Michael Gelhart Schneider (Lords of Shadow)

Michael Gelhart Schneider is a character in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate.
==History==
Michael Gelhart Schneider was a most noble knight and highly skilled archer. He was captured by the Bernhards and imprisoned in the castle. He died there and vowed vengeance on its occupants. His spirit will only come to the aid of a true warrior.
That warrior ultimately proves to be Simon Belmont, whose mother, Sypha, convinces the spirit to join her son's cause, thus granting him the power of the Spirit of Schneider.
==Spirit of Schneider==
The Spirit of Schneider is one of Simon's two Spiritual Powers available to him in the game (the other being the Spirit of Belnades). It offers an offensive cover of arrows and allows Simon to complete certain tasks, such as manipulating a lever or climbing a tower, without being harmed and interrupted by enemies. As a type of Magic Power, its usage reduces Simon's magic meter.

==Trivia==
*This power is a reference to a character by the same name mentioned in the backstory for Castlevania (N64), who is the father of Reinhardt Schneider.
*The surname "Gelhart" seems to have its origin in a preview article from IGN, dated January 26, 1999, referring to Reinhardt's father. Some fan websites apparently took this surname to create a full name for the character, "Michael Gelhart Schneider", although this name never appeared in any official materials. Apparently, the development team for Mirror of Fate was influenced by this and decided to name their character/spell with this full name.
