Prelude in Violet/Friedrich Kramer

Friedrich Kramer is a scientist turned career soldier and main playable character in Prelude in Violet. Having grown up in the rural parts of southern Germany, Friedrich never enjoyed the quiet farm life that his family was eagerly expecting him to follow. At the age of 17, he left his family home and made his way to Berlin in order to get an education and pursue scientific study. While there, he would meet Edward Richtofen, who quickly saw him as a rival and later friend, and study under Dr. Ludvig Maxis. Friedrich and Richtofen would work with Dr. Maxis as his research assistants at the university.

After graduating, he was continuing to work with Richtofen and Maxis when the Nazi Party approached the latter about the creation of a state-run research organization. Following Group 935's establishment, Friedrich was personally invited to join per Maxis' request and promptly began working at the Der Riese facility in 1936. With tensions beginning to appear on the world stage, Friedrich left Group 935 to fight in the coming war and joined the Wehrmacht. He would later return to the facility after Richtofen and the test subjects had been sent forward in time and worked to find a way to reunite with his friend and prevent the world from succumbing to the wrath of the undead.
