| − | | |
| − | ===Career as Cruiser Commander (810 - 820 A.S.)===
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this time Volker became known for his skills as a commanding officer on the [[RNC-Schiller]]. Many things have been changed on this cruiser since he has obtained the command. Many weapon and energy systems were outdated and the ship was not in a good condition. After some time, the old lady were renovated. The hull plating has been reinforced by additional armor plates, old relays were replaced by newer versions, weapons have been updated and a complete new reactor has been installed.
| |
| − | The firepower of this cruiser became notorious after several operations against [[Red Hessians]] and in the year 817 A.S. when the Liberty war began, at the front in [[Hamburg]] against Libertonian intruders.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====The Rodgau Attack (813 A.S.)====
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the year 813 A.S. his grandparents died by an attack on the farm. The entire farm was destroyed by fire. Further investigations showed plasma combustions which could only be triggered by weapons. Since this day, Volker swore to take revenge on those who killed his grandparents. In the same year, a police patrol discovered a hidden base located in the Westnebel in Stuttgart. The whole police squad got fired upon and destroyed by [[LWB]] ships. After the emergency signal of the police patrol reached the RNC-Schiller, Volker ordered his helmsman to take course on their last known position. After arrival, he saw the remains of the police squad and some [[LWB]] ships nearby. Volker ordered to fire immediately. The [[LWB]] were surprised and could not react fast enough. Some of them decided to flee and could escape. But their base don't had luck on this day. After a few minutes the structural integrity failed and many people tried to leave the outpost by rescue capsules. It is believed that the following explosion ripped over 300 persons into death. It is also said that Volker himself fired at the rescue capsules and killed all survivors of the destroyed Rodgau outpost. Volker has never mentioned this incident in his personal reports.

| − | ===Career as Intelligence Officer (Since 820 A.S.)===
| |
| − | | |
| − | By establishing new contacts, Volker receives access to the [[BDM]] and leaves his career as Rheinwehr cruiser commander on his beloved cruiser.

| |

| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==Personality==
| |
| − | | |
| − | - Volker's favorite dish is [[Apfelstrudel]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | - His friends and colleagues describe him as a patient, sympathetic and disciplined person. But his elegant appearance hides his dark side, which he understand to controll perfectly. Many people don't realise the monster behind his masque. His shiny appearance might look good, but the other side of the mirror shows a callous beast... ice cold, without any spark of guilt feelings or grief. It's the fault of his occupational life as BDM agent and events in past, which has changed his personality and forces him to throw away any kind of emotions. Agents with this ability can kill people without batting an eyelash or feel bad. Don't anoy him. Or you will wake his dark side!
| |
| − | | |
| − | - As part of the Büro Oberkommando, he has to take care of many important cases. Stress seems to be normal at his daily work in his office. His two secretaries, "Annika Köhler" and "Sabine Grundman" support him at his paperwork. While Frau Grundman takes care of financial and political matters, Frau Köhler focuses on the recruitment part. Within the Büro it is rumored that Volker has sexual relations with his secretaries. But that is just a silly rumor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - Nothing is known about Volker's freetime activities. He dosn't leave his office often since his wife disappeared. His little daughter "Kathrin Koch" is all what is left of his family.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - Negotiations with him are very difficult, if he can't benefit from its outcome. He pursues his own goals and nobody realy knows or has a slightest idea what goes on in his head.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - All in all an unpredictable and dangerous person full of mysteries.
