Krimmet van Zieks

Klint van Zieks is the Barok van Zieks's brother, a symbol of justice and noble chief prosecutor in London. He pursued The Professor Killings, but became the last victim of the incident.

Klint is The Professor. After this first murder, fellow prosecutor Mael Stronghart quickly deduced van Zieks was the culpritHe blackmailed van Zieks into perpetrating murders that would benefit himself, threatening to reveal the truth to Klint’s wife and his younger brother should he refuse.

Unable to bear the thought of his family discovering his deeds, van Zieks complied, and committed three other highly-publicized murders to Stronghart's benefit. One of these murders was that of the then-Chief Justice, van Zieks' former mentor, so that Stronghart could rise to the position of Chief Justice following the vacancy.

Genshin Asogi had worked out on his own that Klint was behind the murders, as he was the only one with the means and motive to commit them. van Zieks was confronted in his home by Asogi, who directly accused him of the murders. Guilt-ridden by his actions, van Zieks willingly confessed.

For the sake of allowing his longtime friend to die honorably, Asogi proposed they duel to the death. Van Zieks accepted on two conditions: that he be allowed to write a last will and testament confessing his crimes, and that Asogi would ensure protection for Klint’s pregnant wife and unborn child. Asogi agreed to his terms, and van Zieks personally confessed to his wife before penning his will.
