Klaus Aldain

Klaus Aldain was the heir to the Aldain Syndicate.

* Normal
* Monsterification

## Background

### Early Life

Klaus was born with several illnesses including a lung condition that required constant medical treatments just to function. Despite this his father Dietz insisted that he befriend Alice Alderman as part of his attempt to overthrow her father, as such her and Michael were the only friends he had growing up. He and Alice would regularly spar with Michael as a form of playing, but his health conditions combined with his friend's vast growth in strength and skill left him unable to keep up.

### Betraying the Alderman Family

Klaus's health issues worsened as he grew older, until one day Alice offered him some of her father's special medicine. He accepted with the intent of getting better, but his father found it and took it from him. Seeing this as the opportunity he had been waiting for he asked his son to get another formula from Alice, which he did as he desired only to please his father. Dietz would then exchange these formulas to Bramon Xanthe in exchange for various resources, including a procedure to turn Klaus into a Superhuman.

Klaus would put his newfound powers to use waging war against the Alderman family, killing their men and taking their businesses for his father. During this time, he would save Danica Gorman following her failed assassination of Oscar Leicht. After she recovered, Danica trained him on how to better use his powers. After he was sufficiently trained, they hunted Oscar down and defeated him. Once they made it clear they had no intention of killing him, Oscar joined them further strengthening the syndicate.

### The Casino Job

Klaus is tasked with retrieving the prize from the poker game at the Montero casino. After failing to win the prize "fairly" he resorts to ambushing MC, Alice and Michael as they head home by crashing a truck into them. He mortally wounds Alice and Michael and easily defeats MC thanks to his barrier, but is forced to flee when he accidentally opens up the prize and reveals that its inhabitant is still alive. He assumes that both Alice and MC are dead after this incident due to the injuries they sustained.

### The end of the war

Klaus and his underlings are chewed by Bramon for their failure, and are told to hunt down the monster so that he could begin an unknown procedure on Klaus. Klaus initially plans to hunt the monster down while it is still injured, but is forced to change plans after MC and Alice emerge and mortally wound Danica. Klaus then burns down Alice's house and kidnaps her father.

A week after burning Alice's house down, he ambushes MC at his house and captures him, prompting Alice to mount a full offensive to rescue him and her father. Klaus fights Alice and defeats her, but is prevented from finishing her off by an escaped MC. MC manages to back Klaus into a corner, but some timely intervention from his goons gives him time to induce a temporary monsterification using a drug given to him by Xanthe. Using his newly increased power, he toys with Alice and MC until the latter evolves. MC is able to easily defeat Klaus, but is prevented from finishing him off due to hallucinations caused by his connection to his progenitors. Klaus attempts to use his final breath to take MC with him, but Alice kills him before he can.

#### Dead Ends 12, 13 and 14

* If MC chooses to fight at range instead of close quarters, he dies because he takes to much damage in the process of getting past Klaus's barrier
* If MC attempts to size instead of agility, he dies as Klaus is easily able to out maneuver him and his extra size does little to protect him from Klaus's plasma
* If MC attempts to go after Klaus instead of helping Alice deal with his giant plasma attack, he dies as Klaus is able to redirect the giant ball towards him after it kills Alice

## Powers and Abilities

Klaus was artificially empowered by Bramon Xanthe using the body of an M37: Luz Mala. His power - Pink Plasma - gives him the ability to generate and manipulate plasma. The amount he can produce at a given time is limited and attempts to go beyond this limit weakens his abilities. However the power is extremely energy efficient and through training Klaus was able to create several special techniques - all named after shades of pink - to help him in battle:

After undergoing a drug induced partial monsterification, the limiter on Klaus's powers were removed and he was able to manipulate huge amounts of plasma with even finer control. The drug increased the amount he could generate disproportionately to the amount of extra power it gave him, causing him to exhaust himself faster. He showcased a few more power variations:

Another notable weakness to his powers it that the graviton spheres of Alice and her progenitor are able to repel his attacks, as well as pierce through his barrier as though it wasn't there.

## Relationships

### Dietz Aldain

Klaus loved his father Dietz and desired his approval above all else. Dietz however saw him as an embarrassment and a failure until he obtained the formulas he needed, and even after that he was willing to risk his life on an extremely deadly procedure so that he might become more useful to him. The only thing known about his relationship with his mother is that she had been pestering him about having kids, apparently unaware that superhumans are sterile.

### Rina Mori

Not much is known about their relationship except for the fact Rina is his aunt and that she was quite saddened by his death to the point she wanted to make those who killed him suffer.

### Danica Gorman

Klaus viewed Danica as a friend but Danica did not return these feelings and secretly viewed him as nothing more than a potential sugar daddy.

### Oscar Leicht

Klaus viewed Oscar as a friend and Oscar returned these feelings, even when Oscar was dying he thought about him in his dying moments showing that Oscar truly cared about Klaus.

### Alice Alderman

Klaus was at a time friends with Alice and he loved her but when the Aldain betrayal happened his friendship with her ended but his love for her didn't, she of course didn't reciprocate these feelings.

### Michael Carlowe

Klaus was once friends with Michael but when the Aldain betrayal happened this friendship ended.
