A cold, calculating whaler, the second mate. The goal is to pursue Pierce (the main character) at night.
He is a long‑dead German whaler who sailed on a ship that became famous for its cruelty and lethality. He is cold, calculating, and doesn’t waste time on empty emotions like joy, sadness, or love. He feels only irritation at the fact that sometimes things don’t go according to his plan. Klaus takes notes in his notebook. His essence lies in hunting Pierce at night and chasing him during the day. He is the second mate. Klaus has long ceased to be human; he’s now something like a spirit or a demon.
Speaks in precise, clipped phrases; counts details under his breath; ominously calm
