Klaus is a character in Jonny Quest.
== About Klaus ==
Back in World War II, Klaus was a Nazi war criminal, and the commandant of an unspecified concentration camp. Dr. Benton Quest was on the War Crimes Commission at that time, and he and the other members had orders to bring Klaus to justice. The Nazi was never found, even though the team had a picture of him.
Many years later, in 1964, Klaus resurfaced on the Devil's Escarpment in Africa. By now, he was going by the name Von Dueffel, and had duped some natives into mining diamonds for him. He also taught these natives how to speak German.
When the Quest team flew to the Devil's Escarpment to recover a balloon loaded with important scientific data, Klaus and the natives captured them. Only then did Dr. Quest tell the others about Klaus. They eventually escaped, only to be pursued by their captors. Klaus stole their plane, and had the natives load it up with the diamonds. He then flew after the group, and began throwing live grenades at them. He missed every time, but did bring a bridge down. Finally, he threw one last grenade, boasting, "This time, I cannot miss!" However, the grenade ended up lodged in the propeller, and blew up the plane, killing Klaus instantly. Dr. Quest declared it wasn't an end he'd wish on anyone, but that Klaus deserved it. They made it back to camp, though it's unclear if they also recovered the balloon.
