Hes been around for a long time, but the spotlight hasnt really hit him in the show.
As were going into the Second World War, he is too old to be conscripted.
He is an air raid warden, and very bossy, he is too.
Hes a pedantic person and very much by the book, but prides himself on his organization.
A lot of people dont see it that way though.
They feel that he gets in their faces a little bit too much.
But hes a well-meaning character whos a bit damaged.
Hes just very lonely.
I have a certain backstory myself, but we dont really see that in the show.
However,Tristans (Callum Woodhouse)surprise return wont be quite as uncomplicated as Siegfried had hoped.
