Biography
Herman von Klempt was born in 1885, in Frankfurt, Germany. Around ten years old, von Klempt was keenly interested in cybernetics in which he killed the family cat and tried to improve its design by integrating clock parts into its body. His behavior deeply frightened his family in which they were glad to be rid of him when attended medical school in Berlin. At Berlin, von Klempt earned a reputation for his obessive behavior among his peers, and became attached to his colleague Karl Ruprect Kroenen. Although the two men apparently shared similar ideas, von Klempt regarded Kroenen as little more than a resource as his wealth and social connections provided him the economic backing for research von Klempt could never otherwise have performed.
In 1935, von Klempt along with Kroenen were invited by Heinrich Himmler to join the Sonnenrad Society. Shortly after joining the Sonnenrad Society, von Klempt made use of the organization's resources to develop his own projects such as the Kriegaffe project. In 1936, von Klempt was nearly killed in a laboratory explosion in which most of his body was destroyed. His life was saved by Kroenen, who managed to keep von Klempt's head alive in a bell jar. In 1937, Grigori Rasputin recruited several members of the Sonnenrad Society, including Kroenen, as his disciples in Project Ragna Rok. Von Klempt strongly and distastefully refused of joining Rasputin, whom von Klempt viewed him as a fraud and his ideals meaningless.
