## Biography

### World War II

He told Emily that he had a lot more children prior to the War, but they were presumably killed by the British. *The Nature of War Part 1: Battle of the North Sea* On September 3, 1939, after he was informed that his family were killed by the British, Heinrich was left angered as Adolf Hitler arrived and invited him to a conference in Castle Wolfenstein.

On September 4, he arrived at Castle Wolfenstein, where he was assigned to co-lead HYDRA, the SS Science Division, with Johann Schmidt by Hitler. He was told that HYDRA would be based under his home of Castle Zemo.

On December 1 of that same year, Zemo and Schmidt had developed a Death Ray, which they unleashed upon the Austrian-German town of Zeulniz. When Hitler asked who was responsible for the deaths of innocent German civilians, Zemo had stated that the Allied Forces had slaughtered them.

At some point in early 1940, Baron Zemo was exposed by Jack Fury and the Howling Commandos, and was forced to adopt his purple hood.

On May 26, 1940, he led some German Gas Troopers into attacking Dunkirk. He ordered the Troopers to toss multiple gas cannisters into some homes, He witnessed as the French Super-Soldier Hyperspeed evacuated the homes and proceeded to kill him when he was weakened from the gas. He then engaged in a fight with Union Jack and Captain Midlands.

A week later, he eventually fled and made his way to Berlin, where he took part in leading an Assault on Paris, France. He managed to capture Hyperspeed II and asked to execute him, only to be told by Johann Schmidt to let him attempt to make a stand, and Zemo let Hyperspeed II go. He was threatened by the French Super-Soldier, but rebuffed it. After Hyperspeed II disappeared out of time, Zemo led the assault on Paris, and slaughtered several French Soldiers, before entering a sword duel with King Maximus. After Paris was captured, Baron Zemo had personally executed King Maximus under Hitler's orders.

On March 5, 1943, Baron Zemo unleashed his Death Ray upon Vienna, Austria, only for it to be destroyed by Captain America. He engaged in a fight with the American Super-Soldier and told him that there was no place for him in The New Order.

On June 4, 1944, Baron Zemo attempted to defend his home from Captain America and Bucky. He tried to unleash Adhesive X on his nemesis, only to have the vat broken over him, and was covered in Adhesive X, melting and gluing his hood to his face.

On May 3, 1945 (Close to the end of World War II),he was approached by the Red Skull and spoke of the current condition of the war, before deciding to be cryogenically frozen to avoid capture by the Allied Forces, and headed for Zola's portion of the Laboratory. *Le Siege de Paris: An Avengers' Tale*

### Age of Peace

In 2014, he summoned Constantin von Djangovich and ordered him to train under Baron Kilian Radic. *The American Archer*

### The Bloodshed War

Around the Year 2016, Baron Zemo declared war on the United Kingdom under unknown circumstances.

He then joined EKO Scorpion in attacking a British Military Camp in Austria. He then told Emily Oxton about the loss of his first family, before personally executing her. He then ordered for the Military Camp to be burnt. *The Nature of War Part 1: Battle of the North Sea*

During the Final event of the War, Heinrich was informed by his son of the defeat of the Angelski Teufel. He then ordered for the next wave of Angelski Teufel to attack the Union Fury, and have EKO Scorpion attack the British Air Base in Austria.

After the Union Fury had been captured by Zemo's guards, they were taken to Baron Zemo himself who asked of their business in Castle Zemo. He was pitched the Peace Treaty by Ezekiel-Amadeus Oxton, and after much consideration decided to sign the Peace Treaty, ending the war. *The Nature of War Part 4: Dogfight over Novi Grad*

### The Union Wars

Several months later on February 27, 2023, Baron Zemo addressed the Union Fury attack on Sokovia. He was angered as Mortimer tried to distinguish the United Kingdom's actions on the matter. *On the Verge of War*

On March 1, Baron Zemo was informed by his son of the Masters of Evil's defeat. Later that day, he watched as the Winter Soldier brought Hildegard von Zidlitz to Castle Zemo, and congratulated him. Zemo was then approached by Arnim Zola, before being told that the operation to remove the Adhesive X was going to begin soon. *Calling All Avengers*

Next day on March 2, Heinrich was informed by Agent Dobalina that his daughter had encountered Captain America in Antarctica, and Heinrich ordered for his daughter to be saved. He then spoke to The Red Skull of their plans to unleash HYDRA's power on the world, and informed Zola that Hilde is a descendant of a "Traitor to the Reich". After being informed by Zola, Zemo approached Hilde and informed her of their plans to transfer the Adhesive X from him to her. He then entered a Transference tube and waited for Zola to begin the Procedure. When The Union Fury invaded Zola's Main Lab, Zemo awakened and began attacking Captain Legion. After a brief fight, he was shoved back into the tube and placed in a cyrogenic freeze. Moments later, he was freed by Arnim Zola, as the Winter Soldier brought Zeke and Arthur back to the lab. *Hail, HYDRA!*

On March 3, Baron Zemo was contacted by Reginald Mortimer and spoke to him about Ezekiel-Amadeus Oxton and Arthur Smith. *Fall of Heroes*After Zeke and Arthur had been brainwashed, Baron Zemo welcomed both men to the Winter Soldier Program, before telling Zola that he planned for Vasily Karpov to train the men into Winter Soldiers. He then watched as Karpov trained Zeke and Arthur with the Original Winter Soldier. After both men were trained, Zemo gave them their orders. He ordered Zeke to execute the Black Knight in Budapest, Hungary, and had ordered Arthur to execute Jasper Sitwell in Rijeka, Croatia. Before the men left on their missions, Baron Zemo ordered all three Winter Soldiers to execute 3 members of the Masters of Evil. After 'Blondie' and 'Ghost Soldier' left Castle Zemo, Baron Zemo was approached by Agent Dobalina, who brought back a dying Heike. He ordered Dobalina to place Heike in suspended animation for the meantime. After the pair had accomplished their missions and began to head back to Castle Zemo, Baron Zemo entered Zola's lab and reported his daughter's injuries to him. Zemo ordered Zola to do the best he can, before being reminded of his wife's 'sacrifice' for HYDRA. Baron Zemo was offered to use the Cradle of Kronos to save her, and Zemo argues with Zola about using it, as well as talking about "The Iron Baron" and Adolf Hitler. After Blondie and Ghost Soldier returned to Castle Zemo, Baron Zemo began to chant "Hail, HYDRA" with his fellow HYDRA Operatives, before watching as Karpov was killed by his son, Helmut. *The Winter Soldier Program*Baron Zemo ordered Agent Dobalina to cart away Karpov's body, before telling Mortimer that their plan better be worth the loss of the trainer of the Winter Soldiers. He then went over the plans for Operation: NewEmpire with Reginald Mortimer, before speaking to him about Ezekiel-Amadeus. *Fall of Heroes*

### Rising Movement

On January 3, 2024, Baron Zemo contacted his daughter Heike (Who was in South Korea), and ordered her to prepare for Fafnir's arrival. He was then told that KINGSMAN had attacked the facility, and told her to clean up a bit. *The Great Game Part 2*

2 Days Later on January 5, Baron Zemo was once again contacted by his daughter, Heike. He was then informed that the Factory to build Project: Verheerend's machines was destroyed, and Heinrich ordered his daughter to head to the lair of The Maker in Oslo, Norway. *The Great Game Part 3*

Months later on August 7, Baron Zemo watched as a KINGSMAN Jet left the Novi Grad Airfield, and spoke to Red Skull about why "English Folk" were in Sokovia. *Cat and Mouse*

Several Months Later on February 15, 2025, after Talon's defeat in the United Kingdom, Baron Zemo spoke to The Red Skull about retracting their forces and moving on to Switzerland. He then spoke to his daughter Heike about Sokovia's depleted energy supply, only to order her to have the rioters detained. He then reminisced the beauty of the Sokovian Mountains as he lamented the death of his various family members.

A Day later on February 16, Heinrich had checked up on Arnim Zola's and Dr. Crown's progress on Project: Reborn. He then asked for Zola to revive 4 extra members of the Masters of Evil and for them to be trained to attack Zurich.

Another Day later on February 17, Baron Zemo had ordered Taskmaster to train Antonia Dreykov, who would join them on the attack on Zurich.

Weeks later on March 2, Baron Zemo approached the Masters of Evil and gave them the orders to attack Zurich, Switzerland, only to be met with them Hailing HYDRA. *The Avengers Chapter 1*

On April 4, Baron Zemo awaited for the arrival of Andreas von Strucker and informed him about HYDRA's plan for FENRIS to attack both Germany and Nova Britannia. *Hyperspeed*

## Personality & Appearance

### Appearance

As a young man, Zemo had short blondish-brown hair, fair-skinned, had blue eyes, and a bit of a stubble. Prior to his accident, he wore a Dark green Nazi Uniform Suit, complete with Dark Brown Boots. After he was exposed by The Allied Forces, he was forced to wear a pinkish-purple hood with white eyelines and a golden crown. After the accident, his mask was glued to his face.

After the war ended, he wore his "Ceremony" clothing, which consisted of a purple suit with white leopard fur at the collar, a yellow belt, yellow gloves, and yellow boots.

In present day he still wore his "Ceremonial clothing", but had added a dark blue (or brown) overcoat and a cane with a Dragon on the top of it.

### Personality

Heinrich is a Hard-working, polite, ambitious, usually cautious, intelligient, patient, secretive, ruthless leader of the Nation of Sokovia. He tends to cheat in battle, as he murdered the French hero Hyperspeed as he was 'crippled' from the Tear Gas his soldiers put him through.

He shows to be compassionate when he signed the Peace Treaty between Sokovia and United Kingdom, as he thought that too much death for a silly reason was not worth a war. (Hopefully that was worded right). He is intelligent as shown when he created Adhesive X. He is patient, as after he returned from Suspended Animation, decided to wait till he started a war on the United Kingdom.
