Ernst Heinrich is a mental patient at Les Cerisiers. He believes he is the famous physicist Albert Einstein. In Act II, we learn that his mental illness is a ruse, and that Ernesti is actually Joseph Eisler, a famed physicist turned spy for his country's intelligence agency. Eisler's mission is to bring Mobius back to his country, so his government can benefit from Mobius's scientific discoveries.
