Hans Grimm

Hans Grimm was a replacement pilot during the beginning of Ace Combat 5, but later joined the Wardog Tactical Fighter Squad. He is recognized for his nervousness and sense of hope.

Personnel File
Although not an actual member of Wardog for the opening events of the Circum-Pacifc War, and apparently not having finished the replacement pilot training course, Grimm joined the squadron during the First Battle of Sand Island, flying into battle with MIA Capt. Bartlett's spare F-5. Grimm was the youngest and most inexperienced of the team, and seemed reasonably unsure of himself. However he had a strong motivation to help end the war with as few casualties as possible. Over the course of the war, Grimm's piloting skills dramatically improved and "Archer" easily became on par with the rest of the squadron (with the exception of Blaze) and handled his missions without sustaining major damage to his aircraft. He and the rest of War Dog squadron were betrayed and branded as traitors when the war was almost over. Later, his squadron became the Ghosts of Razgriz and later disappeared without a trace when the war end.

Hans' brother is a member of the Osean ground forces (the 1st Airborne Division), and was involved in the landing on Bastok Peninsula (Operation: Footprint)and one operation in the Jilachi Desert (Operation Desert Blitz or Operation Desert Arrow). It is also said that Hans' father Heinrad Grimm fought for Belka during the Belkan War and was an ace for the Belkan Air Force until he was killed by the Demon Lord. His callsign was GrauOrca 2. The "Demon Lord" was the fighter pilot that changed the Belkan War. He was known as "Cipher" and disappeared a few months after the war, with no official records left of him.
