| ~ Rudol about his cyborg body while against Kars and also his most famous quote. |
Rudol von Stroheim (ルドル・フォン・シュトロハイム Rudoru fon Shutorohaimu) is a major character in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part II: Battle Tendency.
A high-ranking Nazi officer with a proud nature. Despite being an anti-hero and an important ally to Joseph Joestar against the Pillar Men, Stroheim still commits various crimes such as mass murder and human experimentation which qualifies him a villain.
He is voiced by Atsushi Imarouka in Japanese and Dan Woren in English.
Appearance[]
Stroheim is a tall, well-built man of masculine facial features with greenish-blue eyes.
As part of the German military, Stroheim wears a range of official Nazi military attire. Later, he gained cyborg prosthetics, including his entire abdomen, and his torso houses a powerful machine gun.
Personality[]
Stroheim is a callous, cruel, demanding Nazi Major who has the foolish idea to experiment with the Stone Mask in order to further the power of the Waffen-SS. However, he respects bravery, no matter what ethnicity the individual may belong to. This is seen when he spares one Mexican child for being willing to sacrifice himself for his whole village.
