Reinhard VON LOHENGRAMM

Born of noble class in the Galactic Empire, Reinhard's family is in financial trouble when his father gives his beloved older sister Annerose to become a mistress of Kaiser Friedrich IV. With a grudge against the corrupt royals and snivelling nobles that commit injustices against the people of the Empire, Reinhard vows to gain the power to change the situation, even if only to save his sister from the Kaiser's grip.

Reinhard enters the military at a young age, and with the help of his childhood friend Siegfried Kircheis, he climbs the ranks and proves himself an able admiral as well as a cunning politician as he builds up his power base and implements his vision of how the galaxy should run.
