A 19 year old Nazi, Franz never served in World War II, as he had been pulled from his world just as the War started. Before then, he mainly served to protect archeological sites that Die FΓΌhror saw as important. All of these archeological searches were failures, as each time they were thwarted by an American archeologist and his allies. Franz was returning home from yet another failed search on a plane which he was the pilot of when they hit a thunderstorm. The clouds ahead of them constantly crackled with lightning which came from the same spot, which was a swirling circle of purple clouds. The turbulence prevented the plane from changing its course, which led them straight into the center of this vortex. As they entered, the plane was struck by lightning, rendering everyone on board unconscious, including Franz. The plane crash landed in a forest, and Franz was the only survivor. Unknown to Franz, this vortex of clouds had actually been a portal to the world in which the person causing the universes to collide was.
Franz is a strict person, not given to kindness or sympathy to those he does not know due to his experience serving underneath the Nazis. He can be caring about those he is close to, however, and is easygoing once he is around people he is comfortable with who he knows that he can afford to act like such around.
Franz wears a black Nazi uniform, and has short blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. He carries with him an MP40 submachine gun, a Colt M1911 semi-automatic pistol, and a Bowie Knife. (for those who don't know what these look like, there are images of them below)
