Gerhard von Stantten

Gerhard Vonstatten was a soldier during the American Revolutionary War, in the employ of the British Army.

Gerhard stood out in his appetite for war, and with virtually no personality to speak of, he was an unstoppable killing machine that would carry out his orders without ever considering defeat.

In 2012, his genetic memories were used as an Animi Avatar by Abstergo Industries, in the third stage of training for the recruits in their Animi Training Program, under the title of the Hessian.
