Character

Wolfgang Grimmer

ヴォルフガング・グリマ

Wolfgang Grimmer is the tritagonist to Naoki Urasawa's Monster series. Born in the former East Germany, he was orphaned and was raised in the notorious Kinderheim 511 orphanage. He lost his birth name and was given the name Wolfgang Grimmer by the researchers at Kinderheim 511. His time at Kinderheim 511 was most notable to him in regards to his incapability to comprehend emotions, his appreciation for hot cocoa, and his introduction to the Magnificent Steiner, who helps Grimmer in times of need. He would eventually leave Kinderheim 511 and work as a journalist, which in reality, was a front for him being an East German spy. He would travel across the world spying on other nations, while doing research and humanitarian work on the side. Later on, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he would work as a freelance journalist doing research regarding Kinderheim 511.
