Chief of Operations Hermann Gruber
Police Chief Inspector and Chief of Operations

Hermann Gruber is in charge of the Coastguard Headquarters ashore, and he is also the liaison officer with the other organs of the state that co-operate on the coastguard missions. He is Ehlers' immediate superior and frequently resents the Captain's tendency to overstep the line and act on his own authority. Gruber loves to pepper his conversation with jargon. He is very conscientious with a strong sense of justice.
