 A German scientist born in 1885 Frankfurt, von Klempt displayed a keenly interest in cybernetics that disturbed his family and other people save his friend Karl Ruprecht Kroenen while attending a Berlin medical school.The two men apparently shared similar ideas as both became members of the Sonnenrad Society, von Klempt using the organization's resources to develop the "Kriegsaffe" (German, "war ape"), a sort of Frankenstein's monster-like simian enforcers.In 1936, von Klempt died in a laboratory explosion that destroyed most of his body, Kroenen managing to keep von Klempt's head alive in a bell jar that was later attached to a robotic body.
