Background/History: There was a time when Klaus Kleisner was a happy well adjusted man. That time ended when he met an American woman named Erica Eillis. Despite EIllis' insistence that she was "wasn't dating" she and Klaus began spending allot of time together. She spent much of her time in his home outside of Munich and for months their "relationship" continued even though Erica treated him with a cool aloofness. Klaus was in love her despite the distance she tried to maintain and his love grew to obsession. He felt she was lying to him more and more and the idea haunted him even in his dreams. When Klaus finally broke down and asked her if she'd been seeing other men while they were together Erica responded," Of course, four of them in fact, but I told you we weren't dating so don't act so surprised." As she told him the intimate details of what had happened between her and her four bed partners, Klaus' gut twisted and inside something snapped. His rage and sense of betrayal triggered his MR node. In that instant, he shut down his emotions and erected barriers in his mind so that he would never be hurt again, becoming more machine than man. In that instant, Totentanz was born.

Personality: Totentanz has been described as shark in a Nova skin, a remorseless, relentless killing machine that lives only for combat and the kill. Klaus allows himself no pleasure, no relaxation. It is only in battle that he finds release and he despises Novas that allow themselves to wallow in baseline weaknesses like drugs and junk foods. Donning trademark golden skull mask and going into battle is one of the few things that bring him any pleasure. Part of him suspects that if the battles and killing where to stop he'd drown in his own festering rage, but that doesn't look like its going to happen any time soon.

Quote: "Ich bin der hammer, der dolch, die Sichel, die alles neidermaht" (I am the hammer, the dagger, the sickle that reaps.)

Appearance: Out of costume, Klaus is the Aryan ideal, standing just over two meters tall with golden hair and powerful physique. His blue eyes are like icy caves and constantly dart about looking fo danger. Emotion never registers on his face making a handsome but cold mask. In battle Totentanz wears a featureless black body suit with web belts for his equipment and carries twin high strength alloy spears. His golden skull deathmask is a feared and famous trademark in the Aberrant setting and the last thing many combat novas ever see.
