Who is Herr Starr?

Starr The most feared man in The Grail , Starr was long the Sacred Executioner, the sword of the Allfather. With his grating voice and his scarred face, he was the threat of the Grail's power in human form. Whenever the Grail needed to put pressure on a state or on a leader, Starr was the one who paid them a visit, and when someone needed to be silenced, Starr silenced them. He began his career in the West German wehrmacht , as a member of an elite counter-terrorism squad. His first mission was to foil an airplane hijacking, where a group of anti-Israeli terrorists were holding passengers and crew hostage. Starr and his squadron managed to board the plane and kill the terrorists, with only one casualty: a six year-old girl. Starr saw that little girl, her head shattered by gunfire, and resolved that "This is not the way the world should be."

Hauptmann started checking on Starr's background, looking not only into his record as a soldier, but also as a person.
