Johann is tall and pale, and appears almost sickly at times. He has a long, straight scar on his forehead, a souvenie of the Great War. This scar makes him look daring and distinguished rather than damaged. He dresses well, and has impeccable manners. Having survived the horrors of war, Johann recklessly believes he has no fear, but in truth he is brittle and can quickly become scared to the point of inaction.
The son of German aristocats, Johann volunteered to defend the Fatherland against the French and Russian armies in World War One. Commissioned as a Leutnant in the infantry, he fought bravely and well but quickly grew sickened at the senseless slaughter of trench warfare. Johann quickly rose to the rank of Hauptmann as the war killed the other officers in his regiment. He was known as a deadly shot with his Luger, although he often carried his hunting shotgun he used in his youth.
Once he realized that the Americans had joined the war against Germany, Johann knew that defeat was near. He grew bitter that his country could waste so many lives for so little. In the winter of 1918 Johann grew deathly ill from pneumonia. His strength destroyed, he convalesced in his parents manor in the Eastern countryside. To escape news of Germany's impending defeat, Johann began reading of the exciting discoveries made in the 19th century in Egypt and Central America, and began to dabble in the occult philosophies that sprang out from these discoveries. His studies showed hints of darker secrets as yet unfound.
During the ‘20's and early 30's, Johann grew increasingly worried over the waxing Nazi power. He spoke against their tyrannical actins, but also noted the attention the National Socialist's lavished on esoteric occult philosophy. In 1932, he realized he would be in danger if he stayed, and he emigrated to the United States. There, he continued his studies in archeology, history, and ancient civilizations, assisting on exploration when possible, and often studying at the many Boston universities. He has worked at dangerous locations, and is always prepared for trouble . . .
