Childhood and Youth
He grew up with his four-years younger sister "Kathrin Koch" at the farm of his grandparents on Planet Stuttgart. His parents were busy with their jobs and too far away to take care of him and his sister. His father "Karl-Heinz Koch" was admiral of the Rheinwehr and constantly in use. His mother "Bettina Koch" (born "Zimmerman") was archaeologist at the museum of New Berlin. She was also constantly on expeditions.
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 tank 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.
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.
In the year 799 A.S. his mother disappeared during an expedition in the omicron systems and has never been seen again. As the loss isn't already big enough, a year later, his father died by an attack at the Tau-29 blockade during the Nomad War. The Admiral had the command of the Battleship Schiller and it is revealed that he has become possessed by a Nomad alien.

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.

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.

Personality
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. At meetings you can't really tell if he acts in favor of other parties or pursues his own goals, which makes him unpredictable sometimes. Nobody realy knows or has a slightest idea what goes on in his head.
Nothing is known about his freetime activities. Volker hasn't a wife or a family at all, with whom he could spend his freetime. His little sister "Kathrin Koch" is all what is left of his family.
All in all a dangerous person full of mysteries.
