Kaiser Wilhelm von Shakespeurtin III

==== "Kaiser Wilhelm von Shakespeurtin…he came from legendary beginnings, but in the end he proved more monster than man. The mere thought of him makes my stuffing curl…"  - Scooby Doo ====

Kaiser Wilhelm von Shakespeurtin III was born on the 26th of April 1564 under the name William Shakespeare. On his deathbed in 1616, however, Shakespeare made a deal with the Devil. This agreement allows him to project his consciousness into another person’s body. By taking the lives of others, Shakespeare could potentially live forever. Whilst the body of Shakespeare would cease to function on the 23rd of April 1616, Shakespeare the bitter and twisted man lived on, eventually projecting his consciousness into the body of a German Kaiser. Taking the name Kaiser Wilhelm Von Shakespeurtin  [1], he proceeded to live on throughout the ages  [2], steadily building up his wealth and power, and waiting for the day when he would rule this world.

That day came in 2006 when, after amassing vast stores of riches, weapons, and powerful allies, the Kaiser threatened world peace with his technology and armaments. His one demand was world domination, and in a matter of days it was met. His regime went largely unchallenged until 2007, when an organised rebellion was formed to oppose him. However, even then his control over the world did not truly waver. For five years the Kaiser ruled the world with an iron fist and turned modern society into a dystopia. In 2011, though, he set out on a personal mission to find and kill his nemesis Scooby Doo - the founder of the rebellion and the last remaining person that could crush his empire - after alearning of his escape from Hell. Acompanied by his Minion, the Kaiser tracked Scooby to Umina. ==Behind the Scenes  == While the Kaiser is referenced constantly throughout Operation R.E.L.P and is a prominent figure in the Short Stories and cancelled Video Game, the film Operation S.C.O.O.B.Y marked his first on-screen appearance. In the film, Kaiser Wilhelm von Shakespeurtin is played by Rohain Davies and speaks largely in German. The Kaiser is always depicted wearing his signature trench coat - a relic from his days in the war.

 [1] The moniker of ‘The Third’ was added in later years, during instances when Shakespeurtin needed to dissuade people from his true form and age. <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-family: mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"> [2] At one point or another, Shakespeurtin was in control of many of histories most famous figures, often to turn the fate of Europe to be most favourable to him.
