Doctor 'Algernop' Krieger[1] is the head of the ISIS Applied Research Department. He goes by the title of Doctor and performs many activities that require a doctoral degree; however, he admits he is neither a medical doctor nor "the other kind" ("technically"). His "father" was a Nazi scientist (possibly Joseph Mengele) who fled with him to Brazil. Krieger lived here until age 15 when pet Dobermans killed his father, after which he was taken by Malory Archer to ISIS. He is one of the "Boys from Brazil" and may be a genetic duplicate of Adolf Hitler. He was in a relationship with Cheryl Tunt, which he sustained, in part, by giving her doses of LSD via his "magic breath strips."

He speaks fluent English, German, and Portuguese. However, he appears to have little or no exposure to modern street vernacular; for example, he misunderstands the phrase "tight" to mean "confining," rather than "very satisfactory," as intended by the speaker.
