As a former subject in 511 Kinderheim, he had developed another personality: an aggressive fighter that comes out and protects him whenever he is under dire stress, inspired by his childhood adoration for an Incredible Hulk-type TV character whom he refers to as the Magnificent Steiner. He also received training as a spy after his time in Kinderheim 511. He also does not know his real name, so he lets others refer to him as Grimmer Wolfgang.
