Norman Hofmann



"Holy mother of... that's one of Jonathan Marple's best friends and the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Army, Norman Hofmann! He's also one of the two aides to its Supreme Commander. Don't you mean Reginar Albrecht? Well, this guy has gotta pay for this insolence when it comes to... well, y'know, total destruction. That's collateral damage at its finest."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Hofmann

Grand Marshal Norman Hofmann is a new character introduced in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away.

One of Jonathon Marple's best friends and serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Army, Norman serves as one of the two aides-de-camp to Lord Commander Reginar Albrecht, along with Grand Admiral Eilert Salazar; his fellow partner.

Hofmann appears very arrogant and was quite strict. He only seems to care about the Supreme Leader's will being fulfilled, and can get rather high tempered if something goes wrong. He's also very irritated whenever his lackeys disobey his orders or fail an important mission given to them.

Unlike Salazar, Norman was a cold-blooded and narcissistic sociopath who enjoyed wreaking havoc with the destructive Coalition ground forces, but was also an honorable frontline commander who was not opposed to putting himself in harm's way. These traits earned him the respect of the Supreme Leader for his courage under fire.

At the age of 52, he has brown eyes, black hair, and wears a customized black-colored uniform.
