Dr. Krauss is intent on preventing his errant students from stealing the power of the Darkling for themselves.

Dr. Krauss is a mortal. He is a professor of the occult who wishes to summon the Darkling and use it for his own nefarious purposes. He began using his own wife in various experiments and dark rituals, driving her insane and leading to her death and transformation into the banshee Moonscream. He hastily buried her body in the basement of his cabin, padlocked and hid the basement doors, and moved his experiments back to the university.

Three of Dr. Krauss's students - Bruce Elm, Richard Getley, and Sarah Knowby - stole his notes and traveled to the doctor's remote cabin to find his occult tome, hoping to summon and control the Darkling for their own plans. Though the professor found out about the theft and tried to stop them, he was scared away from the cabin by the Ghost Master, allowing the students to complete the ritual and lose their souls to the partially summoned Darkling.

Investigating the disappearance of Dr. Krauss' wife, the police found disturbing experimental equipment hidden in Dr. Krauss' house and arrested him.

Dr. Krauss was later arrested and held in a solitary cell in the Gravenville police department on the night that the Ghost Master attacked it. However, he was freed by the mysterious Dr. Brunner.

Later, three more university students began investigating the forest and - with the help of the Ghost Master - were lead to the cabin and the tome. They attempted the ritual and lost their souls to the now completely summoned Darkling. Unfortunately, Dr. Krauss had set a ghost trap in the basement, which promptly captured the Darkling.

Insane genius and secretive worshipper of the Darkling, Dr. Krauss intends to unleash the apocalyptic potential of his deity.

Dr. Krauss transported the Darkling to his laboratory at the top of Gravenville's hospital and placed it in a permanent ward powered by the thoughts of mental patients in the asylum. With the Darkling fully and safely contained, the professor began to study and worship the power of the spirit, slowly driving himself further into madness. When the Ghost Master released the mental patients and caused the ward to fail, the Darkling immediately escaped and devoured Krauss's soul.
