Not much is known about this Englishman, other than he is a capable man who puts nothing past the Nazis. He will not dismiss a report out of hand just because it may seem outlandish. However strange it appears, he believes, the truth must be uncovered, or there could be a nasty surprise for Allied forces.
Name: Jack Stone, OSA
Bio: The Director’s trusted assistant, Jack Stone is an American with a keen mind and a thorough knowledge of the workings of the German war machine. The highest officials heed his advice. He has been sent to the Malta office of the OSA and is responsible for collating much of the information as it comes in from the operatives.
Name: B. J. Blazkowicz, OSA/ U.S. Army Rangers
Bio: One of the top agents for the OSA, his talents are needed to investigate rumors of strange goings-on within the Third Reich. It is hoped that Blazkowicz can find out the truth behind reports of occult activity in the German hierarchy at The Wolf’s Lair.
Name: Kessler, Kreisau Circle resistance group
Bio: You are the local contact for OSA operatives in the field. You have been successful in partially infiltrating the SS Paranormal Division’s temporary headquarters and have valuable information regarding their activities. Finding and meeting with the OSA agents can be tricky, but you are determined to fight the Germans the best way you know how.
Nazis
Name: Heinrich Himmler, Founder of the SS Paranormal Division
Bio: An unusual interest in the occult, a little background research into the family tree and a temperament to make Hitler proud all pointed Himmler to his destiny. Gathering the most ardent occult followers and chasing down a myth—a tale from centuries past—has yielded a glimmer of light. His labs and dungeons are haunted by walking undead and monstrous creations and filled with screams from prisoners who know they will never be released from his horror.
Name: Wilhelm Strasse, high-ranking German scientist with the SS Paranormal Division
Taking the fortress means close-quarters shooting and house-to-house fighting. It’s a scenario paintball game, not the streets of Baghdad, so there will be times when you need to offer an opponent the chance to surrender rather then get blasted at 10 feet. (Photo by Ted D’Ottavio)
Bio: Hi skull-like visage and twisted scientific research have earned him the nickname “Death’s head.” Strasse is close to Himmler, but does not subscribe to any of the man’s occult beliefs. Strasse has two passions: science and machinery. He has spent years on his Projekt Uber Soldat, fusing metal and flesh with horrific results. His experiments have spawned creatures that are no longer human yet not fully mechanical. He gives credence only to that which is tangible and fights guns with guns.
Name: Marianna Blavatsky, Oberfuhrer, SS Paranormal Division
Bio: Madame Blavatsky has studied the black arts. She has established herself as the premier practitioner of the occult within the borders of Nazi Germany. As such, she has the ear of Himmler and vast power within the SS Paranormal Division. Blavatsky has mentored many in the occult. With patience and study, the Oberfuhrer has compiled information that could point the Nazis to a power greater than any yet known to the modern world.
We have a winner! National manufacturers like Tippmann Pneumatics will give away products as “door prizes” at big tournaments and well-attended scenario games.
Name: Helga von Bulow, SS Paranormal Division
Bio: This headstrong woman has studied under Marianna Blavatsky and does everything she can to help her teacher. Helga has become a leader in her own right, establishing the all-women Elite Guard to further the cause of the Division. While she has learned much from Oberfuhrer Blavatsky, von Bulow tends to be impetuous. She tries too hard sometimes, running headlong into situations where discretion may be necessary.
