Dr. Lars Gottlieb is the father of Hermann Gottlieb and one of the architects of the Jaeger Program.[3]

Biography[]

Lars Gottlieb is the father of four children. Out of the four, Hermann is the only one to join the Pan Pacific Defense Corps.[2] Lars is credited as one of the founders of the Jaeger Program and was involved in the program's early stages after Jasper Schoenfeld's concept of the Jaeger was approved by the United Nations in 2014.[4]

Initially, Lars supports the Jaeger Program, as it serves as a viable and effective option for the defense of the Pacific Rim during the first six years of the Kaiju War. However, after the Kaiju start to evolve in both strength and intelligence and begin to best the Jaegers in battle, Lars chooses to side with the United Nations and their plan to construct the Anti-Kaiju Wall. His opinion of the situation does not sit well with Hermann, who continues to support the Jaeger Program, and Lars' relationship with his son eventually becomes strained as a result of their conflicting beliefs.
