Commander Hans Schneider

Commander Hans Schneider AI Rendition

### Background

Commander Hans Schneider joined Leistung at a young age. His ruthless ambition and forward thinking caught the attention of Gideon Silver, and the original SilverCorp founder took it upon himself to groom the young man to become the next Leistung leader. In due time, Schneider would become the Leistung Führer, obtaining an insurmountable amount of power and wealth. Working alongside Gary Silver, Schneider has set out to fulfill the Silver family birthright, hoping to achieve eternal power and create the perfect world.

### Torrent Breach

Schneider does not physically appear in Torrent Breach, although he is mentioned visiting Gideon and Mary Silver at the Munich Hospital, ensuring them that the Eternal Serum is nearing its completion.

### Subject A01

Schneider enters the Leistung Headquarters in Munich and checks in with Dr. Elias Meyer on the Eternal Serum's current status. The two discuss some potential obstacles in the serum's development, but Meyer is confident that Leistung's research team will meet its deadline. Their conversation takes a turn when Schneider notices the bacteriophages that Meyer is studying to enhance the Eternal Serum. Schneider wants to weaponize the deadliest creatures on earth, and has future plans regarding their usage.

Much later, Schneider and his executive team arrive in Montour and recover the mutilated corpse of Joyner Knowles. Dr. Meyer mentions that he is weary about the science regarding "Delta Armageddon", but Schneider ensures him that the legends surrounding some missing artifacts is very real. Schneider and his team were supposed to kill and recover Danielle Egan from the Hamptons County Jail, but their plans change when Teddy Silver frees their prisoner from captivity. Instead, Schneider and Lieutenant Royce Lehmann invade the prison, killing or kidnapping every guard or prisoner on the premises. Schneider claims the live ones will make excellent test subjects for the Eternal Serum, hoping that with this batch of prisoners, Meyer will complete their current operation.

### Outfits

#### Subject A01

1. (*Worn while conversing with Dr. Meyer at Leistung HQ about Eternal Serum*) Commander Schneider entered the Leistung Headquarters wearing an illustrious brick-red military uniform, having medals and military honors pinned to his soft jacket.  His black steamed military pants were detailed with a brick-red strip running down each leg, having them tucked into his posh black leather military boots that glistened with each step he took.  Schneider's hands were encased in a pair of excellently fitting black leather gloves, matching the silky black dress shirt underneath his uniform.  Bringing everything together, Schneider was wearing a brick-red military cap, having a silver Leistung logo reflect everything that he faced.
2. (*Worn while recovering Joyner Knowles remains from abandoned steel mill*) Schneider looked comfortable, even in the dreary steel mill, wearing a dry cleaned navy blue jacket with squared shoulders, entirely sealed up with three rows of four gold buttons, keeping the prestigious jacket closed.  Around Schneider's waist, above the jacket, he was wearing a black leather belt which was held firmly in place by a cast iron clip in the shape of Leistung's iconic logo.  Schneider's fitted slacks matched the color of his jacket, leading down to a pair of freshly polished rounded-toe leather dress shoes that glistened brightly, even in the steel mill's doleful lighting.  On his head, Silver was wearing a navy blue commander's cap with black leather trimming around the cap's base, topped off with a cast iron Leistung logo in the middle.  To finish up the look, Schneider was wearing white cotton dress gloves that seemed too posh to wear in such a horrendous environment.
3. (*Worn while invading Hamptons County Jail with Lieutenant Royce Lehmann*) Schneider was dressed for the mission, wearing a black bulletproof vest with three large pockets overtop of his neatly hemmed gray dress shirt.  A black tie was pinched between his collar, effortlessly slipping underneath the bulletproof vest.  A large Leistung patch was stitched onto the right sleeve of his dress shirt, showing off his political allegiance.  Schneider was also sporting a pair of black tactical cargo pants with large side pockets.  His pants were tucked into a pair of tightly laced-up black leather combat boots that matched the material of his smooth gloves.  Finishing his look, Schneider wore a gray commander's cap, having a black Leistung badge pinned to his cap.
