  • Complete Monster: Karl von Gleiser, Sr. is a former Nazi who acquired an inn after fleeing to France. He then started killing his guests and eating their flesh, hanging them on meat hooks while still alive to maintain freshness. Raping any women he captured, Karl Sr. ended up fathering five children who assisted him in his crimes. Karl Sr. took a liking to a young girl whose parents he killed, and made her his sex slave, ordering the infants produced killed when they were born deformed. When a group of bank robbers end up in their hostel, Karl Sr. decides that a female member should become the bride of Karl Jr., cutting the Achilles' tendons of a fellow robber who assisted in her escape. After finally capturing the girl, he used his wedding speech to emotionally abuse all of his kids except for the ones who are particularly competent goons.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Karl Sr. crossed it decades ago when he kidnapped the daughter of couple he killed and made her his Sex Slave.
  • Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The thieves are most definitely assholes, but the Nazi cannibals that they're up against are bloodthirsty and violent beyond reasoning, which makes it really difficult to root for anyone. The sickening Gorn and nihilistic tone really don't help.
