Siegfried Schtauffen/Biography

==Early Life (2379AD to 2383AD)==
Born in 2379AD, Siegfried--although unaware of it while young--is a member of the Schtauffen family, one of the esteemed lineages who served as part of the foundation of the NOS since the time of the system’s designs, alongside the likes of Sorairo and some of the higher clans themselves. 
Siegfried does not recall much about his mother or father, too young to remember his mother’s name, and he never met his father. His mother primarily took care of him in a place away from the NOS, in a city that was overlooked by the likes of the remnants of the Forsaken Ten of the Rogue Sectors. 
His father, Albrecht Schtauffen stayed with the NOS, serving them after the time of the War up to the Phantom Operations in 2386AD. His father would also perish in these events, supposedly killed in action with the surges of rebellion caused by the Operations.
A very young Siegfried and his mother decided to find a place to hide away from the NOS after his father died, with his mother knowing of Siegfried’s connection to the Schtauffen meant he would one day be targeted to bring back to replace his father. This would lead to his mother sending him with a friend of his father's where he would live in the Liberated region of Yurisa. The fate of Siegfried's mother is unknown to him.
===Jade-eyed Stranger (2384AD to 2389AD)===
Siegfried lived an uneventful, quiet life at the Sector for the next five years, and was protected by one of his father’s war friends taking residency in the Yurisa Region. However, when the end of the Phantom Operations took place, by 2389AD, the Sector was beginning to show signs of increasing decline in its idealogies and the friend was no longer certain of the safety of a young Siegfried. 
During this time of the Sector's weakness, Yurisa was invaded by individuals, the group was led by an individual who had jade eyes and blonde hair. This male killed the friend of Albrecht incidentally while seeking something in the region, and set his sights on Siegfried next. During his attempts to hide, Siegfried, almost by instinct wandered to a Cauldron that was procured by the Sector, but this Cauldron was previously said to be defunct. However, during his state of fear of these individuals, Siegfried fell into the Cauldron and it activated on contact with him as he became infused with a piece of Azure, turning his hair an azure-blue. The Cauldron’s distortion caused the individuals pursuing him to be gravely injured or consumed by the overflow of flames from it, minus the jade-eyed male who withstood them, but also fell unconscious. Siegfried recalls nothing of that man, aside the jade eyes and the fact he sought to take his life. 
Before the Cauldron could smelt the Azure piece and him in itself, it was shut down and Siegfried was pulled out by the likes of Sector 51. 
===Post Incident 2390 to 2391AD===
Following Siegfried’s unexpected incident with the Cauldron, the fact that he caused it to activate became a point of interest to the Sector, though whether anything came of that has yet to be discussed by Siegfried or other characters. However, Siegfried appeared to grow distrusting of the Sector in this time. 
===Imyo 2392AD===
Imyo would meet Siegfried during one of his trips to the region, and Siegfried was eager to leave them, being incredibly skittish and distrusting of them. Siegfried refused to speak about what he went through during his time there, but Imyo would give him a place to call home in the Illusory Grotto of Winds where his hideout was. It was there he met younger Nex who had recently escaped from the pursuits of the Sequence Intelligence Agency’s Destroyers led by Akuhei. 
==Divides of Destiny (2392AD to 2396AD)==
===Meaning of Family===
These years of Siegfried’s life were spent training with Imyo and living alongside Nex. The two gradually learned more about one another, and despite his rivalry with Nex, he would begin to view him as an older brother, and Imyo as his father. Imyo trained them for years in the hopes of them working together to bring down the NOS' system. 
===Azure to Ashes (2396AD)===
Unfortunately, Siegfried’s peace was not fated to last. The NOS had somehow infiltrated the illusory grotto and while Imyo was focused on getting Nex to safety and giving him a way out via Legna, Imyo rushed back to get Siegfried as well, only to fall into an ambush. Akuhei of the Sequence Intelligence Agency waited for the beastkin to let his guard down and used Leviathan to spear him through his soul. Imyo stayed alive for a time while Akuhei demanded to know where Nex was. Imyo wouldn’t talk, and Siegfried witnessed his guardian’s messy execution, leaving the boy horrified and catatonic. Then Akuhei spotted him and left harsh whispers in his mind of how Siegfried was abandoned and left to face this cruel reality of being powerless. His words proved too much for a young Siegfried and led to him burning the grotto completely in a fit of emotional outburst reacting with his Azure. Sapphire flames enveloped and destroyed the grotto with Akuhei’s laughter until Siegfried passed out. 
==CTS Origin: A Fallen Flame (2396AD to 2398AD)==
===Arc 1: Solemn Ember (2396AD)===
Siegfried was brought to Iwasu to become part of the Schtauffen family, learning it was why he was brought back to the NOS. In disbelief and rejection, Siegfried refuses to fight alongside his enemies, believing wholly that Nex would one day break him free. But when Lukain offers to give him the opportunity to grow stronger and perhaps change his life instead of wasting away while waiting for Nex, Siegfried takes the offer to be trained by his enemy in the hopes of becoming capable enough to destroy them from within. 
===Arc 2: Hateful Fire (2397AD)===
After completing his training with the Marshal, Siegfried is introduced to the Dark Glyph, to each of them, he displays his worth, using them as stepping stones to finally get the chance he waits for. 
===Arc 3: Rebellious Blaze (2398AD)===
Siegfried makes his move after every moment leads to this chance, but his flame is met by an even harsher reality. 
===Finale: Silent Ashes (2399AD)===
Apathy in his heart, Siegfried looks to his future as the Brigadier of the NOS, realizing that Nex is never returning and their roads are forever severed. 
==Pre CTS==
As the years went by, Nex never showed up, and Siegfried became more deeply integrated into a role he once only pretended to adhere to. Left with this as his only defining identity, he became resigned to it and stepped up to take his father’s place, thus becoming the leading name to the Schtauffen family serving as the world’s flame against its foes, and helping to establish a new World Order. Feeling abandoned by Nex, Siegfried’s former respect and admiration to the man he once considered a foster brother turned into sorrow and fury, and in that moment they became foes lost in destiny’s cruel spiral.
==Control Sequence==
===Verse 1: Purity and Sin===
In the second episode Siegfried was requested by the Marshall to be Reiga's battle partner. Taking place in the highly advanced Torifune Battle Observatory, to test the strength of their prestigious, "Azure Prodigy". Following a heavy battle Siegfried's victory is apparent, and as he readies to deliver the final, Reiga taps into his hidden potential and delivers a decisive blow. Thus ending their duel and with Reiga emerging victorious. In the third episode we catch a glimpse at Siegfried's fiery and anti-social temperament, Following his defeat to Reiga, Siegfried is given orders by Lukain to deal with Nex, and alongside Reiga is dispatched to the 13th Hierarchical city of Kagutsuchi.
After being dispatched in the previous episode, The 4th Control Sequence episode picks up after his departure from Torifune. Aboard the airship, Siegfried "converses" with Reiga and Akari. Getting a brief insight on how he views people, nevertheless he brushes both of them aside. Following an awkward silence he opened his mission statement. Detailing the exact course of actions that he should follow in Kagutsuchi. We learn more about Siegfried's view on following orders as well, and why he does what he does without a second thought. After their arrival at Kagutsuchi, Siegfried left on his own to find the General for his debriefing and further information on his target.
After splitting up from Reiga and Akari Episode 7, follows his exploration of Kagutsuchi by himself Siegfried while exploring the city he encounters General Akuhei. The two exchange brief words with each other, both of them showing their contempt for each other was apparent through their voices. Nevertheless, Siegfried still knew Akuhei had him beat and rank, and held his tongue as Akuhei told him about an "offer" from the Marshall himself, but nothing more is said of it. Back to their main reason for their meeting we find out the name of his target is, "Komyo Amatera" a member in the rebel faction LSZ, who is wanted alive for unknown reasons. With his objective confirmed, Siegfried sets out leaving the area in search of Komyo.
In Episode 8 we find Siegfried taking a brief respite from his search of Komyo. Drinking his trademark cup of coffee after a lengthy search in the upper levels. Upon hearing his name being called Siegfried looks up from his thoughts to find someone he'd never expect to see... Despite his mission being to capture him, he never expected to see Nex this soon or this quickly after his arrival. Nex exchanges greetings with Siegfried, but he refused to accept it as he still had a mission to finish. They continued to trade words, but the situation quickly changed when Siegfried had mentioned he'd joined the NOS. They were once friends long ago, but if any of that mattered it quickly was thrown out of the window.
The two quickly exchanged swords Siegfried wanting to prove himself, and Nex wanting to knock some sense into Siegfried and try and get him to leave the NOS. As the fight continued Siegfried's anger and resentment towards Nex began to show, further infuriating Nex, unable to take it anymore Nex sheathed his sword walking away in anger and disappointment as well as disgust. Siegfried still angry of not being accepted by Nex, quickly turned his anger on a building they had partially destroyed during their fight, completely obliterating the remaining structure showing a hint of his full power.
At the start of Episode 11, we find Siegfried still upset from his less than ideal meeting with Nex. Its during this that we find out a bit about Siegfried and understand his struggle. After having been denied by Nex, who turned cold shoulder to their fight. We find out that all Siegfried desires is acknowledgement and trust from Nex, who refused to accept his reasons for joining the NOS, instead of accepting his reasoning he still decided to treat him like the same little kid he was before. After a brief session lamenting and strengthening his resolve, his train of thought is interrupted by Komyo.
At first he mistook her for being a normal civilian simply trying to butt into his business, after shrugging her attempt at talking off, Komyo unknowingly revealed that herself to Siegfried. Who immediately recognized her as his target. After a short fight between the two Siegfried emerged victorious, taunting the girl on her weakness in battle. But before he could detain her Siegfried was interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious man and Sylar. This interruption allowed Komyo to escape, without a lead on her Siegfried turned his attention to chasing down and following Sylar.
Episode 13, picks up with Siegfried chasing after Sylar, but in the midst of the chase he is interrupted by Akuhei. Tension rises inside of Siegfried as he reports to Akuhei on Sylar's appearance and his chase, but Siegfried seeing his chance at answers about Nex slipping away. After finishing his report Akuhei, chides Siegfried on his failure to capture Komyo, but he shifts the blame onto Reiga who had a mission to capture and detain Sylar. Akuhei who was slightly amused with the idea albeit annoyed about Siegfried's failure. He then asks for permission on resuming his chase of Sylar, with minor reluctance Akuhei allows him to resume his chase.
After catching up with Sylar, Episode 15; shows Siegfried pressing the white demon for answers about Nex. After explaining his connection to Nex to Sylar he agrees to tell him what knows about Nex, but only if he can pass a trial and show his worth and skills. After a lengthy bout with Siegfried not being able to land a single blow against Sylar who was just about to give up, let his overconfidence get the better of him, Siegfried who manages to surprise him and then launching him mid-air.
Sylar then tries to launch an attack from the air towards his grounded foe, but this turns out to be his undoing. Siegfried unleashes the most powerful attack in his arsenal, Azure's Inferno Destruction with completely manages to catch Sylar off guard netting himself the victory. After their discussion about Nex the episode ends with Siegfried rushing off after an attacking force begins its assault on Kagutsuchi, disabling the barrier and causing the NOS forces inside of the city to spring into action.
Siegfried having just arrived at Kagusutchi, Upper level Entering Area 5, is greeted by the sight of the failing barrier, and a bloodied scene and a sense of heavy tension. After further exploration, he is greeted by a mysterious hooded-figure. The two discuss various topics, eventually leading to a small amount of information about his father, as well as the "truth". With a bit of information about the truth and his father, the Brigadier proceeded to make his way to the central area.
In the continuation of the previous episode Siegfried is found exploring the structures of the Central Area, in doing so he finds two people immediately irritate him to no degree. The Lieutenant Reiga and the Delta Four AIP Akari. Reiga is quick to question him for why he is in the area, Siegfried simply says that he is looking for someone, but is quickly told the force responsible for the disturbance in the area wasn't Nex. Siegfried quickly learns that the person responsible is Zaezel, a name of which is foreign to him, but he brushes it aside when Reiga let's it slip he had been in contact with Nex, instead of trying to capturing him he instead the two exchanged words.
Disappointed, but focused Siegfried recalls meeting a being similar to Zaezel when he was younger, realizing the danger was far more apparent than the Lieutenant knew, Reiga being the inexperienced one of the two told the Brigadier it was his job instead to handle the situation. The news of this was a joke to the Azure haired man who immediately waved him off, pointing out his lack of confidence in Reiga's abilities and skills. Reiga's curiosity getting the better of him, he trailed on grounds they were best left Untrodded, immediately provoking Siegfried's limitless ire. After a brief exchange of fiery words at both Reiga and Akari, Reiga immediately moves to defend Akari out of anger at Siegfried, but it was a foolish action that only ended in failure.
He then told the Lieutenant the harsh realities of the world they lived in, heroes weren't heroes simply because they wanted to be or were their actions heroic. Instead they were named heroes due to their abilities to subdue threats to the NOS government, as well as the false truth which each being under the NOS accepts without question. Shortly afterwards Zaezel makes his appearance, explaining that he was there looking for Nex, as well as the shared consciousness of "Remnants of Sin", explaining that he knew Siegfried from his childhood as Nex, but through the eyes of his fallen brethren. The first half of the episode ends with Reiga preparing to fight Zaezel, but at the same time Siegfried refused to lend a hand, due partially to Reiga's foolish actions earlier.
Continuing from earlier in the episode, The Brigadier still refuses to budge even an inch, despite the fact that Zaezel had made an appearance. At the same time Akari tries to use reason and logic to coax the two into working together, but to no dice, as Reiga once again steeled himself to face Zaezel alone. Before commencing with the suicide mission, the Lieutenant tries one last time to plead for help, this time after apologizing to irate Brigadier he agreed to assist him. Drawing his blade after clashing blades with the monstrous Zaezel due to Reiga's assistance he managed to get a hit him with his "Kasai" burning the artificial being's skin. After of which Zaezel reveals that the brigadier's azure potential was "pure" and not artificial, but straight from a trip into a cauldron. Another exchange insures one of which that leads directly into the revelation of a new and powerful move of the Brigadier's "Azure Moon" this powerful attack damages Zaezel severely, but due to his inhuman stamina he remains ready for battle.
