Overview History Relationships
Background[]
Klein is the butler of the Schnee family. Although it is unknown how long he has been employed by the Schnee Family, it's been implied that Klein himself has been working for them since the three Schnee Children's early childhoods due to his long standing friendship with Weiss Schnee.

At the Schnee Home[]
Klein helps Weiss escape the Schnee Manor
Sometime after her return from Vale, Weiss is informed by Klein that her father, Jacques, wishes to speak with her. After she speaks to her father and departs unhappy, Klein cheers Weiss up by offering her a coffee and mocking her father. Later, Klein worriedly comes running when a window explodes in her room and promptly shows pride when he realizes that she successfully summoned the Arma Gigas. Klein then helps Weiss escape the Schnee Manor through a secret passage in the library.
After Weiss returns to Atlas with her friends, Whitley mentions that Klein was let go, most likely having been discovered to have helped Weiss escape Schnee Manor.

Salem's Invasion[]
Klein returns to the Schnee manor to treat Nora's injuries.
During the Battle of Atlas, Klein is later called back to the manor by Whitley to treat Nora Valkyrie's injuries, and is greeted by a tearful Weiss. He apparently blames Jacques for having being fired. Klein would head to Weiss' room in order to treat Nora.
Klein tends to Nora, who awakens just as Weiss, Whitley, Ruby Rose, and Blake Belladonna rush a badly-damaged Penny Polendina into Weiss's room. Klein isn't sure whether he can adequately repair the damage, but will do what he can. Unfortunately, at that moment the power goes out. May Marigold, on her way back to the Mantle Crater to help the refugees, calls them to confirm that Atlas just took another major hit. Ruby apologizes that they aren't doing more to help, but May tells her not to beat herself up, saying she doesn't know how much help they are able to give at this point.
Klein tries to comfort the depressed Ruby by suggesting she start with trying to fix what's in front of her; he could repair Penny more easily if they can restore power. An intoxicated Willow Schnee joins them, revealing the Schnees have a backup generator on their estate. Whitley remembers that the SDC has dozens of cargo ships on standby due to the Dust embargo. If piloted by the Snow Shoe Shipping drones, they can be used to transport the refugees to safety, as long as Whitley can gain access to Jacques' computer.
When The Hound attacks the Huntresses outside, Penny shifts between her normal persona and Watts' hacking. Nora reaches out to her from her bed, saying no one will make Penny do something she doesn't want to. Penny claims a part of her is making her, but Nora calms her down, allowing penny return to her own persona. Weiss calls Klein again, telling him to keep everyone quiet, but Klein warns her that Whitley and Willow haven't returned yet.
Penny's hacked persona takes control once again. Knocking Klein aside, she strides out of Weiss' room and toward the entrance hall, passing the Schnees.
Klein is present to watch Monstra's destruction, and later when Ruby's Group plans their next move. Klein later pilots the Manta with Team RWBY, Penny Willow, and Whitley aboard as Team RWBY takes Penny to the Vault. Klein is later seen alongside Willow and Whitley having safely evacuated to Vacuo with them.
