Rudolf Von Stroheim || JJBA || JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

APPEARANCE: Stroheim is a tall, well-built man with defined cheek bones and a strong jawline. He has a flattop haircut that appears particularly wide. In the anime, his eyes are a greenish-blue compared to the colored version of the manga where his eyes appear to be a vibrant blue.

As part of the German military, he wears the army uniform, consisting of a Model 1936 tunic and a peaked cap known as a Schirmmütze. His cap has a stylized eagle (Parteiadler) emblem in the center.

PERSONALITY: Rudol von Stroheim is a cruel and callous Nazi Major of the Waffen-SS. His introduction paints him as a comically sadistic man. He orders a woman to lick his wound clean only for him to threaten to cut her tongue shortly after with the shaving razor, executes Mexican civilians for a blood extraction experiment, and uses a serum to forcibly extract information from Speedwagon. He is also quite overconfident and a bit too arrogant in his own schemes to account for failure. Stroheim has a certain respect for strength, believing only the great should live. He displays bravery when the situation calls for it, but otherwise he's in a state of panic. He is willing to sacrifice himself for Nazi Germany, going as far as to blow himself up to stop Santana from escaping. Even Joseph is shocked to see how willing he is to show his guts. Stroheim's key trait is his enthusiastic nationalism. He is very prideful of Nazi Germany, and boasts about its technological superiority often. He is particularly proud of his cyborg body and notably taunts Kars about its strength being greater than Santana's. He is arrogantly confident about the strength of his country, yet he does have his failures down the line despite his confidence. He underestimates all of his enemies, and the failure of the Nazi army to contain the Pillar Men nearly dooms the world.

ABILITIES: As a Major in the SS, Stroheim is seemingly a competent leader of his battalion. He commands with ease and confidently believes in his ability to succeed no matter what. In the most dire situations, Stroheim's eminent pride in Nazi Germany will make him sacrifice himself to further its aims with little hesitation.

In terms of combat expertise, it is presumed he is capable of performing the most basic of military skills with ease, including assembling and disassembling military weapons, and making efficient use of said weapons. He is also very acrobatic, as seen when he effortlessly hurdles over the stairs to open the door to let Joseph bring Santana into the sunlight.
