 General Information

**The Rose Bearer in the Forest of DeathDer Rosenkavalier Schwarzwald** (死森の薔薇騎士ローゼンカヴァリエ・シュヴァルツヴァルト, *Shi Mori no BarakishiRōzenkavarie Shuvarutsuvaruto*?) is the Hegemony-type Briah of Wilhelm Ehrenburg as well as his sister Helga Ehrenburg.

It originates from Wilhelm's cravings of "I want to become a vampire, invincible at night" and "I want the night to last forever", to exist as the immortal bloodsucker in eternal darkness. When activated, it changes the area around Wilhelm into night, as well as drains strength from everything around him, much like a vampire.

## Abilities

This Briah changes the area within a 500 meter radius around Wilhelm into night, regardless of the time of day. It even creates a false moon in the sky. Wilhelm is able to absorb strength and energy from everything with the Briah's area of effect, causing them to slowly weaken, rot, decay and die. If he focus on a target, he can increase the Briah's effectiveness, inhibiting the target's senses. He then takes the stolen energy as his own increasing his own strength, speed and regeneration. Wilhelm has no blind spots in the forest of death. He is fully aware of every inch of space in the forest and can teleport around the area freely. The Briah also enhances Qliphoth Bacikal, allowing Wilhelm to create spikes of blood in any location as long as it is in the forest. He can even summon them out of thin air. Wilhelm can also make himself completely undetectable while the Briah is active. He is not invisible, rather he just can't be seen, and even tracking his soul becomes impossible. By activating his Briah underneath a real full moon, he can increase its power.

However, his Briah's full power is only activated when used in conjunction with Helga. The range increases and the environment around Wilhelm becomes a forest of bloody roses and thorns. The forest is constantly changing and moving to devour its target, making staying in a single spot for more than an instant impossible. It also blocks possible all escape routes. The speed of Wilhelm's regeneration reaches absurd levels, allowing him to heal as fast as Wolfgang (the fastest member of the LDO) can injure him.

### Alternate Form

After losing all of his stored souls, Wilhelm had no choice but to use his soul as fuel in order to reach Claudia, who was in an uncontrollable Briah state. In terms of combat, it is utterly useless. The bloodstained rose that suppose to drain his enemy, now turns against Wilhelm. He claimed that he could not even launch his stake outside of his domain, which is very small in size. However, the night has a density of which it could block out Claudia's sunlight, even Wilhelm cannot sense events outside.

## Trivia

* The incantation is based on Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss.
* Der Rosekavalier means "the rose-bearer", while Schwarzwald is the name of the black forest in Germany.
