I threw myself to the wolves, only to learn the tenderness in their howl, and the loyalty in their blood.

In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.

- Growing Up: What? Were you raised by wolves?
- Mikkel's GoF Pack aka family
General:
Born in Munich, Germany where her mother was a citizen (her father is a US citizen, hence her dual citizenship), Liesl grew up spending 4-6 months at a time at elite boarding schools, quickly moving through the grades, completing multiple years at a time and eventually graduating high school with AP college credit at age 16. On her month-long breaks from boarding school, all her friends knew was that she spent the time with her family (father and relatives; she reported that her mother had passed away soon after she was born) somewhere in rural New York. From there she attended Columbia University via full scholarship (NY) where she completed degree in political science along with an MBA graduating magna cum laude at age 20. She interned at an established law firm and volunteered on a mayoral campaign, followed by a gubernatorial campaign. This was successful enough that she landed a job by age 22 at a prestigious lobbying corporation in NYC and began in earnest to learn the ins and outs of being a 'Fixer' for the junior senator's re-election campaign. It didn't take her long to break through the glass ceiling, quickly learning how to leverage favors and work in ways both above board and far below what would be considered ethical to attain a reputation of ruthless success. The more she networked, the more favors were earned and used. Her future, not only in NY looked bright, but she was quickly becoming a commodity groomed for the national political stage.

- Politics ..As of the start of April, Liesl will officially have joined the Ernst Corporation as a political lobbyist. She's come to Detroit from NYC; those in political circles may have heard of her quick rise to success. A good comparison would be Remy Danton from 'House of Cards. She will immediately begin cultivating allies and clients. In addition to politics, she has a background in law and finance.
- Police ..Those in the DPD who know (Captain Al Marks (Kurt Wallander - Branagh) may know that he and Liesl are acquainted and semi-regularly meet. Whether it is an affair (Captain Marks is married), mutually beneficial collaboration between the world of the law and politics, or something else is left to conjecture.
- Investigation ..For those in the know, word is that not only does Liesl know how to make connections and dig up information that very few should be able to have access to, but she collaborates -- covertly -- with a local, grizzled but exception PI named Grayson Smith. (Jason Isaacs])
- Running ..Like to run? Liesl does. It's not unusual for her to run 8-10 miles as frequently as she can find the time. She's not muscular or a work-out fiend. But there's sure to be some stamina there. Can you keep up?
- High Society Events ..(See Politics & Fixer) Because of her work as a Lobbyist (and Fixer of certain sorts), Liesl Kruger runs in high society circles, most of which are somehow connected to local and state politics. Fundraisers for causes, for political funds, galas, she's often there and fits in quite well.
- The Great Outdoors ..This is a discrepant part of Liesl's life for those who know the political-maneuvering and corporate hardball of her career. However, Liesl spends as much time in the outdoors beyond the metropolitan area. If you know her from the city and saw her outside of that element, odds are you might not recognize her simply for the fact that the two pursuits are so much a dichotomy. Word is that she intends to either lease or buy property, or build far enough out of town that her commute will be hell. [IMAGE URL LINK]
- Friends of Fenrir ..Liesl's father is a fostern philodox pack (Get only members) leader Fenrir's Fist in rural New York, casually known as the Apple Sept. He has a small bit of renown between the purity of his blood and the fact that his pack have survived odds that simply aren't the sort one repeatedly bests.
- New York City ..(see politics above) Liesl graduated early with her bachelor's in political science and an MBA. At age 21 she interned for several political campaigns and was either lucky enough (maybe she slept her way up toward that glass ceiling) or just that good that by 23 she had made a name for herself in the NYC firm of Roberts & Smythe. Now, almost 3 years later, she's coming to Detroit. Rumors are all over the place about whether she's here in support of the next gubernatorial race.
- Grey Market ..Liesl has connections. One would have to dig deep to know this. However, she somehow already has connections with a black market supplier of all manner of things one can't usually get without certain permits, medical degrees, military connections, etc. Her contact is Frye (goes by Friday; pb Francisco Denis 'Narcos').
- Offgrid Medical ..(see grey market) Probably through Friday, Liesl knows a few medical practioners who can deal with bullet wounds, broken bones, etc. while keeping their mouths shut - when paid well. Short movie clip: not for the squeamish.
- German ..It's not common knowledge that Liesl has dual citizenship in the US and Germany. However, should one have the opportunity to see her (rarely) lose her calm, collected, calculating demeanor, often the German accent will come to the fore, followed soon after by sharply and fluently spoken German.
- Fixer ..In addition to being a high level Lobbyist, Liesl has a reputation for being an exceptional 'fixer'. (Madeleine White (Jodie Foster in 'Inside Man' mingled with a bit of the movie 'Wag the Dog'). She can help you, yes. Can you afford to owe her? (*explicit language)
- Illegal Pharmaceuticals ..(see grey market) Friday is able to get Liesl pharmaceuticals (both illegal and prescription grade) with enough notice and significant payment. There are no hints or rumors that she takes drugs either recreationally or because of any addictions.
