Doktor Blutwurst
Doktor Blutwurst is a key member of the Berman Empire and the fourth major boss in Fuga: Melodies of Steel.
Biography
Blutwurst is a brutal mad scientist in the Berman Army who conducts inhumane research under special orders from Shvein Hax. Due to a severe inferiority complex as a Felineko, he dons a Caninu mask, but he isn't fooling anyone. He speaks in a very eccentric manner and is mentally deranged enough to have those who scoff at his mannerisms killed on the spot (according to a "Rumor of a Berman Soldier" from Berman Reports).
Blutwurst is an overweight Felineko with a small tuft of dark hair on his head. His mask and fake ears are both made from what looks like leather, and he is always seen wearing them. Under his green military jacket, which is held onto him with a large belt connected to his gas tanks, is a long white lab coat. He is only ever seen without his mask and ears in one scene, where a Berman soldier kindly reminds him that he forgot to put it back on.
History
Due to the Berman Empire's hatred of Felineko, Blutwurst was born into an abusive household, where his Felineko mother, who came from a family with a bad reputation, was shunned in their own home by his Caninu father who came from a prestigious Berman family. Because of growing up in such a heavily divided family, Blutwurst became hateful of Felinekos overall and makes some effort to disguise his cat-like features. When a Berman soldier witnessed him with his mask off and laughed over his Felineko heritage behind his back, that soldier soon "died of mysterious causes" (according to a rumor in Berman Reports).
Hax would be the one who appointed Blutwurst to run the Bio-Energy facility in Mau, which was much to his delight as Blutwurst finds the place to be more of a sadistic playground rather than a laboratory. Since Mau is home to a surplus of Felineko with the ability to channel Nono, he had more than enough resources to conduct torturous experiments and create bio-batteries for Hax's ulterior motive.
Fuga: Melodies of Steel
When the children aboard the Taranis invade the Berman Secret Service prison camp, Blutwurst enters a state of insane rage and engages in war with them. Soon after losing the battle, his final words are cut short when his military vehicle explodes and kills him.
His last worries were that of his experiments, which the children soon discover involved trapping prisoners into large Bio-Energy batteries. While many were still alive, it was clear that he succeeded in completely draining a number of victims. The energy extracted from the captured Felineko would later be transferred to the Tarascus in order to revive the core of the Vanargand.
Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2
He makes no appearance in Fuga 2, but due to his experiments in the Berman Secret Service prison camp (and Shayne Muscat's pacifist policies allowing Gasco to be invaded by the Berman Empire), Cayenne Riesling's wife and son both perished after being captured and drained of their Nono by Doktor Blutwurst's experiments. This event would result in much of the game's conflict, driving Cayenne's revenge arc against the Berman Empire for killing his family and Gasco for allowing his family to die in the first place.
Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3
Despite being presumed dead after the events of the first game (and hardly being mentioned in the second game), he makes a stinger appearance in the third game's trailer, now sporting some cybernetic enhancements and a glowing red Terminator-esque eye. And he absolutely wants his revenge against those that wronged him.
