Biography[]

Wilhelm II was grandson of the United Kingdom's Queen Victoria and cousin to Great Britain's King George V and Russia's Tsar Nicholas II. He became Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany in 1888.[3][4]

In May 1914, the last descendant of the Man in the Iron Mask — the secret brother of French King Louis XIV — planned to give Kaiser Wilhelm the Crown of the Rom in exchange for his help in re-establishing a French monarchy. However, the descendant died in events involving a young Indiana Jones and his friends before that could take place.[1]

Following a German revolution, Wilhelm abdicated on November 9, 1918, three days before World War I came to a close.[3]

Around May 1941 at the Akashic Hall of Records, Reginald Brooksbank foresaw Wilhelm's death in the Netherlands next month of that year and logged it as one of several events in the then near future which was provided to Colonel Musgrove.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

LucasArts employee Aric Willmunder originally worked on an IBM video game adaptation of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles which would have had a young Indiana Jones infiltrate a diplomatic party hosted by Wilhelm II at his palace during a World War I mission.[5] However, the game's development was ultimately halted according to fellow employee Tony Van due to Young Indy not being the successful television series Lucasfilm Ltd. expected it to turn out.[6]
