Rammsteiner, Haine

ハイネ・ラムシュタイナー

Haine Rammsteiner is an albino gunman who underwent genetic manipulation and received implants as a child. He has a collar fused into the back of his neck, known as a spine, and can quickly recover from any degree of injury thanks to the Kerberos experiments conducted by Angelika Einstürzen. She is referred to as his "mother" and considers him her favorite among all the test subjects. Haine is usually emotionally distant and has no qualms about killing large numbers of people. He also possesses another personality that enjoys violence and destruction. He was raised in an underground research facility established to create the ultimate human weapon. Eventually, he killed everyone involved with the Kerberos project in a berserker rage. Because he also killed his younger "sister" Lily, Haine has developed gynophobia, an abnormal fear of women, and will suffer a mental breakdown when in close proximity to a woman. He develops a bond with Nill after discovering she is also a genetic experiment and that he can come into physical contact with her. He carries two guns: a white Mauser C96 pistol connected to his belt by a long chain attached to the base of the grip, and a black Luger P08 pistol. He often uses the chain for close-range combat, choking or restraining opponents with it. In Dogs, the white gun does not have a chain.
The author Shirow Miwa named Haine Rammsteiner after the band Rammstein, stated as one of the author's favorite bands on his personal site.
