Viktoria von Eisenfaust

Totliebhaber

Teufelswalküre

**Viktoria von Eisenfaust** (born 1998) is the current Kaiserin (Empress) and Führerin of South America, having succeeded her grandfather following his death, reigning since 1 September 2016.

Born before the metahuman coup that toppled the world governments, Viktoria was the only grandchild of Friedrich von Eisenfaust, the leader of the SS exiled in South America and the de facto leader of a shadow Reich. From an early age Viktoria was experimented on by Nazi scientists, subject to intense physical and psychological torture, in the hopes of creating a viable metahuman. The results, however, were a success, and in 2003 the girl gained the ability to seemingly manipulate time itself. The scientists soon realised it was only a distortion of one's perception of time, but the Nazis succeeded in after decades of failure. Viktoria was trained as an assassin, used to kill enemies of the Reich, and trained to be the perfect warrior.

For most of the 2000s, Viktoria acted as an assassin and enforcer for her grandfather, making a name for herself in South America and abroad as a ruthless enforcer of the Dynastic System. However, in July 2016 Viktoria and a small cadre of conspirators killed her grandfather and most of the Reich Cabinet, staging what looked like a Resistance terrorist attack.

After hunting down supposed traitors--in reality she began to purge the Nazi Old Guard--Viktoria was declared the new leader of the Reich and named Empress. Ruling with an iron-grip, Viktoria has liberalised some aspects of her grandfather's rule--such as eliminating racial discrimination laws--whilst retaining a staunch Metahuman Supremist rule.

## Early Life

Viktoria von Eisenfaust was born 1998 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The exact date of her birth is unknown--she herself has never celebrated or marked it. Her father, Georg von Eisenfaust, was the oldest child and presumed-successor to Dr. Friedrich von Eisenfaust, the acting Führer of the SS in Exile and the leader of the Shadow Reich that dominated politics in Argentina, Chile, and Peru for most of the latter part of the 20th century.

From a a young age, Viktoria was groomed to be a soldier for the Reich, and from the moment she could walk, Viktoria was made subject to the *Institut für Wehrwissenschaftliche Zweckforschung's* experimentations. Despite no success in the several decades since ODESSA's move to South America, hundreds if not thousands of SS operatives sacrificed their children on the altar of science, and being a scion of the ruling clan of South America, Viktoria was no different.

Despite the utter brutality and rudimentary process the Reich employed, finally with Viktoria they reached a breakthrough, and at only five years of age, she demonstrated the ability to seemingly halt time itself. The scientists, upon later experimentation, realised that her ability merely altered their perception of time, in effect "blocking" their minds for a about half a minute. They further demonstrated that she developed incredible durability far beyond any normal human and with strength exceeding that of grown men.

Following their success with Viktoria, other children of SS officers were given a similar procedure. Viktoria herself was placed in the *Jungmädelbund,* alongside other successful metahuman girls. Closest in age and ability to Viktoria were Ilsa Krause, Erika Bormann, Maria von Hildebrand, and Freyja von Ehrenburg. The five girls, along with Antoinette Krueger, Analise Steiner, Anna von Manstein, Freya von Rutzen, and Helga Weber made up the so-called Valkyrie Squad.

Valkyrie Squad, headed by Viktoria, engaged against several assignments against Resistance Cells in Latin

Valkyrie Squad, which Viktoria led from 2005 until its dissolution in 2015

America. Between 2005 and 2015, the Squad engaged in over a dozen operations, raids, and attacks against Resistance groups, as well as several assassination and capture operations against traitors of the Reich--real or perceived. In between missions, the Squad was kept under very spartan conditions, including frequent drills--that often included beatings--and further tests and experiments. The girls were subject to advanced psychological interrogation techniques in an attempt to make them interrogation-proof by enemy combatants in the event they were ever captured.

During this time, in May of 2012, following a mission outside of the capital Viktoria met Father Rodrigo Mendoza, S.J , a local priest. Viktoria confided in the priest, and secretly over the course of several months he provided spiritual counsel for Viktoria, culminating her being baptised and confirmed into the Catholic faith the following spring against the knowledge of her grandfather and parents. Father Rodrigo was the closest adult in Viktoria's life who provided the young woman with any sense of nurture, and he remained a close confidante of hers for several years.

In 2015, with the Resistance increasingly beaten back in South America, Valkyre Squad was disbanded and Viktoria and Freyja promoted to Hauptsturmführerin, and the other girls sent to various other assignments in the capital. Viktoria was transferred the Germania Kriegsakademie for preparation to join the Oberkommando der Waffen-SS or the Oberkommando der Reichswehr.

## To Kill a Führer

By July of 2016, Friedrich von Eisenfaust's rule over South America was absolute, but pockets of Resistance cells remained. As the government hunted down these finals pockets, Friedrich discovered that his granddaughter had become a Catholic. He demanded that she renounce her newfound faith. On the night of the 19th, Viktoria and her family got into a heated exchange when Friedrich revealed that he ordered the murder of Father Rodrigo. Enraged, Viktoria used her time-stopping ability and fled her home.

Waiting on a park bench, she was approached by Sturmbannführer Montana Max, the cybernetic leader of Welthauptstadt Germania's garrison and a ruthless SS officer and ally to her grandfather. Max convinced Viktoria that Friedrich's time had come and that she should seize power for herself. Over the next few hours, Viktoria and Max brought a number of her close friends and allies into a conspiracy.

With rumours and intelligence of Resistance cells planning an attack on the capital already circulating, on 20 July 2016 Sturmbannführer Max placed the garrison on alert as an emergency Cabinet meeting was being held. At the meeting, Viktoria entered and assassinated her grandfather, parents, and other members of the Cabinet. Officially the attack was blame on the Resistance cells, with the Gestapo blamed for security leaks. Max, as leader of a caretaker Cabinet, began to purge high ranking SS and Gestapo members. Evidence was forged when necessary--links to Resistance Cells, trumped up charges on unrelated matters were used, and in some cases suicides were fabricated.

By mid August, it seemed evident that Max would secure full control over the government, but in a shock, he announced that he would step away as leader to allow the young Viktoria to take over as Führerin. In her first public address, Viktoria announced that she would have a new constitution written up, eliminating the strict racial policies of her grandfather and the National Socialist Old Guard. In keeping with the wider Dynastic System, Viktoria further announced that she would take the additional tile of Kaiserin and federated South America, delegating much more direct authority.

On 1 September 2016, the Reichstag approved the new Constitution and Viktoria was made Reichskanzler, Führerin der Nationalsozialistischen Arbeiterpartei, and Reichsführerin-SS. In a separate and private ceremony, she was crowned Kaiserin Südamerikanischreich and Königin Argentinien by the Catholic Archbishop of Buenos Aires.

## Kaiserin und Führerin

Viktoria's first act as the Great Lord of South America was assuring that people loyal to her were in command of the Waffen-SS. Under Max's custodianship, many of the Division, Corps, and Army positions of the SS were replaced with members of Viktoria's former Valkyrie Squad: she expanded this, so that by the end of the year the most senior positions from the Division level all the way up were former members of the *Jungmädelbund--*people she could trust utterly*.*

Viktoria also set about reorganising the Cabinet, drawing from the same pool of commanders. While her grandfather mixed his Cabinet with officers, aristocrats, and National Socialist Old Guards, Viktoria selected officers loyal to her personally, but also giving consideration to the various factions within the South American ruling elite.

Another early reform Viktoria enacted was the legalisation of coca production in the Reich. The drug trade had long been occurring underground, and Viktoria sought to bringing under her direct control as another cash flow and power base to build on. Following its legalisation, she issued a blanket pardon to anyone previously engaged in coca harvesting and cocaine production, forming the Reichsministerium fuer Kokainproduktion. Viktoria appointed her close childhood friend Freyja Graefin von Ehrenburg to head the new ministry. A little over a year later, Viktoria nationalised all coca production before selling the manufacturing centres to herself, forming the Reichsgilde zur Kokainproduktion as a private enterprise, with herself as the owner and CEO, and controlling all cocaine production in the Reich as well as owning all vendors. Freyja was named acting President and in charge of the day to day operations, with a 10% controlling stake.

Similar legislation targeting the Panama Canal and petrol production followed, bringing much of the Reich's largest corporations and sources of income directly under Viktoria's personal control. With control over the SS, the loyalty of the Cabinet and her vassals, and multiple sources of income Viktoria embarked on an ambitious policy of rebranding the Reich from the interdynastic pariah it was under her grandfather into a responsible and dedicated member of the Dynastic Congress. Viktoria further focused on domestic reforms, ensuring general metahuman supremacy regardless of ethnic or cultural background and opening up the lower bureaucracy and business management to non-metahuman citizens. Viktoria ensured this by offering citizenship to her subjects who served a decade in the military and through other nation-building schemes.

## Crushing the Resistance

With the government situation secured, Viktoria focuses the next four years defeating the remaining Resistance forces in Latin America. The tumultuous period after her grandfather's death galvanised the Spanish-speaking majority and saw many groups heavily recruit against her. Viktoria's own experience in fighting the Resistance and a more dynamic officer corps, now almost exclusively led by metahumans, gave her an edge over the Resistance the National Socialist Old Guard lacked and she waged a bloody war against them.

After three years of nation building, COIN operations, and suppression, Viktoria largely rooted the remaining Resistance cells out of South America, at least to the point that they could no longer threaten the integrity of the South American Reich. Her the domestic front secure, Viktoria began the process of looking outwards. She had long worked to improve the standing of the Reich to the other Great Houses, and as the Dynastic Congress passed Resolution #24601 to finally destroy the Resistance bases in Australia, Viktoria was one of the firmest champions of the plan.

Following the Dynastic capture of Melbourne on 25 April 2020, the General Congress elected Viktoria Supreme Commander of the Campaign to Defeat the Resistance, a role Viktoria relished in and quickly launched into her new position, starting with defending Melbourne from a Resistance counter-attack.

By May, the Australian coast was primarily in Dynastic hands, and the fall of Canberra would secure the defeat of the Resistance. Viktoria left the handling of Australia to Erika Bormann, her ruthless Minister of War. As Erika planned the defeat of the Resistance, Viktoria travelled to East Asia. There, Viktoria participated as an observer to the East Asian Conference, meant to bolster unity within the Great House, before heading to Hong Kong for the next session of the Congress, hosted by South Han and Lady Guan-Yin.

The main issues the Congress debated were the future of Australia and punishment for the Morrigan, who annihilated Canberra and caused significant friendly-fire. After much debate, including vitriolic comments that threatened the unity of the Congress, Viktoria proposed a compromise--to let the Royal Couple decide on a new Great Lord for Australia, and for sanctions placed on the Morrigan. Both measures passed, and Alexandra Ashwood was selected as the new Great Lord of Australia.

## Personality and Character

Viktoria maintains an outward persona of being courteous and charming, the perfect officer and noble and the embodiment of all that one expects of a refined noblewoman. Viktoria's sincerity is also a noted trait, and while she is not about cutthroat realpolitik, Viktoria is not a politician by inclination, but one through necessity.

Viktoria's outer persona as a confident leader masks deep insecurities from a girl who never wanted to lead but was forced into her role as Great Lord of South America. It further masks the trauma she and her close friends suffered as children at the hands their SS masters, and is both a source of deep pain and the cause of her vindictive, sadistic, merciless, and cruel behaviour. In private and with her closest friends, Viktoria is brooding, sullen, and almost dour but still retaining a slight sense of humour. Her complicated relationship with the ideology that raised her, which birthed her iron-will and coldness, also produced a girl skeptical of claims of ethnic superiority. As such. Viktoria sees no difference between Aryan and Semite, but her use as a weapon and treatment as a child and young girl by non-metahumans has coloured her outlook on life, giving her a deep mistrust of non-Metahumans and instilled in her the values and morals of Columbia and Hammer, and thus the wider Dynastic System. She believes only metahumans deserve to rule Earth, and will never again allow non-metahumans to control her or her friends.

Viktoria has been a devout Roman Catholic since her teenage years, providing her with a sense of moral justice that she has used to shape her rule and a deep responsibility to rule and uphold a right and orderly state, as well as a support structure to to help her in times of need. However, Viktoria is also plagued with a sense of guilt over her actions, especially the many people she has killed over the years.

While Viktoria's official residence is at the Reich Chancellery in Welthauptstadt Germania, Viktoria's bad memories of the city means that whenever she isn't required to be in the capital, she prefers to stay at her private castle outside of the city. There, she enjoys hunting, horseback riding, and entertaining her friends and other guests. She had the castle modeled on Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, and includes a substantial library and chapel, so she can still attend daily Mass.

Viktoria's preference to lead from the front and often engage in military operations alongside the rank and file soldiers has made her quite popular with both the SS and Reichswehr.

## Appearance

Viktoria is noted to be quite short, standing at only 154 cm in height, and weighing 54 kgs, and with measurements of 86/60/87. Despite her petite frame, Viktoria has a muscular build and physique from her years of military training.

Viktoria has very pale features, with blue eyes and long blonde hair, which she often keeps tied at the back with her right fringe mainly draping over the right side of her face. She is seldom seen outside of military uniform, either her black SS dress uniform for most occasions or a grey field uniform.

Viktoria's small stature and petite features have endeared her to a large segment of the South American population, especially amongst the soldiers, and both formal images and bootleg "pin-ups" of her are quite common.

## Powers and Abilities

**Super strength**: Viktoria is able to lift 100 tonnes. Viktoria is also far more durable than a regular human, able to survive an M829 tank shell head-on with only a slight concussion.

**Combat expertise**: Viktoria was trained since birth to be the perfect soldier and assassin. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of most modern-day weapons and fighting styles, including Muay Thai, German Jujutsu, and Jieitaikakutōjutsu.

**Chronoprohiberis**: Viktoria can stop time for those within a 30 metres radius x 50 metres height of her for 30 secs. During that half-minute (relative to her), Viktoria is the only for which time flows normally. As this is only a shift in perception, physical objects, such as bullets, are unaffected.

**Charisma:** Viktoria is known to be quite charismatic, a factor from both her physical attractiveness, willingness to put herself in harm's way, and sincerity. She has attracted a very loyal cadre of officers and is very popular with the SS and Reichswehr.

**Linguistic Ability:** Viktoria is known to be quite skilled in terms of languages, speaking German and English fluently and with a working knowledge of both French and Spanish. She also knows Latin with some proficiency.

## Relationships

* Georg and Frida von Eisenfaust - Viktoria had a frosty relationship with her parents, who viewed her less as a child and more like a tool further the agenda of ODESSA and the IWZ. After sending her to be tested on and throughout her childhood, Viktoria had little interaction with her parents, and in their rare moments together, she referred to them almost exclusively by their military titles. When she killed them on 20 July 2016, she had little remorse
* Friedrich von Eisenfaust - Like with her parents, Viktoria did not have a good relationship with her grandfather. While her relationship with her parents could be described as frosty at best, Viktoria held Friedrich with outright contempt, although she also feared his temper. When he ordered the murder of Father Rodrigo, Viktoria's contempt towards Friedrich turned to outright malice, and did not hesitate to kill Friedrich personally, even enjoying the act.
* Father Rodrigo Mendoza - Father Rodrigo was the closest thing Viktoria had to a parental figure in her life, and she often approached the Jesuit with her trials and tribulations. He offered her sage advice and was her personal confessor, and was likely the only person who could tame her most sadistic impulses. Father Rodrigo's murder left a deep wound in Viktoria, that she arguably never recovered from.
* Freyja von Ehrenburg - Viktoria's closest friend since they were children and a member of the "Big Four", Freyja's brash, bold, and over indulgent personality seems polar opposite of Viktoria's reserved nature. Despite this, the two girls have been through much together and Viktoria often relies on Freyja for emotional support and general advice in running South America. Trusting her completely, Freyja is one of a handful of people who can talk Viktoria down and survive, and one of few people who still calls Viktoria by her childhood nickname, Mäuschen.
* Ilsa Krause - Viktoria's Vice-Chancellor and one of her closest friends, Viktoria relies heavily on Ilsa's telepathic abilities and sharp intellect. Like Freyja and the other members of the Big Four, Ilsa and Viktoria grew up together and were both part of the same metahuman class that made up Valkyrie Squad. While Viktoria and Freyja enjoy a close emotional bond, Viktoria often comes to Ilsa for intellectual and practical advice.
* Erika Bormann - The Reich Minister of War, and arguably the most sadistic member of the Cabinet, Erika, like her compatriots, was a member of Valkyrie Squad. Erika's knowledge and aptitude for battle has made her an invaluable ally to Viktoria, and Erika often encourages Viktoria's more sadistic tendencies. Erika is supremely loyal to Viktoria, and Viktoria views Erika as one of her closest confidantes.
* Maria von Hildebrand - Viktoria's Financial Minister and the youngest member of the Cabinet, Viktoria has always views Maria as a little sister, and often took beatings that would have gone to Maria due to the latter's physical weaknesses. Maria, as a fellow Catholic, is one of few people in the Cabinet and the wider Reich who is aware of Viktoria's religious affiliation.
