Colonel Zeplin Van Brello is an SS Officer and one of the heads of military operations in Europe at the beginning of World War II. Santa is arrested brought in to Colonel Van Brello's office for interrogation. The soldiers are a little rough on Santa as if he were a common criminal. The soldiers leave the office and Santa is now all alone. He looks around the office. There are a lot of guns on display in the office. The door to this office is larger than a normal door, as if the size of the door indicated that it is the door of a very important person. In fact, when Colonel Van Brello stands in the doorway, it makes him appear small and unimportant by comparison. His desk is also just slightly larger than normal so when Colonel Van Brello sits at his desk, it makes him look a little like he's too small for it. |
The office door opens and Colonel Van Brello comes into the room. He starts out cheerfully. Santa only listens but doesn't speak.COLONEL ZEPLIN VAN BRELLO
