His company bought by the Kreiger weapons firm, he starts a new career as a professional arms dealer. Despite ridicule from his first customer and his "friends", Cosima and Janos, he makes a critically important sale of the newly developed machine gun by stealing the demonstration from a competitor. His career builds and he makes quite a name for himself, eventually becoming the head of Krieger, now the world's only weapons company.Forty years later, Sarek is a bitter, old, and very evil man with far too much power, wealth, and worse yet, respect. The most terrible aspect of World War 1, chemical weapons, have been embraced by Sarek and Krieger sinks its monumental wealth into research and development. The story reaches its horrifying conclusion as Sarek meets to discuss business with the Dictator, Herr Feuerbauch...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Body Horror: Dr. Krok in the Under World. He accidentally came into contact with a single trivially small drop of the new poison he was working on. His body swelled until he resembled a hippopotamus in the shape of a man, with bulging red eyes, his nose having been swallowed by his monstrous face, and no teeth. Had the drop been larger his body would have dissolved into liquid.

Bullet Hole Spelling: An Arms Dealer for the Circonflex machine gun demonstrates his revolutionary new weapon by drawing the letter "K" in a wall with sustained gunfire. The "K" was meant to be the buyer's initial, but his rival Sarek bribes his band to play during his sales pitch and claims it stands for his Kreiger company.
