Hassenfeffer is a German-American model who works for the Ciao! fashion company. He is best friends with fellow model Bryan Frou. Upon first meeting Shawn and Gus, he calls Gus's features immaculate but does not believe that Shawn could possibly be a model, although he accepts the explanation of him being a foot model. He is not very impressed with Lassiter's sense of fashion either.
When chairman of the company Gregor Uwe-Steeb is killed, Hassenfeffer could not be more apathetic. This does not make him any more of a suspect, however, since hardly any of Gregor's employees actually liked him and the SBPD believe him to be much too shallow and dim-witted to commit a murder in the first place.
Trivia[]
- The name "Hassenfeffer" is likely derived from "Hasenpfeffer", the name of a traditional German rabbit stew. In combination with the name "Frou" it could also be a more direct reference to Frau Hassenfeffer from Animaniacs.
