Biography

Past

Aside from being born on June 22, 1972, nothing is known about Nils Debruuk but he is a genius level nuclear scientist. However, his license to work as a nuclear scientist was revoked indefinitely when it was uncovered that he was reading very radical anti-government manifestos which meant that his position in the nuclear industry could make him a terror threat. Shortly after though, he disappeared and was presumed dead when he had really gone underground to work for the remnants of Solomon Lane's Syndicate now known as the Apostles who tell him to use three stolen Russian plutonium cores to create dirty bombs.

Mission Impossible: Fallout

After Ethan Hunt is assigned to buy three stolen plutonium cores in Berlin from Eastern European gangsters before the Apostles can but fails to retrieve them after the Apostles capture Luthur, Nils resurfaces. However, he then gets into a car crash (with the other driver later being revealed to be Benji) where he is then taken to a safe-house and placed in a mock hospital room. They interrogate him but he refuses to answer until they have John Lark's manifesto read live on television where he confirms that Lark hired the Apostles in order to find Lane but the agents then reveal everything to have been staged as the newscaster was also a recording of Benji in disguise.

What happened to Nils Debruuk after this is unknown but it is very likely that he later convicted of aiding a terrorist organisation and will spend a very long time in prison.

Trivia

• Nils' last name is spelled "Delbruuk" in the briefing of the first scene of the film, but "Debruuk" in the end credits.
