Korn

Lt. Col. Korn is Colonel Cathcart's intellectual assistant and right-hand man. Korn does most of the thinking and most of the work for Cathcart, who only takes the credit. Korn is portrayed as much more relaxed and less ostentatious than his superior, but much more sadistic and cynical. Much like Cathcart he has ambitions for higher military ranks but chooses to be below Cathcart and remain outside the limelight so that, if something goes wrong, Cathcart will take the fall instead of him.

Trivia

 * In the miniseries, Colonel Korn (played by Kevin J. O'Connor) is seen purchasing Nately's whore to intentionally needle Nately as Captain Black did in the novel.
