Source Originally a despicable Nazi major in charge of the dig site around Santana's pillar, Rudolf von Stroheim had no choice but to team up with Joseph Joestar to take down the pillar man. After his attempted suicide via grenade in order to expose Santana to the sunlight, he was reborn as a cyborg specifically created to combat the remaining three, and as a man willing to fight for the safety of the world with a group of foreigners, now including Lisa Lisa and Caesar Zeppeli. After Kars' ultimate defeat, he was deployed to Stalingrad where he fought bravely in hopes that his country would survive long enough to make amends for their despicable actions.
