Backstory

Klaus is from Germany, where he studied medicine for a short time. Not much of his backstory is known, including why he left Germany to live in Devonshire. He has been employed by Lord Devonshire to work in London, which has lost its only plague doctor. First, he must get to London from Exeter, where he has lived for the past month.

Common Attires

Work (plague doctor) outfit

Personality

Klaus is very quiet. He rarely speaks, and often opts to using his cane to gesture when necessary. He's rarely out of his work costume. From what little can be told by his body language, he seems to be cool and collected at almost all times. He seems agitated when unable to maintain his personal hygiene, though, or when forced to linger around non-plagued people with poor hygiene. Unknown to most people, he is very depressed.
