Fan Casting Reinhard Brandt in Squadron

The Charismatic and Cunning Antagonist. The father of Annelise and the leader of a burgeoning global neo-fascist movement. A master manipulator, public speaker, and strategist. He presents a refined and modern version of fascism, stripping it of its overt symbols but retaining its core ideologies of racial purity and global dominance. He's also a skilled political operator and power broker, having connections in high places who protect him. He believes that Nazism was a noble idea poorly executed. He sees the post-war world as a breeding ground for his new movement and is determined to finish what the Axis powers started. He has a cold, dispassionate view of his own daughter, seeing her not as a person but as a tool who has outlived her usefulness. His ultimate goal is to consolidate power and create a new world order under his control. He is a truly terrifying villain because he is not a raving lunatic but a seemingly reasonable, intelligent, and dangerous man who is completely confident in the righteousness of his evil.
