Campbell, Jr., an American who moves with his family to Germany after World War I and goes on to become a successful German-language playwright.
In Mother Night, the story of an American spy working undercover within Germany during WWII as a Nazi propagandist, Vonnegut intentionally portrays his main character with so much ambivalence that by the end you're not sure whether to root for or against him.
