Died Still Alive

Udo Ackermann was born a farmboy on Planet Stuttgart. The son of Fredrich and Helga Ackermann, who owned a Hops and Barley farm, and were part of a co-op producing beer and spirits. Udo was born into this tradition, from a young age (which had later reprocussions due to developmental side effects from the alcohol).

Much of Udo's early life was spent in a generally happy and normal environment for a Rheinland boy, despite the economic crisis. At the age of six, Udo suffered severe head trauma from hitting his head on an irrigation pipe while driving a tractor. This caused further brain damage which lead to Udo's current state.

The events of the Nomad war of 800 A.S. didn't seem to affect Udo or his family, which also did quite well during the economic recession and turmoil following. However, Udo's family went into financial decline when the government began outsourcing beer production, and Synth Foods began taking control of all types of agriculture.

In 814 A.S. the Brewery Ackermann's family supplied closed down. Synth Foods offered loans and aid plans, which the family begrudgingly accepted. However, Synth's fixed prices, intended to make the environment untenable for independent farmers, ultimately ran the Ackermann estate out of business. Udo and his family moved in with Udo's Great Uncle, a powerful executive in Kruger Minerals. Udo would have to seek out work on New Berlin, with a job as a clerk promised.

However, on his way to New Berlin, the ship Udo was traveling on was hijacked by an unknown force. Udo, being the only survivor, was taken to Darmstalt depot, headquarters of the LWB movement. With all of his belongings, money, and clothing stolen, Udo had little choice to join with the LWB. However, he quickly became friends with the movement, and proved to be a natural as a spokesperson. Quickly becoming beloved despite his official branding as a terrorist.

Udo is infamous for being a womanizer, and cowardly. Usually, he will flee from any type of confrontation, unless his close friends are threatened. In these cases, he has often shown bravery and selflessness to protect his comrades (though this has rarely helped his baleful skills as a pilot).

Udo is also the only person known to have ever escaped Vierlande Prison alive (though several months later, he would die in the process of being arrested again, only to be resurrected through supernatural means).

For the most part, he is considered friendly and fun by the authorities and the public alike. A robin hood-esque individual, who is no threat aside to the virginity of the women of Rheinland.
