This wiki is currently undergoing a major overhaul, so content may be disorganized! Sorry for any inconvenience! Despite his commitment to the cause, "The Baby" would later express reservations about exploiting and dealing with Johan and his connections. The Baby's personality could at best be described as excessively eccentric, and at worst as mercurially xenophobic and violent. In his introduction to Nina Fortner , the Baby was shown to be cheerful and amiable to a fault, with a penchant for decadence, likely due to seeing his goals began to come to fruition with Nina's arrival.
However, after capturing Tenma, he expressed little patience for the Japanese man's interference and nothing but disgust for his perceived racial inferiority, mercilessly beating him when the man tried to retaliate during his interrogation.
He similarly showed no pity or remorse for attempting to burn down the Turkish Quarter, in spite of the presence of hundreds, if not thousands, of innocents, and in fact expressed paramount disappointment when his scheme failed and his "dinner" was ruined. He was also willing to have his men mercilessly kill an innocent child when he snooped in on the interrogation of Tenma, even expressing some degree of glee and revelry in the act, and this action was only stopped by the timely intervention of General Wolf's men.
Regardless, the Baby was shown to have a soft spot for those he felt close to, such as a prostitute he came into contact with, opened up to, and grew to trust. He is prone to cowardice, as indicated by his lingering paranoid fear of Nina Fortner after she confronted him and demanded to know where he planned to initiate the next major stage of the arson attack, during which he wet himself and proclaimed that she was "most definitely Johan's sister.
Little is known of the Baby's past, but what can be verified are his long-term connections to the broader right-wing, ultranationalist movement in Germany and abroad, and that he ascended to a significant leadership role therein. Prior to the events depicted in Monster , the Baby was stated to have been responsible for attempting to build pure-blooded German communities in the eastern bundeslander following the collapse of the communist bloc, the social experiment failed, leading The Baby to resume his racist activities in Frankfurt.
