Norman Hofmann

Field 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 second-in-command of the Coalition of the Red Star (that makes him the right-hand man of Supreme Leader Victor Nevarez), Norman serves as one of the minor antagonists of the novel.

Hofmann appears very arrogant and restrained. He only seems to care about the Supreme Leader's will being fulfilled, and can get rather high tempered if something goes wrong. He has an addiction for chocolate, as he is seen eating it in various parts of the novel. When his subordinates arrive at his room to tell him that the Coalition invasion force is ready, dozens of emptied chocolate wrappings can be seen on his table. He also appears to have a sadistic nature and seems rather joyful when the Invasion of Earth is about to begin. He's also very irritated whenever his allies disobey his orders.

At the age of 48, he has xanthic eyes, brown hair, and wears a customized black-colored uniform.
