Leistung

### Background

Founded on the principles and beliefs established in the Silver family birthright, Leistung originated underground when wealthy families began investing in the promise of eternal power. Eventually, Gideon Silver brought the Fascist political regime to light, winning a rigged election in Germany, establishing the party's foothold in world governments. Under Gideon Silver's rule, Germany invaded Estonia in the Baltic War with aspirations to spread their teachings across Europe. During the war, Commander Hans Schneider caught Gideon Silver's attention, and was personally groomed to lead Leistung into the future. Under Schneider, Lieutenant Royce Lehmann was unleashed, spreading terror across Europe. He destroyed villages and tortured war criminals, ensuring that Leistung's opposition was hunted for their beliefs. Due to some assistance from SilverCorp and Greg Malone, Leistung easily won the war and took control over several countries in the Eastern Hemisphere. With their combined power under one faction, Leistung has the military power to conquer the world, and plan on doing so with their allies at SilverCorp.

### Members

#### Commander Hans Schneider

Schneider was groomed to become Leistung's rightful Führer, joining forces with Gary Silver to fulfill the Silver family birthright and achieve eternal power. With merciless ambition guiding his decisions, Schneider is always looking toward the future, envisioning a future where the entire planet resides under one flag.

#### Lieutenant Royce Lehmann

Schneider took notice of Lehmann during the Baltic War when rumors about his ruthlessness and violence were being spread by the enemy during interrogations. The burn scars covering his face could only mean bad things were imminent for the enemy, making him the perfect figurehead for Leistung's powerful military force.

#### Dr. Elias Meyer

When other scientists dismissed the Eternal Serum, labeling it a theoretical impossibility, Dr. Elias Meyer created a prototype that regenerated cells. His scholastic advancements earned him unfathomable amounts of money, all with the intent on fueling his research and development into SilverCorp's top priority. With limitless resources at his disposal, Meyer dreams about one day controlling mankind, pushing him one step closer to godhood.

#### Dr. Redmond Zelig

The Zelig family has been taking care of the Silver's for generations, and Dr. Redmond Zelig is simply the next in line to continue the family tradition. He has grown up believing in Leistung and SilverCorp's mission, and is very engrained with the geopolitical climate that the world currently takes on. With dreams of a perfect world, Dr. Zelig will stand beside his allies until their mission is complete.

#### Gideon Silver

Bringing Leistung to light from the underground, Gideon Silver quickly became one of the most powerful men in history. With legacy families investing in his political party, Gideon had an incredible amount of pressure to be successful with his strides into government, leaving him no room for failure. Luckily, the Silvers have never been known to fail, and Leistung was a resounding success, much like everything the family does.

### Operations

#### Eternal Serum

According to the Silver's birthright, the family is supposed to rule the world eternally. In order to fulfill this prophecy, Leistung and SilverCorp must create a way to surpass the limits of humanity, inching them one step closer to godhood. Eventually, Dr. Elias Meyer had a breakthrough, and now, it is only a matter of time before the Enteral Serum is complete, granting SilverCorp and Leistung executives immortality.
