Wilhelm Jäger

Wilhelm Armadeus Jäger (Russian: ; surname also spelled Jaeger) is a common sergal living in Petrozavodsk, Karelia, Russia. He is a tactical response training instructor for the Karelia division of the Russian police, working under Captain Stratov. He is a close friend of Mikhail Wojciechowski.

Physical description
Wilhelm is a common sergal standing at 1.91 metres (6'03") tall. He is of muscular build due to daily exercise, weighing 79.4 kilograms (175 pounds). Unlike the common colouration pattern, his fur is predominantly white, with a narrow blue strip beginning at his eyes and terminating at the base of his tail. The fur behind his ears and at the back of his head form four braids - two on each side, both only including the white fur - that go down about six inches from his head. His fur is soft, thick and up to 3 inches long at his neck. He has four fingers on each hand - three digits and a thumb. Short, black claws jut out about a centimetre from his fingertips coming to a sharp V. Wilhelm walks digitigrade.

General attire
Wilhelm's general warm-weather attire is blue jeans and a white tank top. He wears a polo shirt over the tank top when in public. He wears special socks and shoes when outside.

Cold-weather
Wilhelm's general cold-weather attire consists of a brown vatnik on top of the polo shirt, with a dark-green-and-black houndstooth-check scarf. His blue jeans are replaced with thick, grey cargo pants with removable liner inserts. His footwear consists of thick socks and valenki boots. He may don a two-hole balaclava to keep his ears and face warm. He will wear special wool gloves tailored to fit his hands. (The right glove's index finger is fingerless, terminating at his central knuckle.)

Wet-weather
Wilhelm will wear a hooded trench-coat in addition to his general attire. If the weather is cold, the hood will also be up and he is guaranteed to be wearing his balaclava.

Tactical
Wilhelm wears his tactical attire when instructing SWAT trainees in addition to when a situation requires it.

Wilhelm will pair a black long-sleeved polo shirt with a pair of black, armoured cargo pants. Over the polo shirt will be a medium tactical vest with a new-model KM2000 tactical knife holster attached blade-up. The knife is buttoned in the holster when not in use, preventing it from falling out. His armoured cargo pants are a size large to allow mobility, and are held up with a duty belt.

Attached to the duty belt is, in order clockwise from front right, his HK45C at the two-o'clock position, spare magazines at the three-o'clock positon, a D-cell flashlight at the four-o'clock position, handcuffs at his five-o'clock position, a police radio at the seven-o'clock position with a remote microphone/speaker which attaches to the front of his left shoulder by the knife holster, the Ruger Blackhawk at the eight-o'clock position (bottom of grip facing forward), a loose ammo pouch for .357/ rounds at the nine-o'clock position and a loose ammo pouch for the HK45C at the ten.

He wears black low-top combat boots with black socks, with his armoured cargo pants tucked into the boots. His face will be covered by a black two-hole balaclava tucked into the collar of his polo shirt.

If a situation calls for less-than-lethal weaponry, his Ruger Blackhawk holster will contain a Thompson G2 Contender instead, chambered in .44 magnum and loaded with dormicum-base sedative. (Wilhelm chooses dormicum-based sedative over haloperidol-based sedatives, as Mikhail is allergic to the latter.)

Early life and teenage years
Wilhelm's early life contained no real notable events. He was born on September 21, 1985 in Berlin, Germany. Between the years of 1990 and 1992, he attended a private school on the eastern end of Berlin. When he was age seven, his parents moved to Nürburg, Germany to be closer to Wilhelm's mother's dying mother. Wilhelm's grandmother died about a year later. His parents never moved back to Berlin, and Wilhelm attended a public school until age 18, when he was drafted into the Deutsches Heer.

Army life
Wilhelm was assigned to a post in Petrozavodsk, Karelia, Russia, and served as a support engineer, due to his high grades in school. Despite not being an infantryman, he trained as one. He did not see any combat, but provided logistical support for the station he was based at.

He was honourably discharged on September 30, 2008, at the age of 23 and the rank of Feldwebel. Wilhelm was given a house when he was discharged as part of a wager with his commanding officer, residing at 1427 Emerald Street.

Mikhail and the barfight
On October 11, 2006, he was at the Happy Hour Bar in uptown Petrozavodsk getting a meal and a drink while watching a brown wolf and a white ocelot play an unconventional setup of 9-ball using pyramid balls. The two men had wagered 500 rubles to whomever would win. The wolf shot the break and sank the money ball, thus winning the game. He'd offered the ocelot another chance at the wager, and the ocelot agreed. Again, the wolf shot the break and sank the nine legally, again winning the wager. He'd pocketed the 500 rubles merely seconds before the ocelot came up with a chair and smashed it against the back of the wolf's skull. Wilhelm eventually managed to get in and break the fight up before too much damage had been done, calmly explaining the rules of nine-ball and stating that the wolf had won, and that any attempts by the wolf to cheat would have been obvious. The ocelot stormed out of the bar, and the German sergal and the Russian wolf have been close friends since.

Personality
Wilhelm tends to be a tad indecisive when making judgement calls, carefully weighing both sides of the issue at hand. He can be a bit adamant at times, but not as much as Mikhail. He does not much mind large crowds, as due to his height he can typically see over whoever's in front of him. Wilhelm can hide his emotion at will, rendering his face into a blank stare.

Wilhelm is somewhat friendly around people he doesn't know, but won't go out of his way to display courtesies if they're unnecessary. If he likes a person, he'll smile while talking. If he dislikes a person, he will begin to introduce sarcasm into his phrasing.

Despite being more sensible than Mikhail under normal circumstances, he tends to freak out before Mikhail does. He can operate calmly under pressure for a short time, however once that short time is up he might begin to panic.

Combat style
Wilhelm's combat style revolves around his upper body strength and firearms training.

Close-quarters
Wilhelm will generally prefer fisticuffs over using a melee weapon, and will aim for the face and upper torso when punching. He will attempt to disarm an opponent if he can safely do so. His preferred hand-to-hand move is to throw a few jabs with his left hand as a fake out, follow one up with a cross from his right hand, and while pulling back, using his left arm to deliver an overhand. Wilhelm will use his firearm as a melee weapon if the situation calls for it.

Ranged
Wilhelm will typically fire a single warning shot if he and his companions are not immediately threatened. After that warning shot, or if he or his companions are threatened, he will shoot to kill.

Personal weapons
Wilhelm owns several personal firearms.

 NOTE: Some table features, such as helptext, are not available on mobile.

In addition to the above, Wilhelm has two deactivated Mauser K98-K rifles crossed above his dresser, and a Kampfmesser 2000 combat knife which he attaches to his tactical vest.

Trivia

 * Early in Mikhail's creation process, it was determined that he would have a "sidekick" to complement his blunt attitude. The original name was Paul, being renamed to Wilhelm later.
 * Wilhelm was originally supposed to be a gecko of some sort. This was temporarily changed to a fox while the personality was sorted because reptiles are generally cold-blooded and Petrozavodsk is on the same latitude as the southern end of Greenland. He became a sergal when he made his debut.
