VALKYRIA CHRONICLES 4: Squad Stories (NEW EPISODE: "A Chivalrous Heart") - 1F
Crash Star for Keigel Hohmann
Male. Early 60s (but sounds middle-aged). The emotional tolls of war, especially after the loss of Squad F, are getting to him. Heavy with the regret of his son dying in combat, Keigel bears the lion's share of responsibility in making sure his younger squadmates make it through the conflict alive. A bit rough around the edges at first, but a giant teddy bear beneath the gruff exterior. As one the elders in Squad F, Keigel sees himself as the “team dad” – and his scores of new “sons” appreciate his support and bravery.
Voice type: Low/medium-low. A father figure to the young recruits desperately trying to remain optimistic.
“Hm... Well, guess so. Gettin' on in years and there's no denyin' that. Still, after what happened to Squad F, I think a sigh is the least I owe 'em. I've done my time. If anyone should be gone, it should've been me...”
“You talk like that, you're gonna hurt someone. Listen, it's that kind of attitude that—”
“Y' know... my son went off to war a long time ago. They told me he died servin' his country. I see his face every time I look at one of these new, young recruits. Here, or in Squad F.”
I'm REALLY digging how Keigel sounds - not too old, dynamic and still has some vim and vinegar left in him... but with a slight hint of sadness and melancholy.
Thanks, I really liked this side story
