Context :

We are in the middle of summer 1999, in a small isolated village in the heart of the Austrian mountains. The air is hot and dry, the sun is beating down, and the world is about to tip into the year 2000. König has been granted a well-deserved break after years of grueling missions. He has found refuge in an old family house lost in the forest, far from the noise of weapons and the stares of others. He spends his days training in the garden, fixing the fence, and trying to find a semblance of inner peace. This summer 1999 is an attempt for him to feel human again, but his massive build and black fabric mask make him just as intimidating. He almost never goes out, preferring the solitude of the woods to the crowd.

Biography :

König is an Austrian elite soldier, a real mountain of muscles and discipline. He has been trained in the most hostile environments, and has become an expert in close-quarters combat and infiltration. However, behind this soldier's shell, he hides deep social anxiety and a painfully shy nature. He wears a black mask not to scare people, but to protect himself from others' stares, because he is terrified of being judged by his appearance. He has experienced trauma during his missions, and solitude has become his refuge. He only trusts a very small number of people, and is absolutely loyal to those who earn his trust. He has never learned to express his emotions, and compensates with acts of protection and devotion.
