History

History

Amell VonBattenberg was born into a family that still clung to the faded prestige of old German imperial bloodlines. Wealth, influence, and social privilege opened every door before him, and from an early age he was educated in Germany’s finest military and political academies. Brilliant, ambitious, and utterly convinced of his own superiority, Amell did not simply adapt to the rise of the Third Reich—he saw it as the vehicle by which he would one day rise above it.

​

As Nazi power spread across Europe, VonBattenberg entered the SS and ascended rapidly to the rank of Colonel. He proved himself an exceptional wartime strategist, helping shape the fast, crushing military doctrines that stunned Europe in the early years of World War II. His mind moved easily between battlefield operations, political manipulation, covert logistics, and psychological warfare. He was not merely a soldier. He was an architect of conquest.

​

At the height of his influence, VonBattenberg was entrusted with two immense responsibilities. First, he helped direct strategic military planning across multiple branches of the Nazi war machine. Second, he oversaw the seizure, classification, and relocation of stolen cultural treasures taken from conquered nations and persecuted peoples across Europe. These plundered riches were intended for a grand imperial legacy project, but VonBattenberg had already begun imagining a legacy of his own.

​

It was during this period that Colonel VonBattenberg adopted the field identity that would define him: Baron Berlin. Under that name, he gathered advanced weapons research, experimental armor concepts, and handpicked operatives into Nazi Germany’s first true superhuman strike force: Axis Force. Baron Berlin did not merely command the team; he shaped it in his own image—disciplined, feared, theatrical, and fanatically loyal to him above all others.

​

In battle, Baron Berlin found the one opponent he could neither dismiss nor destroy: Captain Invader, leader of the Allied Fighters. Their war became intensely personal. Berlin’s operations repeatedly threatened Allied positions, yet Captain Invader and his team blunted enough of those advances to deny the Baron total victory. In response, Berlin planted a covert source within the Allied Fighters’ support structure,

​

feeding misinformation and tracking their movements. What began as battlefield rivalry hardened into obsession. Captain Invader became the living symbol of the one defiance Baron Berlin could never fully crush.

​

By 1945, as the Third Reich staggered toward collapse, Baron Berlin made his move. He had already concluded that Hitler was no longer fit to rule and began laying plans to seize power for himself. He quietly diverted stolen treasure into hidden caches known only to him and a small circle of loyalists, intending to preserve the wealth that would finance his own future empire. When Hitler confronted him and demanded the treasure be restored, Baron Berlin openly refused.

​

That defiance triggered a brutal reckoning. Baron Berlin, Axis Force, and their support personnel were arrested. Ordered to renounce him and swear loyalty to Hitler, many chose Berlin instead. Thirty were executed immediately. The surviving core of Axis Force was then sealed in experimental cryogenic chambers hidden beneath the Chancellery, to be preserved until Hitler decided their fate. Before they could be released, Berlin fell, Hitler died, records were destroyed, and Axis Force vanished from history. Frozen beneath the ruins of the Reich, Baron Berlin endured while the world moved on without him.

​

In 2017, the failing cryogenic systems finally gave way. Baron Berlin and most of the remaining Axis Force operatives survived the thaw, though several were lost. Emerging into a world transformed by decades of absence, the Baron did not break. He adapted. He studied. He learned. From the shadows of Berlin’s undercity, he and his surviving followers rearmed themselves through carefully orchestrated raids, theft, murder, and recruitment. He did not see the modern world as alien. He saw it as unfinished.

​

His great opportunity came when he discovered Volksjager and the New Reich Army, a violent modern extremist movement attempting to carve out a fascist enclave around Nuremberg. Where others saw a doomed insurgency, Baron Berlin saw a foundation. He descended upon the conflict with surviving Axis Force members, fresh recruits, and modern weaponry, crushing resistance with ruthless efficiency. Even the German super-team known as the Teutonic League was overwhelmed during the decisive clash. In the aftermath, Baron Berlin seized territory, enforced a ceasefire through terror and strategic leverage, and proclaimed the birth of Reichsland—his own city-state regime.

​

Now styling himself as the Kaiser of Reichsland, Baron Berlin rules through propaganda, spectacle, fear, and militarized devotion. To the disaffected, he offers purpose. To the ambitious, he offers advancement. To the world, he offers the threat of catastrophe. Beneath the polished ceremony, black uniforms, and imperial pageantry remains the same man who once sought to outgrow Hitler himself: a narcissistic warlord convinced that history did not end in 1945, but merely paused until he was ready to resume it. And as Captain Invader gathers a new generation of Allied Fighters, Baron Berlin prepares for the war he believes destiny denied him.
