Background: No one on the Phoenix Project knows the true identity of Harold, save the Dark Monk. He managed to join the Phoenix Project by tracking them through the Umbra and proving his knowledge of the Awakened on Gaia. While Hans was distrustful of the young mage, Harold possessed two features which caused Hans to allow Harold to join. First Harold was a blond haired, blue eyed devotee to Nazism and secondly, Hans realized over a few weeks' time that the Dark Monk would subtly act against Harold. Hans believed this was due to the fear the Nephandus felt towards the young Master of Spirit. Unknown to all, Harold is actually spying on the others in the Labyrinth and very secretly assisting the Dark Monk in its true plans.
Image: About 5' 8", Hans weighs a measly 138 lbs. He has blond hair, blue eyes and a very fair complexion. He looks to be about 30 years old and frequently dresses as if he is about to go on an outdoors expedition or a hunting trip (which he usually is). It should be noted that Harold is not naturally blond, or blue eyed or even Caucasian. The Dark Monk, using its magick, managed to change Harold's ethnicity and altered his life pattern so that the change was undetectable.
Roleplaying Notes: A new reich will never happen, but you must convince the others that it is your goal in life. You secretly despise the Nazis, and everything that they stand for, but your mentor desires you to play this foolish game. So, you transfer your zeal to serve your mentor to serving Hans and his dupes, while knowing who really pulls the strings. Just go along and obey them, but not for much longer.

Background: Anna is the daughter of Hans Goeffels. She was one of a handful of children specially bred as part of Hitler's plan to create a master race. It was this misguided attempt at genetics that caused Anna to be fascinated with genetic manipulation and learn from the Progenitors of the Phoenix Project. Anna is a complete follower of Nazism, and is just as devoted to her father. Anna current experiments with fresh human embryos requires her to extract them from their "developing center". This process inevitably ends in the destruction of said center. The fact that Anna has tried to find a less harmful method to get the embryos from their mothers has caused many to suspect that Anna is growing weak. Anna says it is a matter of waste to kill the mothers, and with Hans' support no one has challenged her yet.
Image: Anna is the perfect image of a Nazi woman, combined with the frame of a gold medal athlete. She has genetically altered herself to look fit and healthy, while adding extremely beautiful looks. The end result being that her body is capable of doing more than its structure would suggest. She looks 21, despite being born in 1947, and tends to dress in lab coats and pants.
Roleplaying Notes: Hans is paving the way for you and you must prove yourself worthy. Remember two things: Nazis are the dominant race, and women are the dominant sex. Always prepare for the day when you and your father (the only man worth anything) will rule the world together. You must also try to keep your sympathy towards those you use, and your true feelings for Hans a secret. If either were revealed you would be ashamed to stay in the project.

Background: Hans Goeffels was the second son of a small Aryan peasant family born in 1899. It was when Hans watched as his brother was cut in half by a barrage of bullets during a raid on an enemy trench that Hans' Avatar awoke. Hans, assigned as machine gun operator due to his knowledge of mechanics and targeting skill, had been working on a way to improve the kinetic velocity of his bullets so that they would go through dense matter and retain their lethal force. With his Awakened Avatar Hans fired off the first shot of his new design. The bullets ripped through the ground and padded walls of the French trenches, killing scores of men. The next wave of Germans decimated those who remained, and still Hans felt no relief.
With the loss of World War I and the humiliation of Germany, Hans felt only anger and rage. Seeking somewhere to focus this blind hatred, Hans focused on weapons development. He would make sure that Germany would never lose another war. Hans became interested in Hitler, who also held similar views and gave Hans a scapegoat to blame for his brother's death. Hans gained the attention of the Germans and raised in their ranks as a weapons designer. The concentration camps turned him against Hitler, not due to their inhumanity, as much as their "waste". Hans believed that living slaves were much more useful than rotting corpses.
It was also at that this time, early in 1943, that Hans began to believe that he, and not Hitler, should be the founder of the thousand year reich — or even an eternal reich! This belief lead to a failed assassination attempt against Hitler a few months later. Hans kept working on V-2 rockets, atom bombs and even space vehicle designs until he met the Dark Monk and changed the path his life would take.
Image: Hans is a tall (6' 5"), handsome man with a very powerful presence, made more so due to his age (seemingly 63 years). Hans has a thick head of silver-gray hair and keeps a clean-shaven face. He typically dresses in loose-fitting shirts and slacks.
Roleplaying Notes: You have seen too many things. Too many inept leaders ruling their inept peoples. It is your responsibility to rule them with an iron hand. The soft touch they currently receive is preparing them for their downfall. You must save them, and many will try to stop you. Many will suffer under your reign, but those who resist are not the "ubermen", and what happens to them is of no concern.
