Dinklestein Kerman does not appear in-game, but is one of the few non-random Kerbals named in any game text. His eponymous "Construction Emporium" is the manufacturer of some of KSP's least aerospace-oriented parts. They could, in fact, be mistaken for surplus building materials which just happen to be light enough for improvised centrifugal space stations and boats. Examples can be found in stock KSP vehicles of these parts being more useful than repurposing wings as structural elements.

Dinklestein is said to handcraft some of these parts, such as the M-Beam 200 I-Beam. This claim has yet to be proven.

Aside from possibly being a one-Kerbal-factory, Dinklestein could possibly be connected to industrial espionage (also unproven) against Rockomax Brand -- makers of the much rounder Rockomax HubMax Multi-Point Connector. However, the only similar product Dinklestein may or may not handcraft -- the The Not-Rockomax Micronode -- explicitly implies right in its name that it is not based on anything by Rockomax. Dinklestein Kerman's Construction Emporium further denies in particular that any similarity between these products is, itself, the product of industrial espionage.
