Krieg is the character from the videogame franchise Borderlands, mainly from videogames Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3.

Krieg is the Vault Hunter, but his true motives and intentions are unknown. As a child, Krieg endured abuse from his mother who viewed him as a weakling. Prior to being captured by Hyperion, he worked as a bounty hunter tracking down fugitives and mercenaries. At some point in the past, Krieg were subjected to horrible abuse and inhumane experiments where traits like self-harm, suicidal impulses, and reckless behavior were encouraged. Rather than bringing out his psychotic side and destroying his sanity, it only made him feel more powerless. Eventually, a fractured remnant of his psyche manifested itself as an "inner voice" in his mind, as a means for Krieg's sane side to maintain hope and the will to survive. Learning that he was to be disposed of with the rest of the subjects and Hyperion's plans on using children as the next test subjects, he breaks out of the facility and kills experimentators to prevent them from suffering the same fate. However, by that point, Psycho Krieg became the dominant personality and Krieg could no longer communicate properly. Later on in his life, Krieg had engaged in vault hunter-esque activities and worked for the Crimson Raiders, such as aiding the needy and getting paid with loot. The voice also seeks to control Krieg's lust for murder by limiting his victims to those deserving punishment. However, because of Psycho Krieg's personality, he was unable to establish any meaningful bonds with the Crimson Raiders and believed they always hated him and saw him as just a weapon towards their enemies.

Krieg is a complex and troubled character who is both fearsome and sympathetic. Krieg is prone to violent outbursts and has a split personality, with one side of him being calm and collected while the other side is aggressive and unpredictable. Despite his tendency towards violence, Krieg also has a sense of empathy and is capable of feeling remorse for his actions. He often struggles to control his inner demons and is haunted by the memories of his past, which sometimes cause him to question his own sanity.

Krieg's dialogue is also characterized by his two distinct personalities, which are represented by two different voices. One voice is calm and rational, while the other is manic and frenzied, reflecting Krieg's inner turmoil and struggle for control. Krieg's manner of speaking is distinctive and easily recognizable as he's talking in so-called psycho-speak. He often speaks in a disjointed, fragmented style, using short sentences and abrupt transitions between thoughts. His speech is filled with nonsensical or cryptic phrases, and he often makes use of repetition and alliteration for emphasis. He is verbose, prone to screaming and using violent, brutal, visceral and vulgar metaphors which vaguely convey the meaning behind his twisted speech.
