History[]
Anime[]
Past[]
50 years ago, Schmitz was a G.U.N. agent. He and his fellow troops were called onto the space station to eliminate or capture anyone related to Project Shadow and ordered the scientists to put their hands up without any explanation as he and the G.U.N. agents did what they were told. Suddenly, he spotted Maria Robotnik, who ran away from the scene as Schmitz told her to stop. He eventually found her with her hands on a handle switch, intending to release the creature and set him free. Despite him pointing his gun at Maria and warning her not to pull on the handle or he would fire, she did the deed. (In the Japanese version, Schmitz is then seen firing his gun directly at her).[1]
Shadow Saga[]
Scarlet Garcia and Mr. Stewart visited a retirement center to interview Mr. Schmitz who is one of the few that witnessed the events of Space Colony ARK 50 years ago. At first, he refused to tell anything about the events of the ARK to Scarlet and Stewart, much to Scarlet's disgrace. Soon, Schmitz helped combat the black-suited agents that ambushed Stewart and Scarlet later on. He then finally told the story of his experience at the ARK 50 years ago as a G.U.N. agent. After telling his story, Schmitz became tearful and guilt-ridden over sealing Maria's fate.[1] He watched the battle in space with Super Sonic, Super Shadow and the Final Lizard.[2]
Personality[]
In his youth, Mr. Schmitz decided to join GUN because he believed that this way he would be able to protect people and world peace. After killing Maria, his dreams were shattered and the events that unfolded on the ARK haunted him for years. He could never forgive himself for shooting an innocent girl. He couldn't even reveal to the world what GUN had done on ARK. Helplessness and growing sadness make him a closed and suspicious man. However, when he was finally able to tell the truth, he regained hope for a better future.
