Description: When most people look at Hans, they don't really see Hans but they instead see his leather suit. On his head is a cylindrical white helmet with a see-through glass visor that shows his face. A face adorned with large grey eyes and grey mottled skin with splashes of red. His suit comes with black gloves and boots, a breast pocket and strangely, a few bloodstains.
One particularly notable feature are the two metal half-spheres on his shoulders which can open up to allow his hearing and smelling tendrils through. He usually leaves them open but in certain emergencies like a toxic gas leaks, he retracts them inside and closes the spheres sealing him off from whatever dangers may be outside his suit.
Despite this sealed garment Hans can speak very clearly through it. He speaks in a German accent which is very strange when you consider the fact that in this land, Germany doesn't even exist.
Personality: Hans is like a medieval doctor... terrifying, brutal, and only held together by the fact that what he is doing is in the name of the greater good. A very scary individual although you can't really call him cold. Hans, like all mutie enjoys performing experiments on other creatures in the name of science no matter the kind. What makes him stand out among the rest though are his deliberate efforts to make his experiments as brutal and painful as possible. Most Mutie are cold and unempathetic and maybe even cruel, but few are as sadistic as this mad doctor. On the bright side, Hans is actually a very a good doctor if you don't mind the fact that he doesn't use anesthetic.
In addition to his work in medicine, Hans is also dabbles in a bit of clockwork engineering. He isn't that impressive mind you, but he plans on changing that one day. He dreams of one day combining the 2 disciplines together.
Despite being a man of science Hans is actually quite comfortable with most forms of magic. Hans sees Lumomancy and Avernomancy as mere facts of life, but he despises arbitomancy. To Hans, arbitomancy is the magic of the idiots, the fanatical, and the mad. The fact that one can simply invalidate years of valuable research into curing horrible diseases by simply casting "cure bubonic plague" absolutely disgusts him. It's especially bothering that arbitomancy is a type of magic that favors mentally inept and actually penalizes the well educated who actually understand how reality works. Why bother studying the world if one can fix all of it's problems by simply believing that they don't exist. Why invent steel when arbitomancers can simply make glass as strong as titanium. What reason does one have to not just sit around on your bum all day and cast "I'm entertained and not hungry". Hans doesn't like to ponder these questions since he can't think of any satisfying answers to them. Hans himself actually can't cast arbitomancy since he is not capable of deluding himself into believing in something that he knows isn't real. So I guess the answer to Hans' previous questions would be because he can't. Sometimes, Hans wonders if arbitomancy was the reason why the Fanai empire fell. After living a life where everything was handed to them through either slaves and magic, when arbitomancy was finally no longer capable of solving their problems (like in the
war of the feathers) what else would they have been able to do?
Biography: Hans was once a brilliant and high-status Mutei doctor when one day he suffered a horrible head injury from a strangely aggressive Hart. After that, Hans was never the same again. He developed a
German accent which puzzled many of his fellow doctors and he seemed to be more easily angered. In fear of another head injury he was forced to wear the helmet you see today.
Everyone stopped worrying about the head injury when Hans began to make new advances in medicine. One day, Hans announced a very ambitious experiment, to create an automata that was powered by a mutei brain rather than a Lampade crystal. Everyone was very impressed with Hans and due to his good reputation he received a lot of support. A coreless automata was donated and Hans was immediately set to work. Many were eager to donate their brains for the cause but over time as no breakthroughs were being made, donations stopped. Hans not wanting all those lives to go to waste continued his experiments and resorted to murdering mutei and stealing the brains himself. Eventually an investigation was ordered and Hans was put on trial. In most cases Hans would have gone free but since his experiments were not yielding any results and more importantly, because he was illegally using mutei brains an execution was ordered.
Now you must know, Hans' experiments didn't yield absolutely no results. Hans himself had learned a great deal about how machinery worked. Prepared for an outcome like this, Hans had tampered with the executioners weapon back when he was still a free man. At his execution, the weapon suddenly exploded allowing Hans to escape in the chaos.
In his new life, Hans became a doctor for the mercenary band after saving the life of one of the fellow mercs.
