On the other hand, later on Reinhard does conceive a child with Hildegard von Mariendorf, whom he eventually marries, so it isn't as if he's incapable of finding women attractive. After Kircheis's death he appears to grow fond of his young aide Emil von Seele as well, possibly as a sort of Replacement Goldfish. Even if there's no sexual attraction, it's clearly at least a romantic friendship of some kind. Ambiguously Bi: On the one hand, early on in the series Reinhard shows no interest in pursuing women and is only shown to care about two people: his sister Annerose, and his childhood companion Siegfried Kircheis, with whom he shares a very intense and intimately personal bond.Reinhard oozes charisma, but his presence alone intimidates people and as a result people tend to admire him from a distance. Aloof Leader, Affable Subordinate: The aloof leader to Kircheis' affable subordinate.

Guys like Rudolf, Muckenberger and Reuenthal stick to one cape, but Reinhard has at least 6 throughout the series. He is the only Fleet Admiral to wear different kinds of cloaks.

Agent Peacock: More subtle than most examples.

The Ace: The youngest, greatest and last fleet admiral of the Goldenbaum dynasty.

When Reinhard took to the field personally, it was aboard the white battleship, Brunhilde.

He has also earned himself quite a few enemies among in the more conservative nobility for these very qualities, but he is in many ways protected both by his military reputation and the Kaiser's favor. His nigh-unfaltering confidence, personal charisma, and refusal to cater to those with noble lineage garner him a significant power base among common soldiers and dissatisfied nobles alike. Reinhard von Lohengramm possesses a strategic genius evident both on and off the battlefield, and perhaps even more importantly, a keen eye for human talent. With the patronage of Kaiser Friedrich IV he rather quickly rose to the rank of Admiral and was later inducted into the high nobility with the title of Count Lohengramm. Along with his friend, Siegfried Kircheis, he abandoned his father and entered the Imperial military academy in the Imperial capital. This abuse of authority drove him to swear a lofty oath: he would fight and eliminate anyone who stood in his way to rescue his sister, or die in the attempt.

This changed when he found out that his sister Annerose had been taken to the Imperial Palace as a concubine for the Kaiser. ' There is great satisfaction in fighting for the sake of gaining power, but its joyless to fight for the sake of maintaining it.'Ī young noble whose family had fallen on hard times, Reinhard von Musel was nevertheless content, with his best friend and older sister providing him with all the happiness he needed.
