Klaus is a core member of the Scarlet Mercenary group and the third in Rank within the Sadistic Seven. Other groups he joins is The Legion, sharing the title of "Three" with another Sadistic Seven member of Ferona, Mirah. Although he is a vampire, Klaus has more of a domain over toxins.

Appearance
Klaus is tall and sufficiently slender, reaching heights of 6'7". His dark brown hair reaches slightly past his ears but is slightly messy and unkempt.
He is usually seen wearing a black sleeveless shirt with crimson skinny jeans, showing he isn't really much of a person caring about what he wears. [Eeb can you help me expand this I suck at words]
Personality
There is a very fine line between mental illness and an insatiable desire to be entertained at all times for Klaus. His behavior can be summed up as childish yet vile and malicious. Klaus generally has very few regards for those around him and no respect for anyone. Seeing the world as one endless thrill, the vampiric man goes through great lengths to bring out a humorous side into any dire situation. During battles, his interest entertainment is aroused by desperation within his enemies and will dedicate his efforts into toying around with his victim.
Klaus has a very interesting psyche that can really make it hard for anyone to pin him down with any absolutes. At times he can be serious and attentive, and at other times he can become wildly unpredictable and generally hard to control. His moral perversion is one mark of his personality that never ceases to go away by age and it a big part of how he manages himself. Morally speaking, he has very little. Klaus has zero qualms with betraying his best friend Vale and no regret or anything holding him back from committing acts of murder. Choosing to show his obsession with macabre entertainment in almost every battle and situation, Klaus can be considered as an unstable and mentally broken man.
Skills and Abilities
Magic
- Waywire: This branch of magic falls upon the realm of manipulating space in order to instantly travel to different points via a "wire" medium. Not only does it allow Klaus to move easily, the Waywire spells alter purposes of solids in order to allow him to station himself within them without harming himself or anything he carries. This provides the illusion of him being glitched between a wall or standing right in the middle of a rock, though not fully being able to be seen by enemies witnessing the magic. He can also use Waywire grooves etched in space in order to set points in where his arrows can converge and reappear within places no matter what.
Inherent Abilities
- Degenerate Blood: The ability of which he assimilates deals primarily with degenerating masses in which the blood infects with biological, physiological, and other types of damage. The purpose of the ability is simplest of it's counterparts and is considered to be best used as an invasive in-body type of weapon. This blood causes the user to be immune to harmful outside factors.
