In the Darkest Timeline Johannes Kal outlived the company and most of his companions, eventually becoming a hero and general of the resistance. However, it seems he blamed himself for the deaths of his subordinates and friends and eventually he took his own life.
An experienced mercenary who eventually took over command of the Company of Steel from his mentor Giancarlo Vespa; he has since passed leadership on to his former second Shaky Susan Miller.
Recently he was recognised as the legitimate son of Baron Samuel Stahl and made Baron of a small town (now called Kalsguard).
As reward for his part in preventing the return of Enyalius (perhaps exaggerated in his recounting of events), Johannes Kal has been made a Duke and his holdings expanded to include a small fortress to the north.
