zakhaev's army.

throughout his life, often being bullied during his childhood. At the age of 17, he volunteered for the military.

While he hoped to join as a recon sniper, his physical size and his inability to stay still made him an unsuitable candidate. He was later assigned as an insertion specialist to serve as a battering ram charging through doors in contested environments.

During a mission, König took down an Al-Qatala cell in Berlin which was involved in human-trafficking. He breached the townhouse and eliminated all twelve AQ fighters inside. However, his sniper hood terrified the Urzik hostages who had to be convinced by the rest of his team to follow König to safety.

By 2022, König became a contractor for the KorTac private military company.
