“Please, let me light that for you, Mein Herr”
His career as a soldier over, the young man limped home on crutches when he couldn’t catch a locomotive or a carriage. When he returned to his cottage however, he found it to be little more than ash, and Missy with it. Were he a mere week sooner, he would have been there to save her from the freak accident.
While he began life as a noble in the
Von Becker family, Kristoff's decision
to travel the European continent as a
soldier for hire left him estranged from
his namesake. Holding few ties to his
Prussian nobility, he quickly amassed a
modicum of wealth without his family’s aid.
Despite this, he chose to settle in a modest cottage near the
River Ruhr with a young dancer he wed by the name of Melissa, or Missy for short.
He would go off, serve a commission in a far away conflict, and return to her with treasures, be
it soldier’s pay or the spoils of war.
Von Becker quickly found himself as a Bombardier in the ranks of the British Royal Horse Artillery. During a charge from Russian Hussars, Kristoff was gravely wounded, requiring his leg to be amputated.
The wealthy vagrant found himself wandering Europe, crawling inside a bottle in every tavern he could find, unable to shake the pain of existence. It was in a small bar in France that Kristoff was plucked up by a mysterious Frenchman, and whisked away to a new life.

SERVANT
As much as Kristoff is aware at these marvels that resemble the human body, he is wary of Nine's sudden burst of clinginess during his stay at the manor. Kristoff isn't one for reciprocating such positive emotions to a point where it becomes a nuisance.
While he's hesitant to trust the Manor's automatons, Kristoff has found decent conversation with the robotic servants and is constantly marveled at their humanity.
Sharing such close quarters with marvels that were once seen as impossible has brought a new optimism out of the stoic man.
~ASSOCIATES~
Jacques Lebeau
EMPLOYER
Kristoff is forever indebted to the mechanical mastermind that is Jacques LeBeau for granting him the gift of walking once more. As the Manor's bodyguard, Kristoff is prepared to give his life for the man who brought him upright from the brink.
However, one can't be certain if he's willing to give up his soul.
Oliver Holliday
COWORKER
Kristoff views Oliver with a mix of suspicion and begrudging respect. While he recognizes Oliver’s intelligence and unwavering loyalty to Jacques, Kristoff struggles to reconcile Oliver’s manipulative tendencies with his own sense of morality. He finds Oliver’s sharp tongue particularly grating, often testing his patience in moments of tension. Despite their differences, Kristoff acknowledges the value Oliver brings to their shared cause and might even respect him down the line, though trust remains a distant prospect.
Peter Kovsky
PRISONER
Peter is a soldier of Tsarist Russia; the same Army that Kristoff once fought against. While the details of Kristoff's felling are blurry in his own memory, the sight of Peter's smug face sends him into a rage.
