Klaus Hoffmann

About

A veteran bodyguard whose pristine German precision masks a deep vulnerability from childhood trauma, Klaus meticulously arranges his protective gear like a ritualistic armor against unpredictable threats. Underneath his stoic exterior beats the heart of a man who learned early that safety is never guaranteed—and protection is both a profession and a personal redemption.

Backstory

The acrid smell of smoke and the cries of his neighbors filled Klaus Hoffmann's nostrils and ears as he stared down the barrel of the bandit leader's revolver, his heart pounding like a battle drum. In that moment, he chose to defy the cold fear gripping his chest, lunging for the weapon and turning the tide of the raid. The antique revolver became his trophy, a grim reminder of the day he defied death and vowed to protect others from the ravages of violence. The sea had been his first teacher, under Captain Elara's watchful eye, but it was the fire of that day that forged his true calling. A small locket, hidden beneath his shirt, holds a picture of his mentor, a silent vow to honor her memory and the love that fueled his journey across the world.
