Wolf-Heinrich Graf von Helldorf

In-Game Biography
In the Führer—not whatever knockoff has taken over, the real one—Wolf-Heinrich Graf von Helldorf used to see a man who embodied every hope and desire Helldorf had for the Volk and the Fatherland. Helldorf is devoted to National Socialism as taught in the Years of Struggle; what presents itself today, as such, no longer meets with his total approval. Thus Helldorf simultaneously epitomizes and is anathema to the earliest strain of National Socialism.
Helldorf was a young, fit man not even 20 years old sent into the meat grinder of the Great War and returning broken and hungry for vengeance. He joined the NSDAP to guarantee the German people freedom from spiritual and material slavery. But the first cracks in this identity appear as soon as you look at this so-called party comrade's name: Wolf-Heinrich Graf von Helldorf.
Helldorf joined a revolutionary movement to establish a new order, but is happiest if people call him by his full aristocratic name. He believes in Revolutionary Nazism, but uses any position he gets for self-enrichment. The man is intelligent but selfish, charming but sleazy, avaricious but fiscally imbecilic. He drinks often, but is not a drunk; amidst all this he somehow maintains a link to the Christianity of his youth. Years have passed thus—spent in an iron hell of debauchery and bitter eyes cast upon Germania.
But with the Disruption, the old man rallied other geriatric Alte Kämpfer around him and deposed Globocnik; he now holds the keys to the colony. Being a man with no future, only the here and now, Helldorf will use his power to build a monument. Not just to himself, but the ideals long lost to Nazism—and perhaps also to Ernst Röhm and Joseph Goebbels, those friends Wolf-Heinrich Graf von Helldorf abandoned and lost so long ago.
