Kaiser

Kaiser is a main character and one of three central protagonists of The Band of Stepbrothers.

Kaiser is a Half-Orc male Barbarian soldier, when in fact he possesses the consciousness of a human male of the same name, transported from Earth to the world of Althus. Tasked by a Mysterious Entity, and along with his friends Lilyblade and Gomez, he is on a quest to find the six Infinite Gems and help maintain peace and harmony in the universe.

Althian History
Next to nothing is known of Kaiser in the world of Althus, as the body his consciousness is implanted in is brand new, apparently created by the Mysterious Entity for the express purpose of finding the Infinite Gems.

Arrival on Althus
One early fall Sunday, on Earth, the human known as Kaiser was watching a football game on television with his wife when he is blinded by a searing white light, and after a few moments, finds himself in darkness and in free fall, coming to rest on a cold dungeon floor. To his absolute, utter shock, he comes to realize that his physical appearance has changed into that of a dark-skinned being who is not entirely human. He also realizes that he is not alone; two other beings, an elven male and female, have joined him, and after a brief conversation, he learns that they are Lilyblade and Gomez, respectively, all friends from Earth. After a quick ribbing of Gomez in his new, female appearance, the three discover some equipment in a nearby chest, and decide to arm themselves in an effort to escape their current captivity and ascertain their immediate situation.

Kaiser fights bravely initially against several monstrosities, including large rats, zombies, and a giant spider, but also shows some unfamiliarity with the battleaxe he arms himself with. He discovers several abilities that come with his new appearance, including the ability to channel his anger into a controlled rage, allowing him to fight more aggressively and shrug off pain.

As the three continue through the dungeon, using their respective new talents and innate human experience to help decipher a puzzle and detect some traps, the three find and meet up with Petyr and Ojuck Everseed, who convince the three to help them escape.
