Krieger is a hard man, in the latter half of his life but still vigorous and dangerous. His beard has gone whiteand his face is a mass of scars acquired over years of battling the forces of chaos. He is utterly devoted to Sigmar, and his work and cause as a witch hunter of the Holy Order of the Templars of Sigmar.
When Krieger was a young boy, his parents presented him as an offering to the Ruinous Powers, tying him to a stone altar in preparation for a ritual sacrifice. He was rescued at the eleventh hour by a witch hunter named Gunter Stolz, and was thereafter raised within the Great Temple. His hatred of Chaos and those who serve the Ruinous Powers is understandably awe-inspiring.
"I am Matthias Krieger, Witch Hunter of the Holy Order of the Templars of Sigmar. I am here at the behest of Father Anders to investigate the allegations of witchcraft that plague this Sigmar-fearing village!"
Matthias Krieger and Wieland Holtzjager were at odds during the hunt of Fauligmere. Holtzjagers unorthodox methods included a noticeable lack of intimidation or sermon and a healthy dose of what appeared to Krieger to be little more than veiled skullduggery and coercion with apostates and heretics.
Their acrimony culminated in a decided contest of jurisdiction and authority in the von Stauffers Manor and ultimately, Wielands inherent faith in his existence solely as a tool of Sigmar's will, regardless of his radical approach, won out. Whether it was Kriegers experience, or exhaustion which concluded the conflict, certainly it had to do with the man's years.
