Hans

Hans is the head of the IT department at the Phalanx facility in Vienna. He is a worthy ally of Spyman's Cosmos that debted in the In Search of the Scarlet Griffin series. His main field is informatics, but he is also experienced in engineering, mechanics and physics. One of his biggest creations is a set of hovercycles. 
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Hans was born in Austria sometime in the 1990s. At one point in his early adulthood, he applied for a job at Phalanx. He was accepted into the agency and started working in its science department. His achievements quickly led him to the position of IT department leader.
=== In Search of the Scarlet Griffin ===
When Spyman's Cosmos was in the middle of their Scarlet Griffin adventure, they had to change plans and go save Phil's friend Jenny Brown from the hands of BSoD's Gang. After they lost to the villains and learned that their base was in Austria, they needed help in locating it. They contacted Arthur, who was fortunately staying at the local Phalanx facility. He then notified Hans about the thing and he agreed to help. He and his team soon found a high usage of an unknown teleporting technology, 15 kilometres outside of Vienna.
Once the Journey Squad arrived at Phalanx, Arthur welcomed them and introduced Hans, who told them about the discovery. Lenny then commented on him, as he thought Hans would speak in a mix of English and German, but Hans demented that cliché, pointing that he has to know many languages, as he works for an international agency. He then said that he also had a set of hovercycles prepared for the gang, which OkiWan couldn't wait to see. However, once they got to the hangar and Hans presented his inventions with eyes closed, they witnessed nothing in there. He was so devastated by the sudden disappearance of his project, that he even switched to his native language for a brief moment.
Not knowing what caused the disappearance, the gang decided to go to BSoD's base on foot, which made Spy come back to his argument with Phil, but it was quickly stopped. Hans only observed the situation, bored. Later, he met with Dr Saturn and Alice, outside of the building and handed them a small pager-like device with the coordinates of BSoD's base saved on it. Alice thanked him for that and said they should collaborate sometime in the future, but Hans declined, saying he works solo. When asked if he didn't happen to have a team there, at Phalanx, he said they were only assistants, praising his own intelligence.
The following day, after the Cosmos came back to the headquarters, he accompanied Saturn and Alice, who called their friends at Phil's Mansion to recap what had happened. They also found out that it was due to Mad Playz and Joseph's teleporter test, that Hans' hovercycles disappeared, which offended the scientist. Even though Mad swore he didn't do it on purpose, Hans commented that he would do the teleport better than them. Soon after, the chat ended and Phil entered the room alongside Jenny, saying that they're back. Hans replied that they were just in time, as someone else who was revealed to be Arthur, was also back.
After he heard that Spy was facing BSoD's Gang alone and that their mission was about The Scarlet Griffin, Arthur told everyone more about its legend and the consequences of bad people using it. When he finished, Hans ordered that it was time to get into planning, which frustrated Dr Saturn, who was constantly trying to tell something to Alice. He asked everyone to leave and they did so, to return after a minute.
Later, Hans was revising the strategy along with Phil and Arthur. He watched as OkiWan asked No-Life why was he even with them or how the gang discussed Spy's recent behaviour. In the end, he told Phil that he upgraded the jet they were flying in to have more seats, as well as armed it. The boy thanked him and turned away to the big screen and say that they're coming for Spy.
Less than few hours later, Hans was piloting the jet to get the Cosmos to Nisipoulis. When they parachuted, BSoD's Gang opened a fire on them, so Hans did the same to the villains and continued to fly around the island. Once Blue Screen of Death activated the power of the Scarlet Griffin and the gang was beginning to lose, Hans began an open fire for the beast, however to no avail. BSoD simply caught the jet and ripped it in half. Fortunately, Hans got up from his seat and managed to jump out, landing safely on top of some ruins. He then landed behind them, next to Phil and saw him run towards BSoD with no fear, which made the scientist look down.
His attention was caught soon enough by the arrival of the remainder of the Cosmos, but he quickly came back to hiding and remained there, until he was approached by Mad and Caddict, who brought the repaired hovercycles. Hans was astonished that they were in one piece and joked that he would allow Mad to live. Later, the two scientists helped distract BSoD, so that the main four could realize their plan. Eventually, Hans witnessed Blue Screen's defeat and the disappearance of all his constructs. 
Much later, he joined Spyman's Cosmos on a party in Phil's Mansion. He was presumably talking about something during the adventure with Mad, Arthur and Joseph, with the first one poking at Hans at first. While it seemed like he didn't like it, he rolled his eyes and slightly smiled, recollecting the memory positively.
== Personality ==
Hans is one of the many brilliant minds in the Spyman's Cosmos universe. He is confident of his very high level of intelligence and finds his co-workers as much less competent than him. Meaning, he often takes most of the work to do, as he thinks only he can do it 100% correctly. He is short-tempered and arrogant and values his achievements and inventions a lot, as he was very shocked and devastated, once he found his hovercycles "stolen". When he found out that it was Mad Playz, who accidentally teleported them, his attitude didn't change much and he was just blaming Mad, saying how he would definitely build the teleport better, adding that he apparently studied this topic in middle school, which is most likely not true.In Search of the Scarlet Griffin 4/5 Despite his arrogancy, he still respects a lot of people and is a worthy ally of Spyman's Cosmos. Even though he did not agree to collaborate with Dr Saturn and Alice Marbleford at first, preferring to work aloneIn Search of the Scarlet Griffin 3/5, he would most likely be up for it when it would actually happen.

== Trivia ==
* At a very early point, Hans actually was supposed to speak in a mix of English and German, but The Philmer abandoned that, as he honestly hates when something like this happens in pop-culture, unless it makes sense.
* His personality is inspired by the version of Gyro Gearloose from the 2017 DuckTales reboot.
