Erika Keller became famous for her practical skills in matters of assassination tasks. She proved her reliability after the [[Nomad War]] when she was tasked by the MND with the detection of possible nomad infested persons and their elimination. After she began to focus on MND assets, her doings become questionable soon.
 
Her brutality was feared especially after she eliminated her superior officer inside of the MND after he showed first indications of nomad infection. Many people inside of the Marinenachrichtendienst began to dissociate and encounter her with caution.

'''Erika Keller''' is, or rather was, an highly regarded agent of the [[BDM]]. As former police officer, she joined the agency during the nomad war and fought against the alien threat in Rheinland. Keller is one of few founding members of the [[BDM]] Kommissariat, with crucial knowledge about latest agency internal security concepts and alien countermeasures - An important sector the [[Das Wilde|Wild]] has begun to infiltrate.
  
==Childhood and Youth==
+
Keller is serving as host of an [[Nomad Incubus|alien parasite]], possessed by one of the most dangerous Nomad spirits - [[K'tesh]]. As a part of the Nomad collective, she represents the spearhead of the [[Das Wilde|Wild's]] invisible infiltration forces within Rheinland, that is currently operating amongst the masses, whose numbers are slowly growing. With Keller the Nomads created a "trojan horse", with access to Rheinland's secret service. Their goal: The complete infiltration of the Rheinland government and its authorities.

She grew up in a tough and non-child-friendly environment at a terraforming platform on [[Planet Holstein]] in [[Frankfurt]]. Both of her parents were Daumann employees, worked and lived at such a platform. Life on Holstein was hard, most notably for children but also for small Daumann employees like Erika's parents. Neither had they the opportunity, nor the sufficient credits to leave their place and start a new life somewhere else. It was like a prison. Only rich people like managers or engineers could spend credits on good food and comfortable rooms.
+
==Background==
  
 +
'''Erika Keller''', was born on [[Planet Holstein]] as '''Nina Koch''', daughter of ''Karl-Heinz Koch'' and ''Bettina Koch''. Nina became separated from her biological parents and grew up at a family in a rough environment at a terraforming platform on [[Planet Holstein]]. Both of her adoptive parents were Daumann employees, worked and lived at the platform. Life on Holstein was difficult and '''Nina''' slowly began to develop a hatred towards her adoptive parents, till the day when she attempts to commit suicide on Holstein. With luck she survived the tragic incident, but will never recover from her injuries, mentally as well as physically. A deep scar on her left shoulder and limitation of agility of her left arm is the consequence.
  
 +
However, her injuries did not stop her from studying at the police academy in the year 795 [[A.S.]] '''Nina''' learned to suppress pain, caused by her injured shoulder, and even passed the police combat tests. With the successful graduation of her training at the academy, she finally became assigned to a police department in [[New Berlin]], where '''Nina''' served as police officer for about two years, without the knowledge that her superiors aren't human anymore, at least to begin with. The nomads during this time, were capable to infiltrate the police unhindered, department for department, since nobody was aware of the threat and suitable security measures did not exist during this time. After '''Nina's''' colleague began to observe her, on unfriendly wise, she began to investigate. Soon she attracted the attention of the [[BDM|Büro der Marineintelligenz]] with her investigations. With the start of the [[Nomad War]] in 800 [[A.S.]], '''Nina''' makes use of her contacts at the [[BDM]] and disappeares from one day to another. Meanwhile, the police declared her as public enemy.
  
After Erika became 8 years old, one of her aunts on [[Planet Hamburg]] adopted and took care of her. Erika could finally visit the school on Hamburg and find some friends too. Slowly she began to develop a hatred for her biological parents until she breaks up the contact to them.
+
The [[BDM]] gave '''Nina''' a new life with new identity, and even offered her a job at the agency. From this moment on, she was no longer known as '''Nina Koch''' and accepted a name suggested by the [[BDM|Büro]]... '''"Erika Keller"'''. The [[BDM]] falsified necessary documents, in order to let it look like as if '''Nina Koch''' died by an accident, but the false documents did not stop the nomads to continue the search.
  
 +
Since the [[BDM|Büro]] knew about the nomad threat inside Rheinland, they began to form an entire new department, tasked with the elimination of the infiltrators. '''Erika''' became a valuable member of this division, learned to observe people and identify [[Infectee|Infectees]], as well as to fight them effectively. With the shattering of the Nomad mindshare, [[BDM|Büro]] squadrons used the chance to defeat the remaining Nomad forces in Rheinland with a final assault.
  
 +
At the end of the [[Nomad War]], '''Erika''' decides to settle down on [[Planet New Berlin]] and begins to teach at a [[MND]] academy, in the subjects: Sports, laws, and military tactics, for about 17 years. Two years later, in the year 819 [[A.S.]] she makes the first acquaintance with her brother, [[Volker Koch]], who just became the head of the [[BDM]] agency and offered '''Erika''' a well-paid job at her former department within the agency. She agrees and accepts the offer a while later; a decision that changes her life entirely and later turns out to be a terrible mistake without escape.
  
==Family==
+
'''Erika''' receives access to an "Oder-" class vessel, known as the [[U-177]]. In 820 [[A.S.]] her division made an crucial contribution and breakthroughs in several nomad related research projects, until one day: When the [[U-177]] and its crew went into a trap and became exposed to the Nomads.
Nothing is known about her family. It is even unknown if "Erika Keller" is a real name or just a fake name. Many details of her life have been removed from her files. It is assumed that the Marinenachrichtendienst destroyed any relevant data.
 
  
==Career==
+
The failure of [[BDM|Büro]] equipment has led to what she is today. Her brother feels responsible for '''Erika's''' fate and makes every attempt to conceal her infection, to not threaten her life. He believes to have found a solution to free his sister from the claws of the Nomads without to kill her. In the meantime, '''Erika''' moves through Rheinland unhindered and uses the security gaps within the [[BDM]], in order to obtain access to key figures. Only time can tell, when this will lead to another [[Nomad War]].
  
===Career as Police Officer (798 - 800 A.S.)===
 
After Erika completed her studies in Hamburg, she started to work for the [[Rheinland Federal Police]]. During the [[Nomad War]], many people in Rheinland became infected by nomads, inclusive of some police officers. After some time, a few police departments reached almost incredible infection rates. Erika worked in one of these affected areas for about two years, luckily without to be infected. The nomads where able to infiltrate the half department, since nobody was aware of the threat and suitable security measures, to prevent further infections, did not exist. They began to infiltrate section for section, mainly focused on high ranked officers. What looked like a meeting was in truth a trap with the goal to infect several officers at once.
 
  
Like her colleagues, Erika didn't realised the constantly growing threat in the office, at the beginning. Anything began with Kommissar Hans Steinbach (Erika's former superior officer) who startet to observe his own people inside of his office, on unfriendly wise. But after her desk neighbor also began to behave weird, she started to suspect a conspiracy. Erika began to investigate. Soon she attracted the attention of the Marinenachrichtendienst with her investigations... and Kommissar Steinbach's as well, who wasn't delighted.
 
  
===Career as Intelligence Officer (800 - 819 A.S.)===
+
==Trivia==
[[Image:U-Boat02.png|left|thumb|200px|The MND|U-177 [[Dresden]], 819 A.S.]]
 
[[Image:Erika_Keller2.png|right|thumb|200px|Erika Keller assassinating Polizei Kommissar Hans Steinbach in the dark. Nibelung Polizei Plaza, [[Planet New Berlin]], 803 A.S.]]
 
  
After Erika realized that she was being hunted by her police colleagues, she tries to hide and resist in underground. The Marinenachrichtendienst helped her to get a new identity and offered her a job as agent. Since the MND knew about the nomad threat inside of Rheinland, they began to form teams and perform large scale operations against the threat. Erika became part of such a team after her training.
+
* '''Erika''' fulfills her usual tasks at the [[BDM]] to maintain her cover. She is currently in command of the [[U-177]], an ''U-Korp'' vessel stationed in [[Omega-9]], executing a space-survey operation since 820 [[A.S.]]
  
In the year 803 A.S. she finishes her training on [[Planet New Berlin]] which includes a survival training and several martial arts. She learned to observe people and identify nomads as well as to fight them. Erika underestimated the nomad threat somehow, but her first task should change her views quickly.
+
* Her [[Nomad Incubus|incubus]] has healed '''Erika's''' injured shoulder entirely and "improved" her physiology also. She is less vulnerable towards stress and injuries.
[[Image:U-boat01.png|right|thumb|200px|Contact with an Unterseeflotte vessel shortly before it disappeares inside the Walker nebula. Possibly the U-177. [[Omega-9]], 821 A.S.]]
 
In the same year, she began to focus on Kommissar Hans Steinbach and his police department. She observed Steinbach for weeks, each step from his home to his department, and she knew he wasn't human anymore. But her emotions forced her to hesitate until one day.
 
It was a misty night at the "Nibelung Polizei Plaza" as Kommissar Steinbach came out of the department. This time with a new victim. Erika jumped out of the shrubs and opened the fire on Steinbach, before he could harm the police officer. It was Erika's first encounter with a living nomad and shouldn't be her last one.
 
  
Within 15 years, the MND were able to eliminate the threat almost completely and reduced the infection rates at a minimum. Erika became promoted in the year 816 A.S. and obtained acces to an "Oder-" class vessel, later known as the ''U-177'', which disappeared, together with its crew, three years later.
+
* Since she is rarely being controlled by her [[Nomad Incubus|incubus]] entirely and '''Erika''' obeys the Nomads voluntarily, so is she still able to act humane without to show any symptoms of nomad influence. Therefore she still leaves the impression of being human.
 +
 +
* [[K'tesh]] is giving Erika access to stimulating emotions, as some kind of reward for obedience, what could be the reason for her perfect self-control and the high level of voluntary cooperation towards her parasite.
  
==Personal logbook - Hauptkommissar Keller==
+
* Her [[Nomad Incubus|incubus]] is difficult to detect through conventional scanning technology. Blood tests reveal her dark secret, however.

{{Quote|'''We are hit - 21:03 / 12.20.819'''
+
* By using her charm and authority, '''Erika''' travels through Rheinland unhindered, bypasses security controls without much effort and gives her parasite the chance to spread the infection within higher ranks.
  
"After we chased our contacts through the Von Rohe Belt in Omega-11, where our little trip took a surprising turn, once we jumped to Omega-9. Immediately after we arrived Omega-9, an heavy object collided with the U-177. Maybe an asteroid. Odd is, our scanners couldn't find anything before and the Walker nebula prevents further scans. The resulting coolant leak forced us to shut down the reactors."
+
* Nomads are being worshipped by '''Erika'''. She is a willing servant of the Nomads and feels honored of carrying ''[[Nomad Incubus|the gift]]''.

The collision riped off large engine parts and we are unable to repair the damage since these parts are missing. Our landing bay is also affected which prevents us to start our wraith.

I don't plan to spend more time in here. Many of my crew want to celebrate christmas at home. I've never understood this old tradition. I just don't get it.

"Now we know the reason for Weigel's behavior and a confirmation for Doctor Brandt's theory. Weigel showed indications of nomad infection in the final stage. The Doctor wanted to warn us and paid with his life. Weigel is a potential Security risk, for all of us. The crew is informed and our teams are ready to kill him.
 
 
Weigel is useing the ventilation shafts to move around the decks. It's hard to locate him. With some help of crewman Hoffmann, i was able to modify the internal ship sensors with data from the medical scanner. Now we can monitor his movement. Unfortunately we noticed six further cases of nomad infection on several decks. Some of our team members are also affected. It's out of control."

The whole ship looks like a slaughterhouse. Half of my crew is dead. Many doors of quarters have been broken. At least i could find some rations and medicaments.

"If somebody will read this, i'm probably dead already. I hope so. We had direct contact with nomads. Within a week, more than the half of the crew was affected. I triggered the self-destruction sequence to hinder my infected crew to harm more people. Don't try to search for us. The only thing you will find is dust.
 
 
I will use the rest of my time to write my final report, addressed to the MND Oberkommando, and attach all important data we could collect about the nomads in the past few days. Hopefully someone will receive this logbook and forward it to the Rheinland military.
 
 
I'm glad to had the pleasure to work with the crew of the U-177. It was a good crew. Their families can be proud.
 
 
 
Keller over and out."

- Her colleagues at the MND described her as a heartless, arrogant and dangerous person. She used to not be like that. It was mainly the missions she was assigned to which changed her personality.
 
 
- She never talked about her familiy, youth or her freetime at all. Many people think she tries to hide her dramatic childhood.

Rheinwehr III.png Erika Keller - Rheinwehr Flottenkapitänin

"Amongst all corrupt agents within the agency i'm probably the most loyal one."

~ Erika Keller


Erika Keller is, or rather was, an highly regarded agent of the BDM. As former police officer, she joined the agency during the nomad war and fought against the alien threat in Rheinland. Keller is one of few founding members of the BDM Kommissariat, with crucial knowledge about latest agency internal security concepts and alien countermeasures - An important sector the Wild has begun to infiltrate.

Keller is serving as host of an alien parasite, possessed by one of the most dangerous Nomad spirits - K'tesh. As a part of the Nomad collective, she represents the spearhead of the Wild's invisible infiltration forces within Rheinland, that is currently operating amongst the masses, whose numbers are slowly growing. With Keller the Nomads created a "trojan horse", with access to Rheinland's secret service. Their goal: The complete infiltration of the Rheinland government and its authorities.


Background

Erika Keller, was born on Planet Holstein as Nina Koch, daughter of Karl-Heinz Koch and Bettina Koch. Nina became separated from her biological parents and grew up at a family in a rough environment at a terraforming platform on Planet Holstein. Both of her adoptive parents were Daumann employees, worked and lived at the platform. Life on Holstein was difficult and Nina slowly began to develop a hatred towards her adoptive parents, till the day when she attempts to commit suicide on Holstein. With luck she survived the tragic incident, but will never recover from her injuries, mentally as well as physically. A deep scar on her left shoulder and limitation of agility of her left arm is the consequence.

However, her injuries did not stop her from studying at the police academy in the year 795 A.S. Nina learned to suppress pain, caused by her injured shoulder, and even passed the police combat tests. With the successful graduation of her training at the academy, she finally became assigned to a police department in New Berlin, where Nina served as police officer for about two years, without the knowledge that her superiors aren't human anymore, at least to begin with. The nomads during this time, were capable to infiltrate the police unhindered, department for department, since nobody was aware of the threat and suitable security measures did not exist during this time. After Nina's colleague began to observe her, on unfriendly wise, she began to investigate. Soon she attracted the attention of the Büro der Marineintelligenz with her investigations. With the start of the Nomad War in 800 A.S., Nina makes use of her contacts at the BDM and disappeares from one day to another. Meanwhile, the police declared her as public enemy.

The BDM gave Nina a new life with new identity, and even offered her a job at the agency. From this moment on, she was no longer known as Nina Koch and accepted a name suggested by the Büro... "Erika Keller". The BDM falsified necessary documents, in order to let it look like as if Nina Koch died by an accident, but the false documents did not stop the nomads to continue the search.

Since the Büro knew about the nomad threat inside Rheinland, they began to form an entire new department, tasked with the elimination of the infiltrators. Erika became a valuable member of this division, learned to observe people and identify Infectees, as well as to fight them effectively. With the shattering of the Nomad mindshare, Büro squadrons used the chance to defeat the remaining Nomad forces in Rheinland with a final assault.

At the end of the Nomad War, Erika decides to settle down on Planet New Berlin and begins to teach at a MND academy, in the subjects: Sports, laws, and military tactics, for about 17 years. Two years later, in the year 819 A.S. she makes the first acquaintance with her brother, Volker Koch, who just became the head of the BDM agency and offered Erika a well-paid job at her former department within the agency. She agrees and accepts the offer a while later; a decision that changes her life entirely and later turns out to be a terrible mistake without escape.

Erika receives access to an "Oder-" class vessel, known as the U-177. In 820 A.S. her division made an crucial contribution and breakthroughs in several nomad related research projects, until one day: When the U-177 and its crew went into a trap and became exposed to the Nomads.

The failure of Büro equipment has led to what she is today. Her brother feels responsible for Erika's fate and makes every attempt to conceal her infection, to not threaten her life. He believes to have found a solution to free his sister from the claws of the Nomads without to kill her. In the meantime, Erika moves through Rheinland unhindered and uses the security gaps within the BDM, in order to obtain access to key figures. Only time can tell, when this will lead to another Nomad War.


Trivia

  • Erika fulfills her usual tasks at the BDM to maintain her cover. She is currently in command of the U-177, an U-Korp vessel stationed in Omega-9, executing a space-survey operation since 820 A.S.
  • Her incubus has healed Erika's injured shoulder entirely and "improved" her physiology also. She is less vulnerable towards stress and injuries.
  • Since she is rarely being controlled by her incubus entirely and Erika obeys the Nomads voluntarily, so is she still able to act humane without to show any symptoms of nomad influence. Therefore she still leaves the impression of being human.
  • K'tesh is giving Erika access to stimulating emotions, as some kind of reward for obedience, what could be the reason for her perfect self-control and the high level of voluntary cooperation towards her parasite.
  • Her incubus is difficult to detect through conventional scanning technology. Blood tests reveal her dark secret, however.
  • By using her charm and authority, Erika travels through Rheinland unhindered, bypasses security controls without much effort and gives her parasite the chance to spread the infection within higher ranks.
  • Nomads are being worshipped by Erika. She is a willing servant of the Nomads and feels honored of carrying the gift.
