Canon: Call of Duty: Zombies

History: Here. The only relevant part is under "Ultimis Richtofen;" disregard Primis, that's a different version!
Appearance: Here
Personality: Imagine the stereotype of a mad scientist with a heavy German accent. Flamboyant personality, love for the unusual, and a willingness to do whatever it takes for the sake of "progress..." And you have Richtofen.

While at first he used to be a rather mild-mannered man, his personality was starkly changed when he touched an alien artifact on the moon. It infected him with voices of eldritch creatures that quickly drove him insane. His careful reservations were replaced with a loud desire to experiment on people, animals, and whatever else might entertain him.

Richtofen no longer has a sense of right and wrong. What he cares about is what will gain him the most power and entertain him most. He struggles with empathy and understanding how other people feel; when confronted with the idea of a "trust barrier," i.e. a mental barrier that may keep someone from putting their trust in him, he believed it to be a physical body part that he'd need to dissect people to try and find.

He's a manipulative, scheming asshole, and would go to any lengths to deceive people. He spends his time lying to his teammates in zombie-killing to trick them into serving his own ends. He takes delight in knowing that people are doing what he wants against their own self-interest.

Richtofen is sadomasochistic, with an emphasis on the sadism part. Causing pain brings him great pleasure. Receiving it is a thrill, a reminder that he's alive, but giving it reminds him that he has power over life and death.

He's not afraid to get his hands dirty, even if he can be a bit finnicky sometimes. With a love for the undead that he and his team kill everywhere they go, calling them his "children," he's certainly an exception to the rule that zombie-killers hate their prey. He takes great pride in having aided in the zombies' creation.

Quick to anger, with an explosive temper, he's also prone to mood swings. He can be perfectly sweet one moment and ready to blow your head off with a shotgun the next. He follows his own whims above all else, even if it makes him more suspicious sometimes. He has problems keeping his thoughts to himself, a victim to outbursts of his own making.

This lying, cheating, murderous bastard is hard to get along with, particularly if you're on his bad side, but he does have a soft spot to him. Romantically inclined toward one of his teammates (who does not return his affection), he's not afraid to flaunt his sexuality, even to the detriment of the comfort of others. He seems to have a fondness for soft, hairy, filthy men.

He thinks highly of his own intelligence. As a doctor, he's certainly earned a bit of an ego. However, he overestimates himself constantly, prideful and narcissistic.

All in all, Richtofen is a disgusting little gremlin bastard man. He deserves to be locked away with no way out for the rest of his miserable, scheming life.

What did they do to end up here?: The real question is, what hasn't Richtofen done to end up here? His crimes range from garden-variety poor manners and lack of boundaries to far more serious torture, murder, and the desire to destroy the entire world like some kind of cliche video game villain. Wait...

Anyway. Richtofen is the archetypal mad scientist, who kidnaps people to experiment on them for his own gain. He has a nonexistent understanding of concepts of good and evil, and does what he wants at all times. If what he wants is to cut out someone's spleen, well, so be it.

His psychopathic behavior extends to children and animals, who he's not afraid to experiment on and/or murder if it suits his ends (though he has a soft spot for dogs). While he's not sexually abusive to either of those groups, those reservations don't extend to the adult men who he travels with, who he's not afraid to feel up or harass with his constant flirtations.

His end goal of controlling all the zombies (that he helped create) on Earth and enslave the living population is pretty prison-worthy in and of itself, probably.

He's also a lying, manipulative sneak. Though he's not a Nazi himself, he has no qualms dressing up like one to deceive his teammates, which has to be another crime worth being jailed for. He'll obscure the truth, mislead, and do whatever it takes in order for things to turn out in his favor.

Powers / Abilities: Richtofen is adept with weapons of all kinds, from the normal to the fantastical. He's a skilled surgeon and intelligent inventor, and, despite his wild personality, is actually rather smart. While not necessarily a "power," he does suffer from otherworldly, violent voices inside his head (not schizophrenia; it's an external force, not a mental illness).
