History
Prior to the RP
Herr Kalt was born into a rich Waldeslandian family and became interested in politics and warfare at a young age. He was one of Viola's senior officers during a counterterrorism operation, but never achieved COship due to not having powers at the time. When it became apparent that he might have powers, he retired from the military to get a job in politics.
Kalt was able to join and later run the Green Earth Coalitionist Party (GECP), a far-right/fascist party akin to groups such as the Alliance of European National Movements - an international alliance of parties including the British National Party, the Spanish Republican Social Movement and the Italian Tricolour Flame. Eventually the GECP was elected into power and Kalt became the Coalition President.
Kalt was able to keep the core foundations of the party in tact while twisting the appearance of the party to the public. Part of thatt was appointing Viola, an Italicolonian, as the Head of the CDF while allowing other non-Waldeslandians the ability to become COs. He also didn't try and stop Viola from forming an alliance with Yellow Comet.
Kalt worked in secret with SMART to develop his CO Powers. The main help with that was Abigail Quinn, the head of security at his mansion. She intended to use him to test out the Dual Strike Theory, but when he tried to rebel against her she had him shot dead.
His most recent activity was spinning in his grave when Kiku, a non-Green Earthling, was appointed as a CO.
Personality
He would claim to be patriotic while others would say xenophobic. He would shun anyone not from Waldesland, which made his dealings with the Avalonian Abigail rather sour. However, he was pragmatic enough not to let that show in public or with his dealings with the CDF - quite wise with at least two non-Waldeslandian COs in the CDF during his time in charge, including the Field Marshal. Despite his xenophobia, he was opposed to war crimes. This was a rather twisted form of honour on his part: he believed that "just because they're scum due to their genes doesn't mean they can't die with a little dignity".
He was also something of a braggart and took credit for the work of the Coalition Government, even the parts he had little-to-nothing to do with, while putting enough spin on the truth to make it seem plausible. This did not stop questions from being raised, however.
Relationships
Kalt didn't get along with people outside his political party. This is what eventually led to him trying to wrest control from Abigail and ultimately, his demise.
Skills
Day-to-day: His underpriced CO Powers charge just as quickly during an attack as they do when defending. However, his units have x0.9 less firepower and defence, since he's a better politician than commanding officer.
CO Power: Fervor: A rousing speech lets Herr Kalt increase the combat effectiveness of his units. They get +1 movement, and indirects get +1 range. Units are boosted to x1.15 attack and defence, standard boost included.
Super CO Power: Moral Panic: Utilising propaganda and falsehoods, Herr Kalt stops any enemy units from functioning properly. Units are unable to move and fire on the same turn. Standard boost
CO Meter: xxxXXX
