Biography
Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich (Japanese: ラインハルト・トリスタン・オイゲン・ハイドリヒ, Hepburn: Rainharuto Torisutan Oigen Haidorihi) was a male human born March 7th, 1907 in Halle an der Saale to the composer and opera singer Richard Bruno Heydrich and his wife Elisabeth Anna Maria Amalia Heydrich. Heydrich's family held social standing and substantial financial means. Due to being surronded by music since youth he developed a passion for the violon, and this is a passion that he would carry into adulthood. Where he always impressed people with his musical talent. Ever since a young age he exelled in both academia - especially in the sciences - and was a talented athlete. Who was most skilled in fencing and swimming. He was often bullied due to his high-pitched voice and rumored Jewish anscestry. Which was a point of great discrimination in Germany even before the rise to power of the Third Reich. After the end of World War I his town of Halle became a centre of civil unrest—including strikes and clashes between communist and anti-communist groups. In 1922, when he was only fifteen years old, he joined Maercker's Volunteer Rifles and helped to quell the riots. And after they began to fade he was assigned to protect private property, little was known of his role in this, though it left a great impression upon him. Soon afterward he would join Deutschvölkischer Schutz und Trutzbund, one of the largest and most powerful Anti-Semetic organization after World War I.
On Christmas Eye in 1939, he was the chief of the Gestapo and was in charge of handling a suspect by the name of Karl Kraft. The man had predicted an attempted an assassination of the Fuhrer sometime earlier in the year.
After Karl Kraft successfully predicted an assassination attempt on Hitler, Reinhard was called in to help interrogate him. Reinhard took an interest in the man, deciding to take him into his custody. Some time later, Reinhard was called to break up a fight between Eleonore von Wittenburg, Beatrice Waltrud von Kircheisen, Wolfgang Schreiber, and Wilhelm Ehrenburg. At Karl's urging, Reinhard decided to stop holding himself back, easily defeating all four of the fighters and becoming fully aware of his sense of foreknowledge.
He later established a round table known as the Longinus Dreizehn Orden that operated in the shadows in the world. Following its formation, it consisted of thirteen seats that had members that made use of Karl Kraft's Die Ewigkeit magical system. It allowed each member to become stronger through taking on the souls of other beings starting from people in World war II. The Longinus Dreizehn Orden attempted to grant Reinhard Godhood through the first Transmutation of Gold during the burning of Berlin, however, it was a failure, and while his soul did ascend to Gladsheimr, his physical body remained on earth.
Overview
Personality and attributes
He also came to be known as Mephistopheles (メフィストフェレス, Mefisutoferesu) and sat on the first seat on the Longinus Dreizehn Orden. Among his other titles included being known as the Golden Beast, the Monarch of Destruction, King of Valhalla and as the Harbinger of Beguiling Light.
Originally, he displayed virtually no emotions as he saw no joy or color in life. Everything he did was perfectly accomplished without any effort so that nothing brought him a challenge or any joy.
As a person, Reinhard was shown to be highly charismatic where through speech alone he could make people either kill themselves and join the ranks of his Legion.
Powers and abilities
As with the Apoptosis of Mercurius, all the action Reinhard takes will lead to the eventual destruction of Omega Ewigkeit, which is the main goal of Longinus Dreizehn Orden. This gives him immense superhuman strength, even before becoming an Apostle. He killed Wilhelm and Schreiber with a single blow without any difficulty. His status as God's Self Destructive Factor allows him to bypass the difference in strength between him and Mercurius alone. He also possessed immortality of a sort, as long as Mercurius cannot fulfill his desire to die, Reinhard will continue to exist.
As Mercurius's apoptsis, he naturally possessed the Sense of Foreknowledge (既知感, Kichikan) that was the result of the Mercurial Snake's world of Omega Ewigkeit constantly looping time. As such, he was struck with a constant feeling of deja vu and the sense that they had already experienced the current moment which was due to him subconsciously accessing lingering memories of past iterations.
The amount of soul in Reinhard's legion far surpasses any of the Longinus Dreizehn Orden members. His very own flesh became the Holy Relic, Heilige Eohl, imbued with impregnable defense and other mechanisms such as anti-physical, anti-magical, anti-temporal, and anti-accident.
He came to possess his own Holy Relic which was the Longinuslanze Testament (聖約・運命の神槍ロンギヌスランゼ・テスタメント, Seiyaku Unmei No Kami YariRonginusuranze tesutamento?).
His briah was Gladsheimr - Gullinkambi Fünfte Weltall (至高天・黄金冠す第五宇宙グラズヘイム・グランカムビ・フュンフト・ヴェルトール) that could manifest as a golden castle.
