"This vegetarian New Age healer has an amazing grasp of medicine for a man who's never seen the inside of a university med school. He also has a decent grasp for killing quickly and quietly. Born on outskirts of Berlin, he now calls California home where he lives in the mountains with his newborn son and ex-wife, Cassandra." - A.I.M. dossier, Jagged Alliance 2
"Just returned from a two-week chi-cleansing retreat in New Mexico, Thor reports that he has two things: a groovy recipe for an avocado smoothie and a thirst for adventure. Kaufman's new age lifestyle makes him a natural healer and his balance-focused conditioning allows him to move about with stealth and grace. His Zen-like demeanor makes it easy to overlook his fighting skills, but in hand-to-hand combat there are few that can match him. Thor also possesses an extremely inquisitive intellect, meaning there are few skills he can't pick up while on assignment." - A.I.M. dossier, Jagged Alliance 3

Very high total status points, well-balanced in most attributes
Above average doctor
Extremely high Wisdom
Very good for close combat (stealth and hand to hand combined with high physical stats)
Training militia (61 Leadership)
Relatively cheap considering his attributes
Starts off with a silencer (only one of two characters to do so)
Weaknesses[]
Marksmanship is only average but can be improved rapidly thanks to high Wisdom.
Night Ops is better than Stealth at night, and offers a bonus to "Required Sleep." Stealth, however, aids in building clearing/flanking/daytime
Hand to Hand does more raw damage (and can be used in conjunction with knuckles and crowbars for even more damage), but Martial Arts have greater melee accuracy and defense, defensive bonuses against knives, and grants a bonus to "Required Sleep." Thus, considering the limited opportunities and extreme risk in melee combat, martial arts offers much better passive bonuses.
Overall, Thor has no glaring weaknesses. He has excellent stats and amazing potential, but he's balanced by the choice of two skills that have better alternatives (in Night Ops and Martial Arts).
