Adolf K. Weismann

is the Silver King, formerly a researcher in Germany who experimented with the effects of the Dresden Slate.

Appearance
Weismann is a tall, youthful-looking man with knee-length, silver hair and gray eyes. His hair is straight and a single lock of it falls to the left side of his face, splitting into two parts.

His attire is formal-themed. Weismann wears an open, long-sleeved dark green trench coat with rolled-up sleeves and four buttons outlining each storm patch on the fronts of the clothing. The buttons and the lining found on the sleeves and storm patches are yellowish green. Underneath his trench coat is a white shirt with a ruffled collar and center front. Weismann wears dark green pants to match with his trench coat and white shoes for his shirt.

Several decades prior, Weismann's hair was shoulder-length and flipped outwards. His bangs were parted to frame both sides of his face. He wore the general uniform of German soldiers with a laboratory coat over it, additionally with a red and black armband over his left arm. Underneath his uniform was a yellow shirt and a green necktie.

Personality
During his years as a researcher, Weismann was very optimistic and encouraging of his experiments, believing that his and his sister's research would bring eventual happiness to the rest of the world. Despite his friendly attitude towards military officers such as Daikaku Kokujyōji, Weismann opposed war and avoided it as much as he possibly can, even escaping from the world in the Himmelreich following what he believed was its end.

He retained his cheerfulness and carefree personality many decades later. However, he has since developed a more callous and even sadistic nature, laughing at the thought that Japan could be brought to ruins and displaying a twisted sense of happiness before kicking Yashiro Isana off of the Himmelreich.

Weismann appears to have a liking for ballroom dancing.

History
While Weismann was conducting research on the Dresden Slate in the titular city, Japanese Lieutenant Daikaku Kokujyōji came to witness their experiments in the final year of World War II. Weismann used an experiment involving albino mice that triggered the effects of the Slate, thus creating potent Aura in the mice, with specific individuals developing their own Sword of Damocles.

When the Lieutenant suggested using such power on humans to create powerful armies, Weismann interjected, believing that the Aura could be used to bring happiness instead. He expressed his thoughts on the matter to his sister Claudia who punished him for being too blatant in the presence of the Lieutenant. However, when the Japanese officer admitted to not understanding most of what they are saying, Weismann and his sister laughed.

One day, Dresden was bombed and left in complete ruins afterwards. With his own Aura shrouding over his body and a Sword of Damocles hovering over his head, Weismann tearfully cradled his dead sister in his arms. As he sobbed for her, he noticed the Lieutenant running over to him and tried to explain what had happened.

In April of the same year, Weismann met with the Lieutenant in open fields. He claimed that the war was over to him and bid farewell before moving forward to board the Himmelreich.

Several years later, during one night, Weismann watched as Yashiro Isana was clinging on to the edge of his blimp with terror. Weismann grinned and mockingly told him "bye" before kicking the young individual off the aircraft completely.

Plot
Weismann has a chat with Daikaku Kokujyōji, who tells him that the country of Japan is coming to an end. In response, Weismann simply laughs.

Later, while aboard the Himmelreich, Weismann dances with a masked woman inside a spacious room. While dancing, images of Yashiro Isana somehow appear on the ground with each step he takes. Adolf soon finishes the dance and the woman stands lifeless beside him. He thinks aloud wondering why it has happened.

He is eventually contacted by the Blue King Reisi Munakata and is requested to land the Himmelreich so that he can negotiate with their forces. However, Weismann ignores the request, forcing them to take up their helicopters so as to confront him directly. As Weismann watches the helicopters fly around the aircraft he comments on how he must celebrate with his "guests", taking the masked woman from his couch and sharing another ballroom dance with her, this time with images of the SCEPTER 4 helicopters appearing from the floor. Once done, he lets her fall to the ground and tells the Blue Clansmen to come closer, laughing wickedly in delight. He eventually readies himself with a button and presses it, causing the Himmelreich to explode and engulf itself in flames. As the aircraft slowly plummets to the ground, it is struck near the left engine by a helicopter under Yashiro Isana's supervision, causing both vehicles to explode in the air, leaving behind a star-like figure in the night. At some point following his detonation, Weismann dies.

By morning, the crisped remains of the Himmelreich have crashed within Shizume City. At some point following Weismann's unscathed corpse is discovered amongst the rubble by Gold Clansmen and he is brought to their headquarters, where he is subsequently placed inside an oval-shaped coffin.
