Albrecht von Zögling is the Axis’ custodian of the Totenkorps programme, and a long-term member of the Grünes Gewölbe. His obsession with the dead led to years spent studying the texts of the Green Vault’s library, and visiting sites of battle or massacre whenever he could, where he would collect corpses to experiment on, earning him the whispered moniker of ‘Der Erntemann’ or ‘The Harvestman’.
On 12 March 1944, the bomb was dropped on Dresden, and von Zögling’s dreams were fully realised. Approximately half a million dead now wandered its ruins, and a seemingly perpetual source of Rift Energy was now available to him.
The secrets of the Rift have provided von Zögling with the means of reanimating the dead on a scale even undreamt of by him, and he soon developed the serum that would supplant the crude power packs initially used to reanimate the recently deceased, one that could be injected directly into a corpse and have it walking again in mere seconds.
Unlike many of his understudies, von Zögling is not content to sit back and observe the fruits of his labour from a distance, and makes it a habit to stalk battlefields in search of prime material for further experimentation. Ever concerned with the effects of wounds upon the human anatomy, he has become quite adept at inflicting them himself, having trained himself over the years to become a proficient marksman, and equally skilled with a blade, and whenever the opportunity presents itself, he will personally lead his personal Totenrotte to witness the glories of his creations in action, wearing a personalised battle harness sufficient to carry an array of medical gear, as well as a supply of serum to augment his Totenkorps legions on the fly.
