Baron WIlhelm "Bill" von Kenkel was a Prussian nobleman who served as Inspector General during the early days of The Nerdologues.  Originally coming to Chicago for grad school in neuroscience, von Kenkel was caught up in The Nerdologues struggle for independence.  He is credited with bringing a brand of continental discipline and tactics to the Nerdologues.  Von Kenkel's scorched earth tactics were used to great effect at the battle of Joone Studios and during the Siege of Second City.  He is currently buried in a post-doc at Northeastern University in Boston.
