Backstory

Born into a blacksmith family, Jörg Klingemann grew up amidst fire, metal, and the clang of hammers. His early life, however, was marked by dysfunction and neglect, pushing him to flee and survive on the harsh streets alone. There, he quickly realized that survival was not about strength but wit, money, and connections. Among fellow homeless, he learned the value of cunning and adapted fast.

In his childhood, Jörg became fascinated with street magic—not true arcane arts, but sleight of hand, deception, and illusion. This skill became his lifeline. He used it to trick, distract, and survive. While it doesn't define him, it’s ingrained in him—an instinct born of necessity.

Being homeless also left a lasting scar: the inability to form bonds. Jörg rarely speaks beyond what's necessary. He is curt, to the point, and emotionally restrained. His trauma isn’t explosive—it’s quiet. It's the kind that makes a man watchful, cold, and efficient. This detachment fuels his profession: killing. Every contract is a chance to sharpen his skills, and each target is a puzzle to solve in blood and silence.

He fights with a shortsword and dagger, favoring fast, surgical strikes over brute strength. His fighting style is driven by controlled bloodlust—precise and methodical.

Jörg and Lukas von Giessen, his only real companion, met when they were both independently sent to kill the same target. Rather than cross blades, they recognized each other's skill and chose alliance over conflict. What started as mutual respect became a deep and loyal partnership. They share an identical tattoo on their right forearm: “The Night Calls You.” It marks them as part of Nachtruf, a symbol only they and their true contacts understand.

They also carry a custom bronze challenge coin, minted by Jörg himself using his father’s old blacksmithing techniques. The coin bears a dagger and a bow on one side—symbolizing their methods—and their initials (J.K. and L.v.G) on the other. Only those bearing this coin can act in their name.

NACHTRUF

Nachtruf—“The Night’s Call”—is not an organization, but a myth. No one truly knows who they are or how they operate. Some say they are spirits, some believe they are agents of death itself. In truth, they are Jörg Klingemann and Lukas von Giessen, a deadly duo bound by trust, instinct, and precision.

They work as one: one baits, one kills. One draws the eye, the other slips the blade. Their coordination is flawless—like a dance learned over years, practiced in silence. Their bond is so strong that they often act on instinct alone, like footballers setting up the perfect goal.

They leave no warnings. No messages. Only corpses—and sometimes, a missing body part. They collect trophies, usually in the spur of the moment—a finger here, a tooth there. Cold, clinical, and untraceable.

Their right forearms bear matching tattoos: “The Night Calls You,” a symbol of their pact.

Each also carries a bronze challenge coin, made by Jörg. One side shows a dagger and a bow, symbolizing their preferred weapons. The other side shows their initials: J.K. and L.v.G. The coin is used to confirm identity—if someone arrives with the coin, they speak on behalf of Nachtruf. Without it, no message is trusted.

KOLOR

KOLOR is not a guild in the traditional sense. It has no hierarchy, no leaders, and no rules beyond survival. It's an underground pact—a loose alliance of rogues, thieves, and assassins who recognize the value of defense in numbers. It's a shadow NATO—a protective network designed not to govern, but to shield its members from external threats.

Each member acts independently, taking jobs however and whenever they choose. They are assassins-for-hire, thieves-for-hire, saboteurs, spies, and con artists. There’s no ideology, only practicality.

For Jörg and Lukas, KOLOR is both home and shield. It gives them cover, contacts, and access to clients, but never dictates their missions. They operate under its umbrella but live by their own code—Nachtruf is their unit within the chaos.
