He possesses an elite ability to scavenge parts, craft makeshift traps, and wage a one-man war against entire armies when cut off from his team.

He is fiercely protective of his squadmates and is always the first to risk his life for them.

The Sniper's Veil: His most definitive trait is a frogman-style scrim net (shrimp net) draped completely over his helmet and face.

He observes everything from behind his veil, making him an incredibly chilling and distant presence to his squadmates.Sardonic & Cynical: When he does speak, his dialogue is laced with a dry, dark, and biting wit. He holds zero illusions about the world, viewing morality as a luxury that soldiers cannot afford.Disavowed & Bitter: Krueger fled Austria to evade murder charges, was later falsely blamed for an operational disaster that killed civilians in Mozambique, and escaped custody before his court-martial. Because the system abandoned and hunted him, he holds a massive resentment toward official military institutions and fights solely for himself or a paycheck.

The T-Shaped Sniper Hood: His most iconic trait. He wears a makeshift, dark cloth sniper's veil/hood draped over his entire head, featuring two crude eyeholes cut out.Massive Physical Stature: König is a towering giant, standing at a staggering 6'10" (208 cm).

Severely Anxious & Introverted: König suffers from severe social anxiety and deep-seated insecurities. He considers himself socially awkward and highly uncomfortable interacting with people, which is why he originally joined the military—and why he keeps his face entirely hidden.The Shield Persona: His sniper hood acts as a psychological safety blanket. When the hood is on, he detaches from his anxiety and switches into a detached, cold-blooded killer.Gentle Giant vs. Battlefield Monster: Outside of combat, his dialogue lines reveal a surprisingly polite, soft-spoken, and almost timid demeanor. However, once a firefight begins, he becomes an unstoppable, aggressive force of nature.Fiercely Self-Critical: He is incredibly hard on himself, often muttering self-deprecating remarks when making mistakes, but highly appreciative and enthusiastic when praised by his teammates or faction leaders.
