The "Tailor" was a former Nazi officer who served at Auschwitz and was associated with Sebastian Shaw.
Biography[]
During World War II, the "Tailor" was an SS Nazi officer who, under the orders of Adolf Hitler, kidnapped and murdered many Jewish people, stripping them of their identities and relocating them to concentration camps. After the surrender of the Third Reich marked the end of World War II, he took refuge at Villa Gesell in Argentina.
In 1962, Erik Lehnsherr arrived at Villa Gesell hoping to confront Shaw, based on a tip he extracted from a French banker in Switzerland. Instead, Lehnsherr found him and the "Pig Farmer" in the bar. Thinking they were mere patrons, Erik then noticed both him and the Pig Farmer in a photo along with Shaw, on a boat in Miami, Florida known as the Caspartina. As Erik spoke German in the bar, the Pig Farmer struck up a conversation with him, revealing that he and the Tailor had moved from Dusseldorf.
As Erik was aware that pig farmers and tailors in Dusseldorf were not Jewish during the Third Reich and that they were actually Nazi fugitives, Erik told him that his parents were from Dusseldorf as well; however, their identities were stripped by pig farmers and tailors. Noticing Erik's number tattooed on his arm, the Tailor's eyes widened in shock and fear as the Pig Farmer attempted to kill Erik with a Nazi dagger. Erik managed to grab the dagger and plunged it into the Pig Farmer's hand, causing him to yell in pain. The bartender then attempted to shoot Erik; however, Erik uses his ability to move the gun towards the Tailor and to squeeze the trigger, killing the Tailor.
