Biography: Klaus had a generally happy childhood growing up in a small town north of Vienna, Austria. Due to a shortage of work, his family sought out fortune and success in America when Klaus was only 14. Finding a moderately affordable apartment in Gotham City, the Fauerstein family took out a bank loan and opened a semi-successful restaurant. After four years of comfortable living, the Mr. and Mrs. Fauerstein were approached by a criminal organization for extortion money. Mr. Fauerstein refused, and within two weeks, the couple was murdered in cold blood while Klaus was forced to watch. Breaking free from his captor, Klaus ran and never looked back. In the following years, he lived on the streets and learned to survive on his own. He also began training; street fights, martial arts lessons, self-defence. The city was his training ground and he took every lesson to heart in the hopes of seeking vengeance on the criminals of Gotham City. At age 21, he killed his first criminal; a man mugging a young woman on the street. Klaus sliced the man's throat wide open and walked away. From that moment on, he slowly began perfecting his art and began assassinating criminals all over the city. Most people blamed Batman until he caught Klaus trying to kill the Joker. Batman bested Klaus after he proudly confessed to all the murders. Shortly after his incarceration, Klaus was released by Two-Face who offered him a chance to destroy more criminal life as long as he obeyed his new boss. Two-Face convinced Klaus that he was one of the "good guys" and wanted to help clean up the streets of Gotham. What Two-Face was actually doing was having Klaus kill his competitors and rival crime lords and many petty criminals on the side. Klaus was granted access to the best equipment and best training that crime money could buy along with illegal performance-boosting chemicals and implants. Klaus then took on the name "Deadknight" as he thought he was doing the city a service and because unlike the Dark Knight, Klaus actually killed criminals. Some also say the name was given to him because of the "dead look" in his eyes when he killed with no remorse. The name could have also been a play on words because he only operated during the night. Klaus's psyche became very fragile as he convinced himself, with Two-Face's encouragement, that he was a holy vanguard for Gotham and that Batman was evil for sparing the lives of criminals. After being given the task of hunting down Batman, Klaus was unable to kill him and was brought into the authorities once more, but sentenced to serve his time in Arkham Asylum due to the nature of his crimes.

Personality/Tendencies: Has no pity or regard for criminal life. Views crime as a whole as a plague on the planet. Obviously manipulated by Two-Face into believing he was doing a service for society. Believes it is holy vengeance he exacts on criminals and shows no regret for his crimes. He may act violently to other inmates if provoked but does not show any aggressiveness towards any of the staff at Arkham Asylum, including guards. Klaus has had no known means of contacting Two-Face or vice-versa, but could still be prone to influence from him.
