Ludwig Nachtbändiger

Overall View
Ludwig Nachtbändiger is the leader of the reborn Cross Army, and originally a friend of Devon from Vinnie's original universe. Ludwig wears a normal soldier uniform and red glasses that were originally able to mind control people with a glare, however after the death of Hacos it has lost it's magic.

Lore
Ludwig befriended Devon after he had been separated by his sister, Crystal, when being sent to Germany. He had also befriended Vlahd, who they both had used for his strength. Devon had happened to be adopted by the current leader of the Cross Army at that time. But after an "accident" caused by Devon, he had inherited his Father's role, making Ludwig and Vlahd his top soldiers, Ludwig for his brains and Vlahd for the Brawns. Devon and Ludwig's partnership lasted up until Devon had quit and given the role to Ludwig, in which he had nearly taken over durdam lane with the help of the Visitor, only to be stopped by Vinnie and Co.

Ludwig would later on join multiple villain groups, acting as yet again the brains. But after the defeat of Hacos, he would regain his role of main Villian, rebuilding the Cross Army from the ground up with the rest of the remaining Villains from Hacos' army. After The Cross Army had destroyed the VinnysWorld universe, they went onto exploring a different universe, in which they discovered that the original Vinnie from Vinnysworld had left to. Ludwig had convinced Agent Heffley that The Boys and Cool Crew were interdimentional terrorist, gaining his trust and resources for exterminating The Boys along with the Cool Crew.
