Carl Heinrich was born in Germany as the middle child of a cultured wealthy family and suffered from polio at a young age. His mother refused to coddle him, and instead believed that he would overcome polio by being tough while he was being bullied by his classmates for his limp. Though he overcame his disability, the abuse he suffered from caused him to have a ruthless drive and lack of empathy for others. When his classmates spread rumors that his grandmother was Jewish, Heinrich was angered and started to hate the Jewish community, thus leading him to join the Freikorps
After Germany lost the Great War, Heinrich's family lost their wealth, and he joined the army to get recognition and a title for himself. Scheming his way to the top, Heinrich was still ridiculed his colleagues for his cultured mannerism, but he joined the Nazi Party and was recognized by Himmler. Tasked with creating the SS Intelligence Service, Heinrich became known for his brutality and ruthless behavior. He would murder the family of Camille Denis, which resulted in her leading the French resistance and wanting to get revenge on the general. After suffering from a scandal, Heinrich was transferred to Paris where he captured resistance fighters and looked through files on individuals
