Yeah, Klaus is basically a deeply cranky, antisocial misanthrope, plain and simply. He reacts with disgust and horror to Eroica's constant "perverted" come-ons, but seems just about as upset when perfectly attractive women hit on him. He also hates his superior officers (stupid, perverted, incompetent, and for reasons of rank he can't threaten them with shooting or exile way he wants to), most of his underlings (incompetent, he constantly threatens to exile them to Alaska), other NATO agents from other countries (stupid, incompetent, and lacking in discipline), his usual KGB foils, flashy non-German sports cars, art, flamboyant clothing...well, really, when you come down to it, he hates just about everything and everyone but his father, one of the nuns at his old boarding school, bad Nescafe instant coffee, cigarettes (as long as they're his own manly brand, not the poofy things Eroica smokes), tanks, sensible German cars like his Benz, and fried potatoes. Oh, and when it really comes down to it, it seems like he doesn't really truly hate some of his more competent agents (Z/Tzet and the cross-dressing G in particular), and he even seems to develop a sort of grudging respect for Eroica himself after a while (he may be a flashy, gaudy pervert, but he's neither stupid nor incompetent). But of course, being the gruff manly-man sort that he is, he's never in a million years going to ADMIT to anything of the sort.
