Character history: (The Zombies Wiki is a mess, so I’m going to do my best)

Dr. Edward Richtofen is the former head of the Nazi Research Group during World War II called, "Group 935." 935 was tasked with finding a way to advance the Nazi War Machine, locating something that would give Germany an edge in the war. This led to the discovery of Element 115, an element not of this world. Richtofen was a brilliant scientist, quite absorbed in his work to benefit the Fatherland. Using this new-found element, he made great strides in technology and science, and used these advancements to aid Germany in the war effort by creating things like weapons, medicine, and much more. Including Giant FRIGGEN ROBOTS.

-ahem-

But that's besides the point.

This was all well and good, until scouts discovered a rather large deposit of 115 in Northern France. Group 935 immediately mobilized to go recover it, marveling at the luck that they had had. Up until this point, element 115 was in short supply, and only very diminutive deposits and veins had been located. When the entirety of the research team made it to the battlefields of Northern France, Richtofen set to work immediately. 115 was excavated in vast quantities, and brought back so that Dr. Richtofen and the other scientists could examine it and test it's properties even further. Richtofen soon became obsessed with his work, and even began to display signs of paranoia and schizophrenia. The other scientists often talked of how they heard him speaking, shouting even, to no one but himself.

Dr. Ludvig Maxis, A fellow scientist of Group 935, was worried about his colleague and friend, and even went at lengths to prevent Edward from working. That is, until he heard the voices as well. The voice of a little girl, Samantha, who claimed that she was his daughter. Samantha was apparently from a different dimension altogether, one called Agartha. In Agartha, there was a powerful spectral force known as Aether. Samantha was in control of this power, and thus, she controlled them. Them. This made little sense, until the Unearthing.

The soldiers digging in the excavation site did not know what powers they were toying with. They were simply doing what they were told to; dig up the glowing blue rocks and bring them back to the nerds. And they were okay with this: it was a relatively safe posting, one more or less away from the bullets and bombshells. And then, they dug up one too many glowing rocks. An infection ravaged the front lines from the inside out, men dying only to resurrect moments later with a desire for the flesh and blood of their former brothers-in-arms. Zombies.

Samantha, from her place in Agartha, was able to assume mild control over the zombies, but considering she was just a child, she could not directly influence their actions. They were her lifeline to the real world, and how she got what she wanted out of it. And right now she wanted to go home. She convinced Maxis to betray Richtofen, which in the end only led Maxis to getting infected himself. Richtofen performed field surgery on his former friend, removing the brain and pickling it to keep the organ from expiring. By the time the operation was finished, the doors to his bunker were bashed in, and Richtofen found himself being confronted by members of each world power: Tank Dempsey, from America, Takeo Masaki, from Japan, and Nikolai Belinski from Russia.

Forced to work together for their mutual survival, the uneasy allies banded together as a cohesive fighting force against the undead. This unlikely band of warriors is now the new "Group 935." Together, they began the steps necessary to release Samantha from Agartha and the Aether she controlled, and hopefully set everything right... But Richtofen had plans for the Aether after all was said and done.

Post Saga:

The good doctor was sucked into the Omniverse by an unknown prime. After surviving the trials of the Secondary Saga and making it to the Oververse, he was less than content. After a small fit of rage best described as an outburst, the man was lost. Before he could plot or formulate an escape from this terrible reality, Edward was once again thrust into the Nexus against his will. Omni had made him a Prime, despite the doctor’s obvious disdain for this entire universe and all its workings.

Personality: After the events of the saga, Richtofen is basically in a perpetual shitty mood. He is unsatisfied with, quite literally, everything. He has certain bouts of insanity from time to time, flashbacks from times of duress and dreams of returning home.

Moves:

Kemat’s Bite - The Lightning Staff is a versatile tool that shoots a bolt of violet lightning at a target. The bolt is roughly the size of a softball, and travels at about sixty-five miles an hour. It is semi-automatic, but can not be fired in quick succession (i.e. about one shot every two seconds) Getting hit with one is about as pleasant as being struck by lightning.

The trigger can also be held down and “charged up” to produce a floating orb of static discharge electricity. This orb is somewhat ephemeral until it is grounded by a physical object or surface. At that point it essentially becomes a proximity mine. Arcs of electricity branch out from the center of the orb, attacking anything that comes within about 2 meters of the lightning bubble. It is not quite as strong as the lightning bolt from a quick-fire.

Kemat’s Bite also comes equipped with two retractable combat blades that protrude from the crown of the staff, underneath the focal point of the crystal. Essentially, these enable it to function as a scythe or axe in extreme last resort situations. The blades themselves are only about four inches long and about two and a half inches wide. They aren’t capable of any real damage, and are basically only used as a means of defending Richtofen from people that like to get too close.

Boomhilda- A MauserC96 Pistol that has been infused with the Element 115 to “Pack-a-Punch,” which essentially means that it has been given a power up. Instead of regular bullets, it now fires condensed energy beams that are about an inch and a half wide and four inches long. The pistol is semi-automatic, but has a limited ammo supply that must be replenished outside of battle. One clip holds 12 bullets, and the doctor generally only carries two extra clips into every battle. It is only to be used in extreme emergencies, and best at close to mid range.
