==Biography==
=== Background ===
Little is known about Kristoff's life prior to the Nakatomi Plaza takeover. What is known was that he was a French terrorist born on March 15th, 1961, who was hired by Hans Gruber to join his thirteen-man terrorist cell.
=== Die Hard ===
Kristoff, alongside with the rest of the gang, arrived at the Nakatomi Plaza parking lot in courier truck. He traveled to the 30th floor of Nakatomi Plaza to help Heinrich load the equipment to the vault. Kristoff then assisted Theo with the locks on the vault. When Theo finally opened the vault, Kristoff expressed clear delight about it, before helping Theo, Hans and Eddie gather the money. 
After Hans Gruber discovered John McClane was freeing hostages from the roof, he orders Kristoff to blow the C-4 on the roof. Kristoff was against the idea, due to Karl and Uli still being up there. However Gruber took the detonator anyway and set off the explosives himself, with the explosion destroying a FBI helicopter.
When Gruber and Eddie finally finished emptying the vault, Kristoff began transporting the money to the parking garage to where the getaway vehicle was. However, as Kristoff was running through a hallway, John McClane ambushed Kristoff, striking him in the face and knocking him out. While his actual fate is unknown, he is assumed to be alive, and was believed to be sent to prison alongside Theo (he was age 27 at the time of his arrest).
=== Personality ===
Not much is known about Kristoff's personality. He clearly expressed joy when Theo's attempt to open the vault succeeded. He also expressed cowardice when he started to realised that the group was slowly losing members to John McClane. He did seem to show some concern and compassion when he hesitated to blow the C-4 on the roof in fear of killing both Karl and Uli.
=== Appearance ===
Kristoff was a young man who had dark brown. slicked hair, brown eyes and a natural skin tone. He wore a dark grey shirt, dark pants and black shoes. He was occasionally wearing safety goggles.
=== Abilities ===
Unlike the other members of the gang, Kristoff specialized in technology, like Theo. Because of this, he often worked alongside Theo as his assistant. This also implies that Kristoff was one of the more intellectual members of the group (behind both Hans Gruber and Theo). Despite not doing any of the ground work like the other members, Kristoff seemed clearly capable of handling physical work as seen when he was transporting money to the getaway vehicle.
