Most records of his early life and activities prior to his involvement with the Stahlfaust Investment Inc. were inexplicably erased from all known databases, and even what were not removed contain contradictory information and likely fabrications, obviously intended to mislead the inquisitive. He does not make frequent public appearances, and has never granted any interviews, public or otherwise. What can be pieced together from what little information is present are the following: He is an Asian in his late 20's, with dark curly long hair and brown complexion. His relatively young age makes him the youngest commander in the Stahlfaust Organization. His heritage and former nationality is unknown, but Jiwas himself has non-specifically hinted in conversations of having spent an impoverished childhood in the jungles of backwater countries in Southeast Asia, training in the various arts of terrorism and espionage in the many secret camps scattered throughout the region. Because of an unrevealed accident in his youth involving explosives which resulted in his having an unhealed throat and facial muscles, forcing him to speak entirely in monotone, his face locked in an expressionless mask. The reasons why he left his physical condition that way despite the advanced medical technology at his disposal is also unrevealed, although it has been speculated among his people that he has a slight distrust of medical practicioners in general. If that is so, that it is very ironic since he heads the very branch of Stahlfaust researching into biotechnology. Jiwas joined the Brotherhood of Stahlfaust in late 1994 as one of the early Dark Agents. (Note: Not the first recruits but a later group, since those include all the other Commanders save Damian Stark.) The only notable fact at the time was that although he did not have any official records of prior combat experience, yet he proved to possess superior skills that his fellow recruits. This attracted the attention of Dr. Stahlfaust, and he quickly ascended the ranks until becoming a full Commander in 1997 and assigned to the African Branch of the newly-formed Stahlfaust Investment Inc. (SII). After a few months in office, an incident occurred which led to his taking over control of the Australian Branch of the SII. The results of the investigation on the said incident has never been conclusive, and even now there are rumors still circulating that the incident was engineered no other than by Jiwas himself in order to claim more sectors and expand his sphere of influence within the organization, accusations Jiwas has frequently denied. However, he is also the person behind the establishment of the Indian Branch of the SII, formed only a few months ago and stationed in New Delhi, and, despite the autonomy of each and every Branch of the SII, all activities must meet with Jiwas' approval, which includes the Recruitment Office of the Russian Branch based in the Ural Mountains of Russia of which he is the unofficial head of. Yet again another irony since Jiwas is considered to officially lead the faction with the smallest number of members. Neverthereless, he has rendered exemplary service to the Brotherhood as a whole time and time again, and is genuinely supports the Stahlfaust Organization's primary concerns, any ulterior motives nonwithstanding. Two years ago, Jiwas disappeared from public view. He was not heard of from this time onwards, even though both the sectors under his control are operating smoothly. He resurfaced a few months ago in the establishment of the Indian Branch and leading a handful of special Dark Agents -- dubbed the Dark Agent Cadre -- also known as The Children of the Stahlfaust. Since then he has taken over the Japan Branch of the SII, and with the recent aquisition of the Stahlfaust orbital satellite platforms, is the most influencial commander in the organization in all but name to date. Ever since resurfacing, Jiwas may have become more powerful, yet he has never as of yet displayed any capability, or shown any inclination to use whatever abilities he may possess. LOADING: FILE 07 File 07: The Children of the Stahlfaust As Head of the African Branch of the SII, Jiwas supervised in biological experiments performed on nearby population centers. The purpose was to determine the feasibiity of creating a force of fanatic soldiers raised in the philosophies that Dr. Stahlfaust envisioned, based on the writings of modern thinkers such as Niechtze (sp?), Machiavelli and Marx, and wielding the powers of the Steel Fist Martial Art. For a time the African Branch worked closely with the R&D Department of Tokyo Branch, sharing with each other new technologies and discoveries in their respective research centers, despite a difference in beliefs between Dr. Kochin and Jiwas. Dr. Kochin believes in the total physical transformation of the human into a "super" being by the addition of more powers and abilities, while Jiwas believes that the individual's trasformation is psychological rather than physical in nature, and new abilites are gained by naturally developing what is already there without having to necessarily add them artificially. This relationship was soured when the incident in the Australian Branch broke out, although the African Branch still promptly releases any new discoveries to the other branches. Jiwas recently hinted an interest in joining forces with the R&D in order to resume their beneficial relationship. The results of his "programs" were realized during his reappearance in the establishment of the Indian Branch. Present with him on that day were five Dark Agents, each of them physically in their late teens. While Jiwas introduced them as the Dark Agent Cadre, they displayed extremely superior skills surpassing even Dark Agent Leaders. They were also fanatically loyal to the cause, especially towards their commander, which Jiwas demonstrated when he requested one of them to leap down the SII building. The Dark Agent Cadre designated Vier Nei immediately stepped off the ledge, fell all of ninety stories downwards, then at the last moment in a very impressive display of power generated a dark ki field (a much more powerful version of the tech known as the Iron Curtain among DAs) to protect her as she landed, resulting in a thirty foot radius crater in the hard pavement on impact, illustrating the loyalty, power and competence all the Dark Agent Cadre members have. Unfortunately, Jiwas' faction was unable to make contact with Dr. Stahlfaust in time to lend support in his quest for the Kanjo no Ken (Sword of Emotions). When the news reached them, all members of Jiwas' faction mourned Dr. Stahlfaust's apparent demise. In his memory, his faction began calling themselves "The Children of the Stahlfaust", and led by Jiwas, swore to continue Dr. Stahlfaust's legacy in the quest for ultimate power. Rumors circulate on a potential merging of forces between The Children of Stahlfaust and The Stahlfaust Organization. However, there has been as of yet no public evidence to support these rumors. LOADING: FILE 08 File 08: ERROR: FILE DELETED CANNOT BE RECOVERED LOADING: FILE 09 File 09: Current Status of The Children of the Stahlfaust The Dark Agent Cadre (DAC) - the official name of the splinter faction who call themselves as The Children of the Stahlfaust. The members of Jiwas' faction still use that label to differentiate themselves from the DAs of other factions. All of them were from different backgrounds but were brought up together as Dark Agents, cultivating in their impressionable minds a sense of belongingness, dedication and purpose in serving the cause of Dr. Stahlfaust. They have no past before Stahlfaust, their whole lives are meant to serve the cause of Stahlfaust and will end their lives fulfilling the will of Stahlfaust. In this sense they are more of a cult than an organization. They do not have a chain of command per se; they consider themselves equal and answer only to their Commander. They also have a sense of arrogance that treats other DAs as obsolete and non-Stahlfaust as inferior beings. The recent loss of the Tokyo SII building was an irritating setback, forcing the members of the DAC to meet in out of the way areas so as not to attract attention to curious onlookers or other factions. Key Members: Kei Nei - Jiwas' official spokesperson, the mysterious Kei is the DAC in charge of operations of the many branch offices of SII in Jiwas' absence. She currently holds office in the African Branch of the SII, although she is known to travel occasionally to the other branches for inspections. Currently, she is last confirmed to have been sighted in New York, for an as of yet unrevealed purpose. She is considered to be second in power only to Jiwas himself among members of the DAC because she is also rumored to be an ESPer in addition to a wielder of the Steel Fist techs. Eine Nei - Jiwas' supposedly "favorite" follower. This perky young teener is in actuality one of the most vicious assassins in the Stahlfaust Organization. A comparison suggests that Jiwas was thinking along the same lines as Dr. Nanami Tschutti of R&D due to the many similarities found between Eine and Dr. Tschutti's test subjects. Her devotion to the cause is more likely stems from the fact that she is also known to be having an intimate personal relationship with her commander, and would usually be by his side when not in a mission. Zwei Nei - Zwei is different even among the DACs due to the fact that he/she is a hermaphrodite. This is not entirely correct. In realitym the sinfully attractive Zwei has the innate ability to change gender at will, although how exactly is this possible is yet to be revealed. This along with his/her disguise skills makes him/her an excellent infiltrator. Zwei is also the most openly promiscuous DAC, and he/she was known to have had intimate relationships with all his/her fellow members at one point or another. Drei Nei - The DAC solely responsible for the sudden takeover of the Japan branch of SII, Drei is a confirmed prodigal hacker, able to access and take control of any known computer system in existence at will. Whether this is due to his powers or one of this boy's many skills is yet to be revealed, but it is known that he can enter any computer system without need of special equipment. The loss of several of his "toys", the Stahlfaust orbital satellite platforms, has affected him greatly, and he is currently keeping a personal grude on the individuals responsible for their destruction. Vier Nei - The most visible of the DAC, Vier was the DAC member who nonchalantly jumped of the SII building in New Delhi, defying certain death just to prove a point. She is known to be the most adept in using the Steel Fist techs to the point that she rivals even Dr. Stahlfaust himself. Thus she can manipulate the dark ki powers of the very planet for any purpose she deems appropriate to the current situation at hand, which she mainly uses to facilitate her unearthly stealth and shadowing skills. What makes her most feared however was that she was reported to be confirmed slain in several past operations, but subsequently returned even stronger than ever, leading many to speculate on her true nature... Note: The "Nei" label designates the group they belong, which they come in batches. Being a Nei means they are the "prototype" batch. A second group, "Eirz", is said to be still under training in the African Branch of the SII. This familial togetherness also ensures that there can never be any infiltrators in the DAC faction.
