You are his youngest child. A child who possesses no magical powers.

Karlheinz is the main antagonist of the game, anime, and manga of Diabolik Lovers. He is the husband of Cordelia, Beatrix, and Christa. He is also the father of the Sakamaki brothers (Ayato, Kanato, Laito, Shu, Reiji, Subaru, and you). Karlheinz is also the King of the Vampires.

Personality

Karlheinz is very intelligent and powerful, however, he's incapable of feeling love and affection. This is showed through out flashbacks. He also seems to be a womanizer, as he seduced all three of his wives for his selfish plans. Karlheinz gave them false love in order for them to break their children so that his sons learn love from a human girl.

He is also the main reason of his children's traumatized childhoods. Karlheinz heavily neglected all of his children through out their lives. However, Karlheinz will punished them if they displease him. This is revealed when Shu had to repeat another year in high school and Karlheinz exiled him to the North Pole, throwing Laito in the dungeon when it was discovered that his son had a sexual relationship with his mother Cordelia, and when Subaru broke a statue of his father, he ended up being sent to the ocean and finding his way home.

He shows up in most of the bad endings in the game and says that he will kill his own sons if they failed him. In fact, Karlheinz shows that he has no problem abandoning his children. This was showed in Lost Eden, as Karlheinz abandoned his illegitimate son Kino as a child to live the Gouls.

It's revealed that Karlheinz admires human emotions, as he himself lacks of. It's the reason why he wanted children so they could have human emotions. In fact, Karlheinz thinks of his wives and his children as experiments and nothing more. Because of this most of his sons hate him.

His plans were revealed that he wanted to create a new demon race, in which he call it the Adam and Eve Project. The plan was that for his sons to find love in a human girl. He wanted the demon race to have powers of demons, but the lifespans of humans.

Due to Karlheinz's intelligence, he carefully planed his progiect. In More Blood, he took in four human orphans and turned them into vampires. However, he only did this so they serve him loyally.

In Dark Fate, it's revealed that Karlheinz imprisoned the First Bloods when the race was infected with a disease that wiped out their kind. When the First Blood Queen's sister went to him to find a cure for her race. However, he instead sent her to the Demon Lord and there she became the Demon Lord's lover. This act revealed that Karlheinz wanted her to birth to a illegitmate daughter and marry that daughter who later be his first wife Cordelia.

His plans were originally that he was going to be Adam and Cordelia as Eve. However, he does show that he will blame others for his mistakes instead realizing his own faults.

Karlheinz is one of and arguably the most powerful creatures in the demon world, viewed by the bat clan (the vampires) and his whole family as a “God”. He holds an enormous amount of magical power and knowledge, and he never stops pursuing more.

Karlheinz is extremely intelligent but also very manipulative, and even though he possesses great physical and magical powers, rarely dirties his hands on his own, usually manipulating the others to do his bidding.

Karlheinz is incapable of affectionate feelings and doesn’t understand love at all even for the frames of his demonic sub-species. He thinks that just like him the others from the demon-kind cannot feel true love either and therefore starts to admire and glorify the human way of feelings even if he is incapable to feel them himself.

Karlheinz views his wives as test subjects for his experiments in creating a new race, and also his sons from them too. He uses everything to his advantage and views his family solely as tools for his utopia goal of a “new race” that he wants to replace the current demons with, in the Demon World, believing this is the only way for that world to be “saved”.

Being extremely intelligent and powerful and lacking deep feelings of affection towards anyone, he has no remorse at all while using his family and hurting them. At the same time, he can feel confused and can show hesitations if his experiments begin to fail. Still, he will be merciless and will dispose of any failed experiment by himself, even if they're his own sons.

Karlheinz also appears to be charming and great at manipulating women, promising them everything until he obtains them, as he does to Cordelia in wanting to use her as the last remaining First Blood woman. He courts her from a very early age and hides her true heritage from her, even though her existence was part of his plans. He gives her false love and spoils her until she becomes his and then starts to mentally abuse her and push her to her limits in order for his experiments of cross-breeding and then later wanting to use her heart in a human vessel.

To push her to give him children faster, he takes a second wife (Beatrix) to force a competition on her and later marries Christa (Karlheinz's cousin) that he was viewing as a direct sister in order to create an born child for the sake of his experiment.

Karlheinz is very strict and cruel to his sons, and even though he is neglecting them completely through their childhoods, he can order for their punishments if they do something that displeases him. This includes imprisoning Laito Sakamaki, sending Shu Sakamaki to the North Pole for repeating a year in high school, or tossing Subaru in the middle of the ocean for breaking a statue. Therefore and mostly because of the neglect and , Karlheinz dealt to their mothers, most of the Sakamaki hate him deeply.

Karlheinz can show more concern for people who aren’t his own sons, like the Mukami's who he saved in order to make them serve him willingly for his experiment.

Karlheinz becomes more and more fascinated and obsessed with the humans during the years, while punishing his own kind for their own nature, even though he realizes they are that way because they have his genes.

As Tougo Sakamaki and Reinhart, he appears as a friendly, open-minded and ambitious man.

A deeper look into his mindset can be seen when considering his place of residence Eden Castle, his castle in the demon world.
