-''Anton Girbachs was a brilliant student of robotics in Württemberg, Germany, who fled his home nation when the Nazi government tried to force him to work on their [[Himmelhawk]] program. He attempted to reach the Adriatic Sea, but was captured by Russian troops, and spent the next ten years working as a lab assistant, first to the [[Atomik Commissar]] and after that to the [[Inkubatorniks]].
