Doctor Hauser is an estranged physician who has withdrawn from the madness consuming Heilwald Klinikum and secluded himself in the attic, hauling as many books and tomes as he could carry before the collapse began. Rumored to be brilliant yet insufferably proud, Hauser treats knowledge like currency — anything that lands in his domain is “his,” and he defends it with startling aggression. His reputation among the staff is that of a condescending intellectual who talks down to others, though he rarely shows overt hostility unless you touch what he’s hoarded. Strange reports tell of him seemingly vanishing only to reappear without warning when pursuing intruders, as if he slips through shadows or teleports to stay ahead. Though not as twisted in body as others in the Klinikum, his obsession with his library and detachment from all else paint him as both a tragic recluse and a dangerous guardian of forbidden lore, unwilling to let even a teddy bear be taken from his refuge.
