Biography
Goenitz (Japanese: ルガール・バーンシュタイン, Hepburn: Rugāru Bānshutain)
Ever since Goenitz was young, he knew his duty as a Heavenly King and made haste to revive his lord Orochi. In an attempt to reach this means, he became a religious missionary who would travel to those in need. When he was eighteen, he challenged Rugal Bernstein and easily defeated the older man by taking out one of his eyes. As an experiment, he granted his opponent some of Orochi's power to see if he could become a valid host for the entity. Goenitz eventually assigns the task of observing the crimelord to two other Hakkeshu, Mature and Vice. Some time later, he paid a visit to a remote village where a Hakesshu member, Gaidel, was staying. To his surprise, Gaidel was living a peaceful life and had no interest in their lord's mission. In response, Goenitz activated the Riot of the Blood in his daughter, Leona, which lead to the death of her parents and everyone else in the village. Pleased with the results, he sealed away her memories and continued to look for ways of speeding up his lord's revival. He noticed that the seal containing Orochi is too strong for his lord, so he paid a visit to the Yata household. He murdered the current head of the clan, Maki Kagura, to break the seal's power.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Due to his powers, he came to be known as Goenitz of the Wildly-Blowing Wind (吹ふき荒すさぶ風かぜのゲーニッツ) and was also known by the nickname of Terrifying Tempest (吹ふき荒すさぶ風かぜ).
Though influenced by Orochi, he retains much of the mannerisms and civility of a priest, which is reflected in his winning poses and his elegant, somewhat flowery speech, ending most of his sentences with desu, which conveys politeness in Japanese.
Powers and abilities
Goenitz fights mainly with his control over wind with little concern for utilizing any established combative techniques. Like the other Four Kings, his moves are all written using the Cyrillic alphabet into romaji. His trademark move, Yo no Kaze, is a tornado that comes up at random, slicing any foe it touches, done while uttering his infamous catchphrase "Right here?" (ここですか？, Koko desu ka?). Goenitz is sarcastically toying with his opponent when saying that, asking if they want him to drop his tornado right where the opponent is.
As a Heavenly King, he can activate the Riot of the Blood in those who have part Orochi blood.
