Edward Richtofen (Gruntijackal)

"Be quiet my children, while I snuff out your light."

- Richtofen in Abenddämmerung

Doctor Edward Richtofen (Born December 11th 1911), is a sociopathic, sadistic Doctor who hails from Germany. He is most promiment for helping in the creation of the Zombies and numerous Wonder Weapons.

Early Life
Richtofen was conceived in a labratory in early 1911. According to doctors when Edward was born, he had mental issues at birth. This became apparent at a very early age when Richtofen would perform experiments on the neighbours pets. After a while, his Mother told him not to harm animals anymore; which Richtofen suceeded in doing by sheer will. When he turned 14, he began to imagine killing everything in the pursuit of world domination. It wasn't long after this began that his parents caught on, which lead to his mother wailing and becoming depressed as her son descended into a lifestyle of sadist. Doctor's provided pills to sedate Edward's mental issues. Back in 1925, however, the pills were poorly produced and had side effects. The pills, while temporarily preventing Richtofen from thinking sociopathic thoughts, it made his brain work at 13% of the normal capacity, causing Richtofen to conduct plans of world domination once again through other means. When he was 23, he managed to contact Ludvig Maxis and the two talked about creating deadly weapons for the German cause. A mere two years later, Maxis formed Group 935.

Richtofen revealed in 2013 that he first thought of his master world domination plan when he turned 16, to utilize numerous powerful artifacts across the planet to power the weapon he had been designing. His plans, however, were halted when his parents forced him to join the army in 1936.

Richtofen immediatly established himself as a medic, allowing him to learn biology more in-depth. His surgery was ridiculed, people saying that he 'butchered' his patients. In a matter of months, he was given the nickname 'The Butcher' and was moved to POW camps to help 'interrogate' the prisoners. Richtofen's bloodlust was only prevented by his pills, yet he still yearned to rip a French person to shreds. While killing prisoners could be considered a dream come true, Richtofen still planned to escape the military and join Maxis like he needed to. On April 3rd 1942, his plan could come to fruition. When left alone with a prisoner to interrogate it on British plans, he almost immediatley noticed that they had similair bodies. The British soldier was slightly fatter than Richtofen, so Richtofen had to knock him unconsciouse and begin operating. Richtofen carefully chipped away at the fat, while covering up the marks with other skin. He also had to slightly disfigure the face to make it appear more like Richtofen's. While it took six hours to finish, Richtofen himself believed he had made the knocked out soldier before him look similair to Richtofen. Richtofen hastily wrote a fake suicide note, replaced the soldier's clothes with a lab coat and black pants and hung the Soldier in Edward's room. Shortly after this, he dug underneath the gate of the POW camp and escaped.

He spent three weeks walking back to civilasation. Throughout the rest of his life, Richtofen kept it a secret as to how he got to Doctor Maxis and joined Group 935.
