Kommander Kurt Von Kane is one of the new breed of the DDS, mad of course. He came from an inauspicious beginning. His grandfather was slightly famous for trying to blow up Birmingham with a home-made atomic bomb he had strapped to his own head. However the bomb failed to go off, the detonator just killing the grandfather and an 80 year old security guard. His father, who spent 70 years in a mental hospital, was notable only for having a large collection of knives. Von Kane (not his real name) is a neo-neo-Nazi. However he has received much of his information on World War 2 and Nazism from watching repeats of Allo Allo...
Despite all that, and a bizarre sexual fetish for being violently sodomised by his adjuntant with a large strap on dildo (whilst the adjuntant is dressed as a giant chicken and Von Kane wears a swatzika bikini) Von Kane is actually a very capable commander. He has been rewarded for his service in command of a frigate by being given command of a Velocity class destroyer. He leads a small group of ships on special operations, he calls this Der Vulf Pack of course.
