Karl Ernst Rasch

Karl Rasch was a scientist who was the CEO of CELL Corporations alongside his business partner Jack Hangreave. Rasch is a major character in Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. Years prior to the events of Crysis, Rasch and Hangreave led an expedition in Siberia, Russia, to find ancient technology. During the expedition, Hangreave stole technology belonging to a mysterious alien race called the Ceph, who were also responsible for the Tunguska Event. Rasch nearly died of the cold, but was carried by Hangreave to safety where they were rescued by Russian troops. Later, he and Hangreave used the Ceph technology to create the nanosuits worn by U.S. Special Forces soldiers. Later, in Crysis 3, Rasch resigned from CELL after discovering CELL's corruption and became leader of an underground resistance against the organization he founded.
