Description

Mephistophelian-looking - tall, dark, imposing, with a face sharp and pointed, a magnificent rack of curved horns and an equally magnificent beard and mane, and eyes the color of hellfire. Walks with a pronounced limp. Typically wears a sharp business suit over a black sweater, or, less formally, subtly militaristic rivethead-style outfits. His chimerical garb complements that with a dense mantle of torn burlap and numerous chains wrapped around his body. A bell of dull-colored metal rattles on a leather collar on his neck.

Interests: German history and literature, kink, industrial rock, cookies.

Short Stories

Bio

  • 1982 - Born Jan Niklaus Sauer.
  • 2003 - Emerges among the Kithain after a Chrysalis during a wild student Christmas party at Cooper Union. Connects with several Nocker residents of Goblin Town attending the same party.
  • 2008 - Goblin Town destroyed by rampaging Chimerae. Klaus's acquaintances are never seen again, and presumed perished.
  • 2010 - Opens the Arson lounge, which doubles as an underground BDSM club and becomes a "point of gravitation" for the local Unseelie community. De-facto mastermind of multiple Unseelie hijinks. Positions himself as a "mustache-twirling villain", which leads to the development of NYC's distinct Unseelie style once described as "mostly harmless performative villainy".
  • 2012 - The Crystal Egg Affair.
  • 2014 - The idea to acquire a Kindling Stone to light a Balefire in NYC begins floating around. A group of Kithain, with Klaus among them, undertakes a quest to the center of Goblin Town. The knowledge acquired during his previous visits helps him lead the party to avoid several Nocker traps. Upon return, Klaus "usurps" the seat of the Freehold's Baron - although, in fact, no one else really wanted the job.

"You're welcome. Now, I go to spread happiness to the rest of the station. It's a terrible responsibility, but I have learned to live with it."
- Londo Molari, "Babylon 5"
“I see how it is. We agree to single combat and of course you can still use your enchanted sword, but I bring a single massive flying fortress and suddenly it’s ‘treachery’ and ‘against the spirit of the agreement’.”
– Dread Emperor Perfidious
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's heaven and hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white The moon is just the sun at night And when you walk in golden halls You get to keep the gold that falls It's heaven and hell, oh no - Black Sabbath, "Heaven and Hell"
"No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride... and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well... maybe chalk it off to forced conscious expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten."
- Hunter S. Thompson
"Diese Welt ist der Wille zur Macht — und nichts ausserdem! Und auch ihr selber seid dieser Wille zur Macht — und nichts ausserdem!"
- Friedrich Nietzsce, "Der Wille zur Macht"
Ich will dass ihr mir vertraut
Ich will dass ihr mir glaubt
Ich will eure Blicke spüren
Jeden Herzschlag kontrollieren
- Till Lindemann
"[Ich bin] ein Teil von jener Kraft, / Die stets das Böse will und stets das Gute schafft."

"You couldn't make him up in a story, it would be too unbelievable.  He's one of the most interesting and strangely delightful characters I've come across in my travels, and that's saying a lot."Erzulie Daniels
"A capable leader, to be sure. Some of his proclivities do leave me wondering... for example, why he is so fond of thwarted villainy that I expect he craves being beaten repeatedly by Moose and Squirrel."Edwin Devonshire
"Oh he's a wonderful Tyrant, he eats my cookies and gives me new recipes to try out he even will snuggle up in warm blankets when we watch movies. He's also really brave because he laughs during the scary parts."
- Sweetcrumb
