Johann Kraus

==Summary==
Johann Kraus was a gifted ectoplasmic medium from Germany who joined the B.P.R.D. after his physical body was destroyed during an out-of-body experience. Gifted with the ability to commune with and give form to the deceased/ambient spirits, alongside an impressive intellect and a number of unique advantages brought about by the lack of a physical body, Johann would become an invaluable asset to the Bureau, though his personal agendas and increasing detachment from the human condition would also lead to a number of unfortunate incidents to stain their already disheartening history.

Intelligence: Genius. Even before the destruction of his body, Johann Kraus was a gifted and experienced medium, possessing the ability to communicate with spirits. When he was only ten years old, Johann was already aware of his psychic abilities when he started to see people that others could not and slowly realized that these were ghosts. As an accomplished scholar in occult lore, Johann has proven himself to be an invaluable asset and member to the Bureau and after the departure of Ben Daimio and Abe Sapien's coma, he is recognized as the Bureau's most experienced field commander.
Weaknesses: The extreme sensitivity of his psychic powers makes Johann vulnerable to psychic attacks. If his will is not greater than theirs, Johann's physical ectoplasm can be overtaken and seized by stronger spirits, who are then made corporeal. Without either his containment suit or a physical body, Johann's ectoplasmic form will dissipate. Being placed in the Sledgehammer armor cost Kraus his mediumship and pulled himself even further from humanity.
