Johann Mueller

Sergeant of the Maris Stella's Eisen Marines

Johann is a tall blonde Eisen man with a rather mournful  look and a pronounced limp.  Like his small squad of marines, he has been pensioned off by the Roaring Drachen, the elite guard of Eisenfürst Dieter von Wische, after suffering grave injuries.  Despite these wounds, he remains a fearsome fighter.  He and his squad offered their services to Constanza as marines after she helped rid Siegburg of ghouls in late 1668.  There is a certain rivalry between Volta and Johann, at least on Volta's part, but so far it has remained a 'sporting' one.

What Constanza didn't understand at first is that Johann and his marines are also bodyguards who have sworn to protect her.  They have found this a tricky task, as their charge is constantly getting herself into new trouble.  Johann disapproves of most of the Captain's adventures and wishes she would just stay on the bridge where it's easier to guard her.

Although he used to be captain of the Roaring Drachen, Johann now uses the rank or sergeant because he commands only a squad, though his men usually call him "Captain" ("Hauptmann") anyway.  This is unlikely to cause confusion on board since the Eisen word for a naval captain is "Kapitän".
