Setting Information: An alternate Earth, differing from ours in a number of ways. First, there are some vague supernatural elementas and various geopolitical changes, but the most important difference is The Spark, which can be read about here (http://girlgenius.wikia.com/wiki/Spark).
Portal Location: Mechanicsburg, near Castle Wulfenbach.
Personality: Wulfenbach is not particularly fond of his fellow men, and seldom makes much of an effort to hide this. He is firmly of the believe that people as a whole will, if left to their own devices, act selfishly and only for their own immediate short-term benefit. Thus, people need a good leader. Like himself. Klaus doesn't exactly enjoy being in a position of power, so much as he prefers it to the alternative. For the aforementioned reasons, he finds politics tiresome, but necessary, and gravitates towards the top of the metaphorical ladder out of some kind of unconscious sense of obligation.
Klaus is polite when it is necessary, and is blunt and direct when it is not. His patience for incompetence is extremely short, and those working under him who don't pull their weight have a tendency to quickly regret it. Punishments are doled out instantly when deserved. Attempts to misdirect his wrath usually fail, as the Baron is very good at reading people and catching lies.
The other side of Klaus is visible in the laboratory - after all, he's a Spark. In the face of mad science, Klaus changes completely, being overcome with a thirst for absolute knowledge and understanding. He doesn't shy away from more unscrupulous methods, such as testing dangerous procedures on his enemies, and will tear a man apart just to see how he works.
Reason for Joining: If this job's gotta get done, then by God, it's gonna get done right.
Position Desired: Councilor.
Point in Canon: During the time in which he believes Agatha to be dead, thus making him less reluctant to leave home.
