Hans Einfach

**Hans Einfach**is a recurring character in *Revolution* and a guest character in*Contact.*

In terms of the series narrative, Hans Einfach is the appointed Commandant of the Toontown Colony, ostensibly serving under Colonial Governor Constance Miller, but in reality put in place to ensure she does not step out of line.

## Appearances

### *Contact*

Hans Einfach made his first appearance in "Into the Fire," when he was appointed as the Commandant of the newly-formed Toontown Colony. In theory under Colonial Governor Constance Miller, Hans made it apparent in their first moments together that he was in charge.

### *Revolution*

Hans returned in "Aurora," when he summoned Constance Miller to Toon Hall, which he took over as his primary office. He destroyed the transport grid and demanded Constance turn over all known BioFreaks. She refused, and Hans struck her. Hans's grip over Toontown continued to tighten in "Billow and Breeze" as more and more Toon rights were stripped away. Hans carried out the slaughter of the Caligari family upon the death of Cornelia Caligari in Cartonia. In "Common Sense," Hans oversaw the construction of a communications tower in the Brrrgh to facilitate communication between Toontown and the parent stem.

After Horace Calves killed a fox in "Night of Shattered Stone," Hans ordered a pogrom to be launched against the Toons in retaliation. The ensuing Night of Shattered Stone destroyed much of Toontown's infrastructure and killed many Toons. Hans continued to inflict horror upon the Toons in "Outlast Your Queen," when he enacted orders from Vella Vixen to slaughter 200 Toons at random. This led to a dramatic swordfight between him and Constance Miller, which ended in a draw.

Hans ordered the Toon schoolhouse reopened in "Assailants Unknown," with lectures led by Pete Ingalls and pre-approved to be comprised of Vulpine content. The Toon students were therefore taught about the origins of the War from the fox perspective.

Hans appeared in a flashback fifteen years prior in "All the Queen's Men" when he was still a Second Officer. He recruited Rook James for the army.

In "Terminal," Hans ordered the foxes to investigate Kilo Byte, and his Tooncog operation was uncovered. The foxes took possession of Kilo's triplets, and arrested Kilo. He was imprisoned and Hans demanded that Kilo flip on the Toons and become a scientist for the Vixen Queen. When Kilo refused, Hans showed him nonstop footage of Hyla Sensitive being executed in Cartonia. Hans revealed to Constance in "Into a Land So Free" that the triplets were going to be converted into BioFreaks as a gift to the Vixen Queen.

In "Vulpus Aflame," Constance Miller tricked Hans into thinking there was a War Plague outbreak in the Marshes. He went to assess the situation, and was ambushed by Constance. The two dueled in the coal pits, but neither won the match. Hans returned to Toontown to request reinforcements from Vella Vixen. She refused to help, as she was attempting to stem a growing revolution in Vulpus. Hans then begged her to use the Horizon Bomb, which she ultimately authorized.

Hans and the foxes retreated in "Toontown Asunder." Their victory was cut short when Rook James betrayed the Empire and dropped the Horizon Bomb on the retreating Armada. Hans perished in the mass destruction.
