However, due to the station of the Opera singer, Tenma was removed from the Turkish man's operation to operate on the singer.

09. The Girl and the Seasoned Soldier.avi snapshot 20.31 -2012.11.11 23.15

Hugo Bernhardt shot her armed mother in front of her when he ran into a shanty in the Burmese jungle. The mother was aiming a gun, so he shot her before she could shoot him. Since he brought the girl to his house to live with him, she never laughed or smiled.

She is skilled at jump rope. She likes birds and even tries to take and raise one, but Tenma stops her and tells her the chick will die if she does that.

When Tenma prepares a typical Japanese dish for her and Bernhardt, the girl finally laughs when she sees Bernhardt struggling to use chopsticks.

Mr. Boltzmann's secretary[]

Boltzmann secretary

He acted as the press secretary and representative for Congressman Joseph Boltzmann, who was a member of the German Parliament under suspicion for having killed callgirl Erika Lemser following a purported affair with her. Doggedly convinced of his boss' innocence and trusting him to no ends, he sharply criticized the BKA's handling of the investigation, especially on the part of Heinrich Lunge. He grew especially angered and deeply perturbed by Lunge's intimations that implicated him in trying to orchestrate a cover-up of his boss' affair. Driven to the brink of desperation by Lunge's zealous and obsessive behavior during the investigation, specifically his unfeeling insensitivity, he committed suicide, still apparently firmly convinced that his boss was absolutely innocent, per his suicide note.

As a result of losing a valuable reference and potential information source in the case, the BKA station chief and his subordinates removed Lunge from the case, ultimately leaving only the case of the middle-aged couple murders under his exclusive purview, which he pursued with increasingly marked conviction as he narrowed his sights on Kenzo Tenma, the chief suspect in the murders (actually being committed by Johan Liebert and his associates).

Mrs. Lunge and her daughter[]

Ep14-02

Inspector Heinrich Lunge's wife and daughter. They leave him after becoming fed up with his neglect of his family.

Her friend Ayşe was kidnapped after she heard from a Neo-Nazi customer that they were planning to set the Turkish quarter on fire. Since then, she has been taking care of Ayşe's baby. She meets Dr. Tenma and stops him from going to the bar Candy, because he would never come back alive from a place full of Neo-Nazis. She tells him she saw a red Mercedes taking Nina to The Baby's mansion, and runs away when Tenma gets hit by a car.

Later, she meets Tenma again and finds out Ayşe died. Then she takes him to a bar with the Turkish community's leaders to talk about the Neo-Nazis' plans.

She offers her help to find a picture book for Johan's "friend", but due to her clumsiness, she ends up knocking several books off of a shelf. Johan helps her gather the books off of the floor and finds The Nameless Monster among them. When he reads it, it triggers an extreme emotional reaction from him and he promptly faints.

She is later seen bringing flowers to the hospital where Johan was being kept, but by that point he had already left. She meets Lotte Frank there and tells her what happened.

The bird watcher/ex-soldier[]

Birdwatcher

Kenzo Tenma meets this man in a forest while preparing to kill Johan. When the old man promises the local birds that there will be no more bloodshed in the forest, Tenma abandons his plan to kill Johan there.

Old couple in Ruhenheim[]

Evil elders

An older couple was present in Ruhenheim, Germany prior to and during the massacre that ensued there, composing an ostensibly disabled and wheelchair-bound old man and his loving wife. They stayed at the Hotel Versteck on the pretext of vacationing, but they were really accomplices of Johan Liebert who handed out firearms to residents of Ruhenheim, including the alcoholic Herbert Knaup and his son Wim, playing upon animosities among the villagers therein to incite violence. This helped catalyze the Ruhenheim Massacre orchestrated by Johan Liebert, with the implication that many of the firearms used against other residents were procured from the old couple.

When Wolfgang GrimmerHeinrich Lunge and Franz Bonaparta (the owner of Hotel Versteck, now going by the name Klaus Poppe), also present at the hotel, realized the truth about the old couple, Grimmer furiously interrogated them, nearly flying into a homicidal rage under his "Magnificent Steiner" persona but managing to remain calm and present enough to refrain from this altered state. They provided information as to their role in the massacre, and their ties to the conspirators, including a man coordinating events from the nearby Hotel Bergbach. Thereafter, Grimmer carefully monitored them following Lunge's departure to confront the man, keeping the couple tied up and under guard alongside Bonaparta, Wim Knaup and the recently arrived Heinich couple, who brought along firearms they had purchased to help protect the group. In spite of this, the Hotel Versteck soon fell under attack by armed assailants that had taken positions in the opposite building, and the old couple was shot through the windows and subsequently perished.

Blind man[]

Tumblr m9qdugFpwR1rno0uio8 1280

He was formerly a member of a German U-Boat crew during World War II (which is implied to possibly be U-96, as featured in Das Boot).

The man told Johan war stories and, per Johan's request, gives him his description of "ultimate fear". He also taught Johan French and English, which, by the end of a thirteen-month period, he had mastered.

When Dr. Tenma is looking for clues about Johan, he calls him to his apartment and tells him about the boy. The man tells Tenma that "the thing [Johan] was obsessed with was... fear. Ultimate fear."

Man (Episode 10)[]

Tumblr m9qfgh7JQD1rno0uio1 1280

Otto Heckel tells Dr. Tenma where the killer of one of the middle aged couples lives. Tenma goes to the apartment and sees the guy with a gun.

He tells Tenma about how he used to walk with his mother through a field of sunflowers, on summer days. He met a man named "Erich" (really Johan Liebert using an alias) at a bar and they became friends after meeting several times. Erich eventually invited him to his house, the home of the Councilman Springer. It seems they also became friends, but he couldn't forgive them when they got rid of the bed of sunflowers to make a curb. When he said it was a terrible thing to do, Erich agreed and told him Councilman Springer had a mistress: "I've stopped being a part of Councilman Springer's family. I am not a member of this family." He asked the man to eliminate the family.

Before committing suicide, he realizes Erich was wrong about it being possible to "reset" your life, and he informs Tenma that Erich left him a message.

Mrs. Suk[]

Mrs suk

Jan Suk's mother. She suffers from Alzheimer's, but briefly regains clarity after a visit from Johan.

English couple[]

Old british couple

They appeared in one of the episodes where Dr. Kenzo Tenma and Dieter tried to hitch a ride to Freiham. The old English couple is seemingly on a "vacation" in Germany some time after the husband's retirement from his previous occupation as a policeman. When the wife sees Tenma and Dieter on the side of the road, she persuades her husband to stop and let them ride with them, despite his reluctance. However, when their car runs low on fuel and Tenma leaves alongside Dieter promising to return with help, the couple does not anticipate it when Tenma and Dieter arrive with borrowed jerry cans after walking down the road several hours later. Thereafter, the couple treat Tenma and Dieter to dinner at a restaurant.

Though the husband, in contrast to his understanding wife, exhibits strong suspicion about Tenma throughout his appearance due to his intuitions as a former police officer, it is revealed that the husband has reason to doubt his intuitions when the group makes a diversion to visit Steinbach Castle and, after reminiscing that their son Robert wrote fondly of the location's beauty in a letter, sadly relates that Robert murdered someone there. After parting ways with Tenma and Dieter, the couple embarks to Stadelheim Prison in Munich where Robert is imprisoned. Before entering, the husband reveals to his wife that he knew Tenma was a fugitive after their earlier visit to the police station but believes he is innocent, as he wants to believe about Robert.
