Dr. Karl Kruger
Background
Dr. Karl Kruger is an East German research scientist.
During the events of Airwolf: Season 2 Episode 7 Fallen Angel played by John Ericson
In Magdenburg, East Germany, Michael Coldsmith Briggs III, Archangel is standing outside leaning on a castle pillar. Dr. Kruger walks up to him and invites him to eat breakfast with him. Archangel is surprised to see Kruger, as he thought he was dead. Archangel asks about Maria Von Furster and Kruger tells him Maria had nothing to do with his capture. Archangel asks Kruger what is the purpose of him still being alive as anything he knows pertaining to the FIRM would be obsolete. Kruger starts to ask Archangel to work with him when Archangel starts to laugh. Vladimir Kinskov walks into the area and asks what is so funny and then criticizes Kruger for Archangel's treatment. Olga gets a vial of the drug Titum 1221 and Kruger tells her to give Archangel 50cc's more of the drug. Archangel starts to shake and when Olga pauses, Kruger orders her again to give Archangel 50. Stringfellow Hawke and Maria rescue and help Archangel get in Airwolf, but Maria is shot by Kruger. Airwolf then flies off. Kruger walks over to Maria and as she opens her eyes, Vladimir congratulates Kruger and tells him everything has gone as planned. Kruger then tells Vladimir in 24 hours, Archangel will assassinate Zeus and the entire committee. Kruger and Vladimir are skeet shooting at the castle while Maria watches. Vladimir asks Maria if she is worried what might happen to Archangel and Kruger tells him to leave her alone. Maria assures Kruger that she loves him and they kiss. Airwolf appears and starts firing and Kruger realizes it is just a diversion. Kruger runs back to the lab area and sees Archangel taking the Titum 1221 drug vials. Archangel then tells Kruger that Hawke figured out their plan and put blanks in his gun. Hawke starts to walk into the room with the drug notes and when Kruger points a gun at him, Archangel shoots and kills Kruger.
