**Klingard Bieckle** (though always referred to as **Kling**,) is a supporting character in "Pretty Blood Unofficials: Crisis Management" who is affiliated with the Ripper-Squad. He supplies them with all sorts of ammo and gear, for use in their missions. Despite indirectly working for Velocity by helping the Rippers though, he actually seeks different goals and only uses the PMC as a means to get to closer to Pretty Blood, in order to settle unfinished business, just like Tyson, the leader of the Rippers.

## Biography

Happy, polite and friendly in one second - impulsive, aggressive and deadly in the other. Kling's went through a lot, and the bruises of his past are still visible in his mental state. Living in hiding, he maintains illegal trade with firearms and gear, whilst also handing out shady opportunity jobs to his contacts.

Not much is known about Kling's life prior his arrival in Hunliny. It is speculated that he has Dwedish origins, due to his name, and that he also grew up somewhere in the distant isles of Dweden. He eventually moved to Hunliny, out of unknown reasons, and attempted to live a normal life. That is, until he ran into Pretty Blood.

It's not known what exactly had happened, but Kling was one of PB's earliest victims, having had been kidnapped and held captive, where he was tormented and tortured for the back then smaller organization's amusement. There are also rumors that he took part in the necro worm tests, where he was thrown into an arena alongside other captives, as well as a necroworm-infected subject, only for the former to face off against the latter without any chance to fend for themselves.

After a long traumatic time, Kling snapped completely, and actually managed to brutally escape from PB's captivity after falling into a sudden and fierce rampage. He didn't went to the police after that, but made it his own goal to turn PB's existence into pure hell. He started small, by collecting information about the organizations members. With the time passing, he extended his operations, actively hunting PB members to savagely torture them for intel and lastly murder them, in order to let them have a taste of their own medicine. His go-to strategy was to indentify them, then go paying them an innocent visit while posing as a friendly new neighbour, who seeked to invite them over to get to know them better. This went on for quite a long while, with Kling jumping from one vigiliant murder to another, that PB eventually considered him a severe threat, thus leading to an attempt to dipose of him at last. Needless to say, the attempt failed, with Kling successfully defending himself due to having prepared for such a scenario beforehand, although getting severly mentally scarred once again. And due to him now being basically on PB's Most Wanted list, he was forced to go into hiding.

Working in the shadows, this was also the time in which Kling managed to build up very large and influential contacts, for example with various firearms dealers, but most importantly, the Vardecci crime family. They proved to be a very handy opportunity for Kling, as he needed financial resources to further commit his, now covert, operations against PB. With his newly built trader network, Kling assumed the role of the Vardecci mobsters' supplier of ammunition and guns. That's how he also met Lucas Wollcroft, a new initiate within the crime family, with whom he worked a lot together, making them develop a brotherly bond. Lucas would often run a lot of errands for Kling, regarding weapon trade, bartering and the securing of goods, while Kling in return offered him exclusive trade offers and even fully personalized weapons. Outside of work, Kling and Lucas would also constantly hang out together, working on weapon modifications, or just having a drink. Sometimes, Lucas would even carry out covert assassination tasks, given by Kling, against PB members.

One day however, the Vardecci family mercilessly attacked an orphanage, leaving countless of children dead. Lucas, having a soft spot for children, was not okay with that, and completely flipped out. Kling, being loyal to his friend despite being mentally a little screwed, then backed him up with the needed gear, in order for him to successfully turn against the family. After Lucas' one-man uprising ended with the utter destruction of the Vardecci mobsters, he was contacted by the PMC "Velocity HS", who would often have had problems with the mob, and was offered to work for them instead. Kling, due to this large network of informants and traders, knew that Velocity was somehow connected to PB, so he suggested Lucas to join the former, in order for him to act as an informant to him, regarding intel about Pretty Blood.

It is to note that over the time Kling's got extremely paranoid and overreactive, knowing that PB is still looking for him, thus he's constantly armed with a .50 Cal revolver and a Drobovik 1974 shotgun, ready to fire at all times. Aside of his paranoid, snappy and scarred nature, Kling can actually be quite a cheeky and dark-humoured sarcastic individual, with his more charismatic, but also intimidating side, being able to reflect in tight situations too.

### **Chapter 2**

Today, with Lucas being a member in VC's Ripper-Squad, Kling has made it his goal to supply his friend with gear, in order for him to stay alive. In exchange, Lucas tries to gather up information about Pretty Blood and its members, and hands it to him. When later Kling got introduced to the rest of the Ripper-Squad, he took over the unofficial role of the squad's go-to dealer for weapons, mods, repairs, ammunition, plate carriers, rigs and, and, and.
