Professor Wilhelm V. Jürgen was a brilliant scientist working within the Extra-Over Technological Investigative Institute, before joining up with the Divine Crusaders. According to Guiliam Jeager, Juerger developed the networking ODE System, in hopes of utilizing it before extraterrestrial invaders would attack Earth. Unfortunately, the Aerogaters arrived earlier than he anticipated. As a result, Jürgen would lose his entire family after a Megillot attack. Following the L5 Campaign, Jürgen would completely redesign the ODE System. He would bring the technology to Wong Heavy Industries, using it as a basis for the soon-to-be rolled out VTX series of mecha. Believing that if the rest of the world were united as a single consciousness, by means of the ODE System, future wars with extraterrestrials would spare the pain of people losing their loved ones.
In the OVA, Jürgen would use his own body to act as the living core of the mainframe for the ODE System, installed inside a single Bartoll unit. The system, having completely fused with Jürgen's consciousness, would slowly assimilate other people into its collective, eventually leading the mass-production machines in subjugating all of humanity. However, the Earth Federation Army would successfully locate Jürgen and disconnect his uplink with the system. Jürgen would perish from the Earth Federation's retaliation, but not before the ODE System released a stream of data, sending it into the far corners of space.
In Original Generations, it is revealed that before the Aerogaters arrived, funding for the ODE System would be halted by Adler Koch, after he assumed command of the Divine Crusaders. It is safe to assume the ODE System was not fully completed yet, which was why after the L5 Campaign, he would relocate to Wong Heavy Industries and have the system completed there, instead. In the bonus segment of the game, Jürgen's consciousness would remain separate from the ODE System. Rather than act individually in his quest to unite all humanity, he would acquire the helping hand of Kyle Bean and Selcia Farmu. Although the bonus segment shares some similarities with the story from the OVA, Jürgen would pilot a Valsion Custom Type-CF, and meet the Original Generation cast head-on in battle inside the Hellgate facility. As well, Jürgen would seemingly destroy Lamia Loveless, after she was rescued by Kyosuke Nanbu. This act was enough for Lamia's allies to put an end to his plans. As Jürgen was losing the upper hand, it was revealed he had another accomplice, the enigmatic being known as Duminuss, the main antagonist from Super Robot Wars Reversal. However, it seemed that Jürgen was the one who served Duminass, and seeing that he had served his purpose, Duminuss destroyed him and his Valsion Custom Type-CF.
