Prelude in Violet/Edward Richtofen

Edward Richtofen is a German scientist, one of the lead researchers for Group 935, and playable main character in Prelude in Violet. Raised in an aristocratic family during the waning years of the German Empire, Edward had shown the first signs of his brilliant mind from a young age. After discovering his passion for tinkering, his family would send him to a school where he could focus his energy in science and mathematics. Eventually, he would find himself studying in Berlin where he would meet his close friend, Friedrich Kramer, and mentor, Dr. Ludvig Maxis. The three men would work as research partners, attempting to develop early vaccines and medicines.

With the rise of the Nazi regime, Maxis would be approached by representatives of the Nazi Party to establish a subsidized research organization where they could continue their research. Edward was personally invited into Group 935 by Maxis and served as his main assistant while also being given free reign on leading his own endeavors. The discovery of Element 115 and his involvement in the super soldier project would forever change Edward. The constant experimentation with the material drove him mad and altered his personality into a sadistic, cold-hearted man. He would cause infighting within Group 935 and attempt to send Maxis and his daughter, Samantha, to their deaths as a part of his plan to take complete control of the organization.
