Your movie/game/life - Richter - 04-24-2008
Hagen is a common german first name and Richter is a common german surname. I was just combining two names I liked.
Come to think of it, I always liked the fictional character Hagen von Tronje from Richard Wagners opera cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen".
But actually, Hagen von Tronje and the Rheinwehr pilot Hagen Richter have not much in common.

Gerhard Barkhorn was a real life German aviator second only to Erich Hartmann in both German, World War II and total aviatory skill by kills.
I quite randomly thought up Joseph Weiss as an intimidating-sounding Germanic name.
Hiroyoshi Nishizawa was a real life Japanese aviator who is suspected by some historians to have been Japan's most successful fighter ace.
Arbiter is both a real life term used to designate a neutral decision maker and the name of a powerful alien warrior in the Halo series.
Alois is the middle name of the current Pope, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, formerly known as Joseph Alois Ratzinger. Gottlieb is a name I found by looking through the German surnames category in Wikipedia.
Rheingold is an altered naming of Rhinegold, a treasure that the dwarf Alberich sought and gave up love in order to get, and used to rule a kingdom.
