Wolfgang Grimmer

Grimmer is a kind, generous person who believes in the inherent goodness in people. He is very concerned for the well-being of others, especially children, and wants to ensure the best possible futures for them. At first glance, he seems to be a modest person who finds joy even in the simplest things life can offer.

"The Magnificent Steiner" When Grimmer is enraged or in peril, his alternate personality "The Magnificent Steiner" is unleashed, and he becomes capable of extreme violence. Grimmer is by no means a unique case, as Franz Bonaparta mentions witnessing this phenomenon amongst the children in his past experiments. However, he also notes that most of the afflicted children ended up committing suicide, so it's impressive that Grimmer has managed to survive as long as he has. Grimmer was born in 1954 in former East Germany. For unknown reasons, around the age of 7 or 8 he ended up in 511 Kinderheim, where he became friends with a boy named Adolf Reinhart. Eventually, Grimmer was taken out at age 14 and enrolled in a school to undergo spy training. He was provided parents and a home located in an artificial neighborhood, and given his current name of Wolfgang Grimmer. At some point in his adult life, he began working for a newspaper in Leipzig, Germany. While there, a female coworker confessed her love to him. To avoid any potential suspicion as a spy, he married her, and they later had a son. One day, while his wife was out shopping, he walked into his son's room and found him collapsed on the floor, not breathing. Though he tried to resuscitate him, his son died. Due to his inability to feel and express emotions, he was unable to mourn the loss of his son - something that his wife struggled to comprehend. She would later lash out at him while at their son's funeral, accusing him of being heartless and incapable of love, before leaving him.
