Johann Schrein was a member of the SS specially commissioned by the Führer himself to supervise prison camps during World War II. His mission was to subdue the most rebellious prisoners as well as obtain as much information as possible from his unfortunate guests. Schrein, nicknamed "Captain Murder" by the Americans, was an extremely sadistic individual, who enjoyed torturing and killing his prisoners. He especially hated those with strong religious feelings and claimed that his only religion was the Nazi cause.
POWERS & WEAPONS
Schrein carried the service luger pistol and although he knew how to use it with precision, he generally relied on his whip, stating that he could kill a man with a single whip. During the course of the conflict, Schrein traded in his traditional whip for an even more dangerous and deadly electric one.
