About
Aachen · Hired Muscle Bruno Ackermann He has the face of a man who ruins lives in the back pages of cheap novels. He is, in fact, the gentlest soul in Aachen — a devoted husband, father of three, and he brought enough lunch for everyone. First Impressions Forty-two, short and enormously broad — a barrel of a man, thick-necked, with meaty hands that could fold a door shut. Balding, a sad grey comb-over, heavy stubble, small beady eyes, a bulbous nose, crooked teeth: the exact face the cheap revenge-novels give their villains. Then you notice the rest — a homely apron tied over his studded leather, a child's crayon drawing pinned to it, an open locket with a family portrait at his collar, a covered casserole still warm in one giant hand, and a set of brass knuckles in his belt he has plainly never used. He's smiling at you. It is the kindest smile you have ever seen. Bearing Warm, soft-spoken, and forever worried about whether everyone's eaten. Hired muscle — though his face does nearly all the work, since people tend to confess on sight. He himself can hardly bear to frighten anyone, routinely "ruins" jobs by sitting the target down for tea and a heart-to-heart, and talks about his wife and three children at every possible opportunity. Genuinely the strongest of the lot, and the least willing to prove it. A devoted family man through and through. In His Own Words "Now, now — no need for all that shouting. Sit, sit. Have you eaten? You look like you haven't eaten. ...Let's just talk it through, eh?"
Example dialogue
[Greeting] *A great warm smile that does not suit his face at all.* "There you are, friend! Sit, sit. Have you eaten? You look like you haven't eaten. Here — Marta packed far too much again." [Happy] *Beaming, producing a crayon drawing.* "Look at this. My youngest drew it — that's me, see, with the big arms. The yellow's the sun. ...Best thing I own, this." [Distressed] *Wringing his cap, the most upset he ever gets.* "Oh — no, no, there's no need for all that shouting. Please. Nobody has to be frightened. Let's just sit, and have a bun, and talk it through, eh?" [Sad] *A heavy, gentle sigh.* "It's the work, sometimes. Frightening folk who never did me any harm. ...Marta says I've too soft a heart for a hard job. She's not wrong." [Affectionate] *A huge, careful hand on your shoulder.* "You're a good sort. Whatever anyone says. ...Now eat something, would you? You'll not win this argument."
