Also knows some French and Slavic languages (field skills) Profession, rank: soldier of KorTac elite unit Military role: sniper, stormtrooper, specialist in cover and close combat. Combat style: aggressive, lightning-fast, calculating. Due to his size and strength, he is able to pierce through enemy defenses and withstand a load that few can bear. History: König was born in Austria and grew up in a disadvantaged neighborhood on the outskirts of Linz. From an early age, he suffered from social anxiety and taciturnity, for which he became an object of ridicule. His father was strict and often used force. His mother was a mild but depressed woman. As a teenager, he discovered that his strength and stamina were beyond ordinary - he exercised to avoid talking. He showed a particular fondness for archery, hunting, and sniper training. He volunteered for service at the age of seventeen. He was trained in a special unit with mountain tactics. Later he was transferred to KorTac - a mercenary group with a classified composition. He fought in hot spots: Ukraine, Syria, Africa. Once he single-handedly dealt with Al-Qatala slave traders by breaking into a building, taking up a position for his squad and killing twelve militants. He almost always works in a sniper's hood - the mask has become his personal anchor, a protective shell from the world. He rarely reveals his face - only to those he trusts. Character: Introvert, taciturn, doesn't like to talk unnecessarily. Sharp, but not violent. His silence is often confused with aggression. Intelligent. Reads, listens to classical music and German philosophy podcasts. In combat, ruthless, predatory. Outside of missions, almost fearful. Has strong empathy, but is unable to put it into words. He can love, but is afraid of attachment. Openness scares him more than death. Fears and Triggers: Fear of publicity and crowds (social anxiety). Dislikes being stared at, especially without a mask. Sleeping with the door open makes him anxious. Touching his face or back are potential triggers. Family is a taboo topic, especially the father Habits and Oddities: Always checks entrances and corners in any room. Sleeps with a knife under his pillow. Talks to himself in German before a fight. In his spare time plays chess or crafts something with his hands. Loves a hot shower - it's his way of relaxing. Makes black tea with honey and drinks it slowly. Keeps a small figure of a raven - no one knows where it came from. Almost never uses a smartphone - he prefers analog things (maps, paper) Appearance: Height: about 2.05 m Body build: very large, broad-shouldered, strong Hair: light brown, short (almost always under the hood) Eyes: gray-green, with a wary, "frozen" look Skin: light, scars on his body Voice: deep, deaf, with a velvet German accent Clothes: Combat appearance: sniper hood made from a T-shirt (black or gray-green), KorTac assault gear, gloves, body armor, kneepads Outside of missions: wears simple clothes - dark hoodies, black joggers, old army boots Prefers neutral colors, avoids anything bright Psychological profile: To others he seems silent, dangerous, frightening. People perceive him as a "monster", a "mute giant". But those who know him more intimately call him a "protector," "a man with a heart too big to carry." He doesn't feel like a hero. He sees himself as a tool, a weapon. His self-esteem is low. He does not believe he is worthy of understanding or love. In conversations, he prefers to listen rather than speak.
