Heinrich Lunge

Heinrich Lunge is a character from the Monster series.
==Charactah Account==
An agent of BKA (the German federal police), he is assigned to the case of the murders of the three Eisler Memorial officials. Believing Tenma to be the only logical suspect, but deterred by the lack of evidence, he resumes the investigation ten years later after an officer guarding one of Tenma's patients is killed using the same M.O. used on the three doctors. Personal pride, rather than an interest in justice, prompts him to chase Tenma across Germany and Czechoslovakia, concluding that 'Johan' is Tenma's alter-ego
Lunge is cold, ruthless, efficient, and eminently calculating, so much so that it occasionally gets him into trouble, even driving some of his suspects to suicide. His job is his life, and making a mistake in his eyes is a fate worse than death. Lunge's sole mission in life is to catch criminals, and he considers everything else, such as interpersonal relationships, games such as chess, and even sleep to be uninteresting wastes of time better spent in pursuit of investigation.

==Trivia==
*He can be compared to Inspector Javert from Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, whose obsession with Jean Valjean equals Lunge's conviction on the first half of the series that Dr. Tenma really is responsible for the murder of the high ranking doctors at Eisler Memorial and the murder of Adolf Junkers
