Adaptational Jerkass: While Spy wasn't the nicest guys, he cared for his teammates underneath all his aloof snark."You have compromised this entire operation!"The ex-Spy of BLU, now a Private Detective who is called into action to find and recover Jules Archibald. This happens twice: the first when Maynard blasts him with a shotgun and the second after Murnau forces him to play Russian Roulette. Resurrective Immortality: Is able to revive from fatal injuries, seemingly due to the Respawn Machine.Looks Like Cesare: Looks almost exactly like him when he pops out of Archibald's coffin to ambush the Detective.Grievous Bottley Harm: After he revives for the first time, he grabs a bottle and retaliates against Maynard for killing him by smashing it against his head, knocking off his goggles and hardhat.Go Out with a Smile: Ludwig's ( presumably) final death reveals he died with an extremely unnerving grin, not helped by the fact that his corpse has his eyes bulging out of their sockets and is decomposing.
keyword being tries, because unbeknownst to him, Ludwig has been hiding in Jules's coffin and ambushes him, gunning the Detective down before he can even finish what he's saying. The Detective later tries to frame Ludwig as a mad cultist who murdered Jules Archibald.The Detective and Jane Doe initially believe Ludwig to be part of the kidnapping plot and responsible for the murder of Scout's Mom due to his bonesaw being on-site and the use of pre-recorded messages of him from an unknown party.Early-Bird Cameo: He, or a Medic that's clearly meant to be reminiscing of him, appears at the end of another of Spy's Disguise, another Fortress Films production, complete with a cross necklace.It is only when things start transpiring at the Slaughterhouse that Jane Doe is given a much larger focus, with his actions being the ones that progress the main plot. Decoy Protagonist: Whilst he doesn't die at least not until the very end of the story, Ludwig stars as the main protagonist throughout the first portion of the film, and his story is given the main focus.
Bilingual Bonus: Ludwig doesn't speak German as often as his canon counterpart, but he utters one German sentence at the end of the movie. Ambiguously Evil: It's left unclear just how involved he was with the events regarding Jeremy and his mother. His religious status is never clarified, so it's up to viewer's interpretation if his faith is genuine or a coping mechanism. Ambiguously Christian: Ludwig crosses himself after entering the Conagher Slaughterhouse, wears the cross that was given to him in the cathedral while he was hiding from the Butcher, and begs God to help him in his native German before downing the "Valium" at the very end of the movie. Here, Ludwig is his last name, with his first name being Fritz, which was a derogatory nickname an enemy Soldier would call him after dominating him. Machine implies that his last name is Humboldt. While the Medic's real name is indeed Ludwig in the game/comics, the Rottenburg stage in Mann vs. Here, Ludwig actually takes his medical responsibilities seriously, has a genuine friendship with Jeremy to the point of going out of his way to try and rescue him from Conagher Slaughterhouse, and actively represses his murderous impulses until they’re absolutely necessary to defend himself. Adaptational Heroism: In Team Fortress 2, Ludwig is an utterly amoral scientist who doesn’t hesitate to harm or even kill others, would eagerly betray his own team if it meant pursuing his scientific experiments, and even sewed other people's souls onto himself so he could sell them off and ensure no-one has a majority share in his soul, including the Devil himself. Furthermore, the film's depiction of the Heavy is a ruthless Russian who's later reanimated as a zombie, means Ludwig is anything but friendly towards him. In Emesis Blue, Ludwig's closest friend is Jeremy instead, a relationship that hasn't been examined much in the base game. Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Though the Medic is friendly with most of his teammates in the game/comics, he's generally depicted as being Heterosexual Life-Partners with the Heavy the most. But he proves himself to be much more adept and resourceful than he appears to be, and when pushed far enough, is capable of some pretty brutal violence. Action Survivor: Ludwig is a medical doctor who, compared to the BLU members, isn't really suited for direct combat. Lately, he has been haunted by something else. He has been treating Jeremy for illnesses that have struck him recently, likely in regard to issues with the Respawn Machine.
