Aleksander Tiedemann

Aleksander Tiedemann runs the Winden nuclear power plant with the clipped efficiency of a man who trusts no one further than he has to. Married to Regina, he presents himself as a respectable local businessman, controlled and private, but there's a watchfulness underneath the calm that suggests he is guarding something he'd rather no one in town ever finds.

Peter Benedict plays him with a stillness that reads as boredom until you notice how carefully he's choosing his words. Dark surrounds him with tangled families and paradoxes, but Tiedemann's reserve stands out precisely because it seems so ordinary — a quiet man with quiet secrets, which is exactly what makes him worth watching closely.
