| “ | Ulrich Vogel, Director of Projekt Endstation. 19th of March, 1944. Dr. Kurtz and I continue our study of the man so grotesquely transformed by the Cyclotron incident. We have confirmed an exotic element contaminated their bodies, necrotizing the flesh and shutting down essential metabolic functions while somehow maintaining a semblance of life in them. Our hope is to modify a radiation scrubber and heal the poor wretches, but they will not be willing patients. So we will need a chamber of sorts, This may take some time. | „ |

Biography[]
World War II[]
Not much is known about Vogel's early life, only that he was married to a woman named Maria, With whom he fathered a child named Angelika Hannabelle Vogel. However for Vogel, Maria died due to complications with childbirth. At some point, he began working under the Uranveiren during the reign of the NSDAP. In the summer of 1943, Kurt Diebner, the head of the Uranvieren, approved the creation of a particle accelerator named the Cyclotron created by Vogel and Dr. Lukas Kurtz. This resulted in the formation of Projekt Endstation, which itself and led by Vogel. Projekt Endstation would set up shop in Morsako in Nazi occupied Poland. During World War II, Ulrich Vogel and Lukas Kurtz performed the test of The Cyclotron that located and opened up the Dark Aether by unleashing zombies and creatures.
Vogel and Kurtz studied the fallen soldiers to find a way to reverse the conditioned ordered by Adolf Hitler and the German High Command, Vogel and Kurtz created the Exo-Element-1 known as Aetherium and worked on a decontamination chamber designed to reverse the condition of the fallen soldiers and restore the brain activity. Die Wahrheit Leader Wolfram Von List ordered Vogel and Kurtz to create a wonder weapon called the Wunderwaffe DG-2 using the calculations from Dr. Oskar Strauss. With the loss of Normandy, Vogel and Kurtz were tasked to weaponize all of their findings and continued to work of an army of soldiers who could rise up after being killed. Vogel and Kurtz created another wonder weapon called Decompressive Isotopic Estrangement Machine from the Exo-Element 1 collector. In late 1944, a new Projekt Endstation facility is underneath Berlin including a tunnel made to open and a portal to The Dark Aether. Later on, Vogel and Kurtz developed lures and an Exo-Element 1 harvester which could only collect essence from Tempests. Vogel developed a conversion machine using specimens rich in Exo-Element 1 which would allow them to open a portal to The Dark Aether. As the war neared it's end, so too was the defeat of the Axis all but certain. Seeing the downfall of The Reich, Vogel proposed a plan to send an army into The Dark Aether, only to be brought back at a later time and the plan was approved and dubbed Operation Baldr after the Norse God who rose from the dead.
A month passed before Task Force Baldr arrived to Morsako under the command of Gruppenführer Müller. Vogel sent instructions to Berlin on how to open a portal to The Dark Aether and later on, ordered all personnel to evacuate Projekt Endstation. Vogel tasked Kurtz with taking care of his daughter while he stayed behind. When Task Force Baldr entered The Dark Aether, the crossing proved to be too much for The Cyclotron as many of its seals exploded, resulting in a further contamination of Exo-Element 1 at the facility. Vogel stayed behind, monitoring the Task Force for two days to ensure their safe arrival. Unbeknownst to Vogel, Task Force Baldr would become corrupted by the Dark Aether, becoming pawns of much darker forces.
Legacy[]
At some point after Task Force Baldr's arrival into The Dark Aether, they came under the command of the ruler of the malicious realm, The Forsaken. The mutated entity managed to learn of Vogel's existence, soon appearing to Vogel's daughter under the guise of Ulrich to manipulate her into doing his bidding. While the fate of Vogel remains unknown, he would be remembered by Requiem and Omega Group through his work at Projekt Endstation, which helped kick off a new arm's race between the United States of America and the Soviet Union. Ultimately, his vision of a renewed Reich would never come to fruition, as both his daughter and the corrupted Task Force Baldr would be defeated during their incursion into Berlin. A spectral reflection of him would also be seen by Requiem at Morasako during Operation Cerberus. The Forsaken would mention him in a message to Requiem Strike Team, implying to them that the real Ulrich Vogel was dead.
Quotes[]
| “ | Vogel. 16th of March, 1944. We have finally isolated an unknown element in the men who were transformed by the cyclotron accident. And even at this early stage, It is clearly a remarkable substance. For now, we have classified it as "Exo-Element One." Kurtz suggested "Vogelium." *tsk* Such an ass-kisser. The current theory is that, at sufficient concentrations, Exo-Element One triggers the horrific transformations experienced by the man closed to the cyclotron rift. I am currently designing a chamber to withdraw Exo-Element One from the occupant. My hope is to somehow purify the men and reverse their necrotic condition. If we can learn to control the necrotization procress, I believe it would be weaponized. Imagine: an army of unlikable soldiers. Even at this late point in the war, I may have found the key to saving the Reich. | „ |
