His grandparents decided to live on the country, due to the growing population density and air pollution in large cities.
 
Volker's parents tried to visit him on the farm as often as possible, but hadn't always the opportunity to do so.
 
 
 
Volker was always interested in chemistry and physics. With eight years he started to explore pyrotechnics. By mistake he ignites one of his self made rockets in the equipment shed of his grandparents which went up in flames in seconds.
 
Further experiments with rubidium and a pool full of water has caused the destruction of grandpa's tractor and left a small but still notable crater in the middle of the farm.

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.

He grew up at a farm of his grandparents on Planet Stuttgart. In 809 A.S. he applied for a job at the Rheinwehr and becomes accepted. Volker's employment at the Rheinwehr was his chance to a well-paid job with advancement opportunities. He also dreamed of being a commander of a military space ship, just as his father.

When the war between Rheinland and Liberty broke out, Volker and his ship the U-201, fought against the Libertonians. The U-201 became famous for its firepower and survivability during the war.

==Personality==
+
Since the Civil War started, Volker served the Kaiser. His loyalty was seen and the Emperor announced that Volker will be his new Reichskanzler. Additionally Volker was promoted into the nobility of Rheinland and now wears the title Kurfürst zu Baden. He hunts every single member of the opposition and every single person who supports the Nomads. Volker, as a former intelligence Direktor wants to keep his empire clean.
  
- Volker's favorite dish is [[Apfelstrudel]].
+
==Trivia==
  
- 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.
 
  
- 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. Inside of 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.

~ Volker Koch


Volker Koch is a known military fanatic and a specialist in matters of guerilla warfare, with predilection for heavy guns. A true Rheinlander how he lives and breathes.


Background

Direktor Volker Koch is soldier and military scientist at the same time. As specialist for combat ship design and battle tactics, he plays an important role in ongoing military projects and Rheinland's plans in the modernisation of its fleet. He participated already in numerous secret operations. His knowledge about internal BDM processes put him in constant danger to get caught and interrogated by various unlawful organizations. Many criminals would pay large sums to get these informations, what makes Volker to a popular target for terrorists.

There are plenty rumors about him. Some tell the existence of a shadow government led by him, others claim his involvement in Rheinland's major projects with intentions to build hybridized war vessels based on Nomad technology. Nobody knows his true intentions. He is rarely seen in public and always guarded by his agents.

Herr Volker Koch, intelligence officer since 812 A.S., part of the BDM Oberkommando, the former Direktor and responsible for the BDM its departments and processes therein. Volker recently returned from his rehabilitation on planet Baden-Baden.

He grew up at a farm of his grandparents on Planet Stuttgart. In 809 A.S. he applied for a job at the Rheinwehr and becomes accepted. Volker's employment at the Rheinwehr was his chance to a well-paid job with advancement opportunities. He also dreamed of being a commander of a military space ship, just as his father. During his time at the Rheinwehr, he discovered his obsession for weapon engineering. In addition to his basic training, he voluntarily participates on technical courses. Three years later, he finishes his training at the military academy with success - With recommendation as tactical officer.

After his training, he obtains a position as tactical officer on a Rheinwehr Cruiser. He was assigned to a team specialized for reconnaissance missions. Through his strong will, assertiveness and ability to lead teams, he rises up in his career very fast.

By establishing new contacts, Volker receives access to the Büro der Marineintelligenz and a vessel known as U-201 in the year 815 A.S. When the war between Rheinland and Liberty broke out, Volker and his ship the U-201, fought against the Libertonians. The U-201 became famous for its firepower and survivability during the war. With hard work and a lot of paperwork, Volker manages to rise up in his career up to the management level and receives a command position within the BDM.

In the early 820's A.S. Volker stepped down from the Direktoramt, due to heavy health issues. In 826 A.S. Volker was released from Baden-Baden. When he returned home, he saw his house devastated. His bodyguards were either dead or disappeared, just like the rest of the Koch family.

So he contacted an old friend to inform him about the current situation and asked this friend to take him to a safer place.

Since the Civil War started, Volker served the Kaiser. His loyalty was seen and the Emperor announced that Volker will be his new Reichskanzler. Additionally Volker was promoted into the nobility of Rheinland and now wears the title Kurfürst zu Baden. He hunts every single member of the opposition and every single person who supports the Nomads. Volker, as a former intelligence Direktor wants to keep his empire clean.
