Dr. Horst Kleinmann was responsible for the death of Keith Remsen's parents. Kleinmann sent an assassin to kill Keith Remsen. The bomb killed Keith's parents, paralyzed his sister Teddy, and put him into a coma. After the White Event, Keith emerged with super-powers and became "Nightmask." Dr. Horst Kleinmann became his recurring foe, probably the closest thing he had to an "arch-enemy.
