Hans Fischer had been wandering aimlessly through Acre's network of underground corridors, hoping to find some clue that would lead him to the location of the members of the Bluthund Community, if they were in that labyrinth. He knew the personalities of Corrado Gherardi and Wolfran von Eichenberg because they were in the Vatican intelligence files, to which he had access.
The Colonel had already been wandering incessantly through the passages for hours and was desperate to find any vestige of his prey. Furthermore, the confinement and the stale air, accompanied by loneliness, were causing him a state of agitation due to anxiety. On the other hand, deep down he did not want to see himself in the situation of facing the persecuted men with weapons.
