Template:SADcharacterinfoboxColonel Hoffman (originally known in Japan as ボルナソス大佐 (Borunasosu Taisa Colonel Borunasosu)) is an antagonist character in Shin-Combat Choro-Q. He is a colonel who serves in the Q-Stein Empire. His most notable appearance was during the siege on Rivageders in "Beacon of the Counterattack", where he led a battalion of Marder II tank destroyers into battle and himself destroyed the clock tower, before losing his soldiers and fleeing the city because of the successful repulsion by the newer Proton soldiers and their ace. His escape didn't help him survive the inevitable, though, even with backup from Q-Stein reserve units. The same Protons that thwarted the previous attack eventually reached him on the plains, where most Q-Stein forces in the area were destroyed, Hoffman along with them.
He can be spared in one mission and killed in two missions at the very beginning; though canonically, he escapes Rivageders after his troops are destroyed during "Beacon of the Counterattack", and is afterwards killed in a battle on the plains outside the city during the mission, "Save the Allies".
