An uncouth, squat professor of natural philosophy at Ingolstadt with a gruff voice and repulsive countenance, who questioned Victor about his studies, harshly criticized his devotion to alchemical authors like Agrippa and Paracelsus, and gave him a reading list of modern natural philosophy books along with notice of his upcoming lectures.

As Victor threw himself into scientific study over the following two years, Krempe would often ask him with a sly smile how Cornelius Agrippa was getting on, and expressed astonishment at his growing proficiency.

Over Victor's two years of study Krempe repeatedly needled him about Agrippa while marveling at his progress; now, upon meeting Victor again, his blunt praise that Victor had outstripped the whole university caused Victor even more pain than Waldman's kindness, until Krempe launched into self-eulogy and changed the subject.
