Jorg Meisterbader - a “mild-mannered manufacturer of quality playthings” turned armoured villain, whose chest-plate is a literal glockenspiel (Matchman plays “Greensleeves” on it while beating him, #15). He hides Nazi brainwashing transmitters inside wind-up toy monkeys and commands platoons of swastika-armband cymbal-monkeys.

A toy manufacturer turns familiar childhood objects into concealed instruments of control.
This biography includes story developments and endings
Der Glockenspiel, Jorg Meisterbader, operates in the German part of Ultima Thule. His production hides dangerous devices inside wind-up monkeys, using a toy’s harmless appearance to conceal ideological manipulation. Arnie’s information helps the team reach this organisation while pursuing Wilhelmina.
In combat he wears a metallophone on his chest and commands mechanical forces, including Clockface. Matchman turns that imposing display into a musical joke during their fight. The destruction of the operation is a stage on the way to the Antarctic climax.
