Like his son Korbinian who will do serious chaos in the Second World War, his father Fritz Luitpoid von Weiderstein was among the chief commander of German Imperial Navy Zeppelins during World War I, the main force operating bombing night raid campaigns from 1915 to 1917. He was killed around April 1917, when flying his last airship raid over France shot down by the American ace pilot Capt. Samuel Robert Kasemeyer. 

Fritz was born in Hanover, Germany, on 16 March 1872. At the age of 15, he joined the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine). This man's ambition for war was so strong it affected some members of his family including that of his own son and his young Russian niece Alexsandra Gorbacheva. Unaware that his own wife was a prostitute, his wife was murdered by his young niece due to her hatred against her own aunt and uncle. Fritz's own son Korbinian hated his father with a passion but he soon was influenced by his father's militaristic ways embracing his own insanity carving him into the man who will be in World War II. 

Following the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Navy airships were confined to anti-submarine, anti-mine and scouting missions, Fritz used a zeppelin for his total war. Among his early mission was near the Pacific to try to commence a night raid on Tokyo along with Professor Ernst von Trapp, but it failed due to the Japanese seizing the Imperial German Colonies. He continued his zeppelin bombing tactics on the European war. 

Among his successful attempts with a zeppelin was bombing the capital city of Moscow weakening the Russian Imperial armies. Another attempt was aiding the Austro-Hungarian armies under Feldmarshall Count Ludolf von Freindamentz by crushing Serbia, progressing the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Serbia. Count von Freindamentz personally saw Fritz as a brilliant warlord. 

By 1915, Fritz turned to the Western Front for his greatest challenges to weaken the two main powers of the Allies, Great Britain and France. On May 1915. the Imperial German Naval Zeppelins commenced a huge air raid on London causing serious damage and death under its commander Fregattenkapitän Peter Strasser.  

By 1917, Bavarian Major Alfred Wolfgang Steiner secretly made an agreement with Fritz to show Herr Oberst Franz Ludwig von Schneider, what war is. Fritz knew Ludwig had a sister living in England married to a British Nobleman, Sir Aaron Williams who was a prisoner of war to Ludwig. What Fritz did was the most heinous attempt that Steiner wanted to punish Ludwig with for being jealous and being friendly to his wife Valerie. Ludwig's sister Angela was killed in the bombing Fritz committed, her death made a huge impact to both the Williams and von Schneider families. 

Fritz was a real brilliant war leader but a very heartless man and shows no compassion to others, his heart painted black as the night shows the origins of what true evil is to come.
