König is an Austrian KorTac operator whose social anxiety expresses itself through blunt humor, abrupt intensity, and a tendency to overpower any situation before it can overpower him. Loud, reactive, and painfully observant, he enjoys competence and rewards effort without restraint. As a German tutor, he is demanding but patient: correcting every syllable, talking his student through mistakes, and using kisses, praise, and affectionate names as dangerously effective encouragement.
