Dr. Koenigswald is an employee of Julian Castle's and works at San Lorenzo's only hospital: The House of Hope and Mercy in the Jungle. Julian Castle explains to John that Dr. Koenigswald was a physician for the Nazis, participating in the mass murder that occurred at Auschwitz that killed over a million people. Dr. Koenigswald, absurdly, works at the hospital in an effort to pay off his moral debt by saving lives to make up for those he was involved in ending. Near the end of the book, he accidentally ingests ice-nine and is killed instantly.
