Klaus Von Reinherz

**Klaus Von Reinherz** (クラウス・V（フォン）・ラインヘルツ, *Kurausu Fon Rainherutsu*) is the leader of Libra and young head of the noble Reinherz family.

## Appearance

Klaus is a large, red-haired man with a distinctive under-bite, green eyes, and side-burns. He wears a white shirt with a red tie under a black waistcoat, as well as black pants with brown dress shoes. He also wears glasses.

## Personality

Known for his gentlemanly composure, honest to a fault nature and unshakable will, he typically conducts himself in a calm, polite manner unless suitably angered, in which case he will lash out with a beast-like level of savagery.

Due to his nature, he tends to over-stress himself worrying for the safety of others (particularly Leo) and will often put himself on the line to save them, something Zapp and Daniel Law, a JLPD lieutenant, have taken advantage of.

An avid botanist and Prosfair player, his office contains several potted plants which, if damaged or otherwise upset, is a sure-fire way to anger him according to Zapp.

It is implied during Gilbert's injury that Klaus will not accept tea brewed by anyone else, though he is later shown to be quite adept at brewing it himself.

## Power and Abilities

**Superhuman Strength and Durability:**Klaus is easily the strongest member of Libra, able to go foe-to-foe with creatures of Beyond in a bare-knuckle fist fight and even exchange blows with Blood Breeds with little, if any, signs of injury. He is also the only one capable of standing up to Zapp and Zed's Master Raju, hailed as the 'Blood Battle God'.

In the original One-shot, this is attributed to his 'Curse' as a Blood Breed victim advancing to level 12, but in the main series, no mention of this is made. In the main series, it's attributed to his will to survive and protect others.

**Power of Sealing and Destruction:** Raju addresses Klaus as 'The one with the powers of Sealing and Destruction' through Zapp's voice, has no doubt referring to his ability to seal away Blood Breed Ancestors in addition to his physical prowess.

**Superior Intellect:**Klaus possesses a sharp, deductive mind which allows him to last for over 90 hours, non-stop, in a Prosfair match.

**Brain Grid Blood Battle Style**(ブレングリード流血闘術 *Buren Gurīdo-ryū Kettō Jutsu*?): Klaus' combat style, allows him to create large, cross-shaped weaponry from his blood to attack, defend and even seal away enemies. The Techniques of this style are announced in German.

* **Pattern 02 - Schrott-Schweisser/Shot Welder:**Used in the Original Oneshot, creates cross-like shuriken that impales the target, dissolving any Blood Breed on contact.
* **Pattern 11 - Wirbelsturm**(11式・旋回連突（ウィルブルスツゥルム） *Jūichi Shiki - Wiruburusuturumu*?, literally "Twisting Storm"): Similar to Schort Sweiser, it creates larger cross-shurikens and is capable of taking down the armored JLPD officers with ease despite being surrounded, implying it is designed for multiple opponents. This is called **Form 11 - Wirbelsturm** in the FUNimation dub.
* **Pattern 13 - Finger Greed:**Used in the Original One-Shot, a series of blows that cause glowing crosses to appear on the target's bodies, burning them from the inside.
* **Pattern 32 - Stechende Blitzattacke** (32式・電速刺尖撃(ブリッツウインディヒカイトドゥシュテェヒェン) *Sanjūni Shiki - Burittsu Windi Hikaitodushutehien*?, literally "Lightning Speed Lancing Attack")**:** This technique allows Klaus to create a lance mid-air that impales the target as it's taking form.
* **Pattern 39 - Keilbarrikade**
* **Pattern 74 - Kreuzschild Unzerbrechlich** (74式・絶対不破血十字盾（クレウズアンザーブレクリック）*Nanajūyon Shiki - Kureuzu Anzāburekurikku*?, literally "Cross Shield Unbreakable"): This technique can summon a cross-like shield. In season 2, it is classified as **Pattern 117** (117式 *Hyakujūnana Shiki*?).
* **Pattern 111 - Kreuzvernichterlanze** (111式·殲滅槍（クレウベルニクターランツェ） *Hyakujūichi Shiki - Kureuberunikutārantse*?, literally "Cross Annihilator Lance"): Self-explanatory. A large blood cross used to crush and/or overpower enemies.
* **Pattern 999 - Ewigkeit Gefängnis** (999式・封縛獄久遠棺（エヴィグシュカイトゲフェングニス）*Kyūhyakukyūjūkyū Shiki - Evigushukaito Gefengunisu*?, literally "Eternity Prison") The technique used to seal away Blood Breed Elders by invoking their true name, sealing them in a small crimson crucifix from which there is no escape.
* **Pattern ?? - Debunker Von Kreuz Zerg** (十字血棺掩壕（ディバンカーフォンクロイツザーグ) *Dibankā Fon Kuroitsu Zāgu*?, literally "Cross Blood Coffin: Cover Position"): It creates a coffin of a giant blood cross and prevents omnidirectional attacks which can not be prevented by shields by entering into it.

## TMNT X Pokemon

As being the strongest of his team, Klaus works with Leo and often give him advice on leadership and discipline. He also helps out during the most difficult missions.

## Trivia

* In the manga official translation, his last name is spelled "Reinhertz"
* The *Blood Blockade Battlefront Official Fan Book B5*reveals Klaus's height to be 201 cm, making him 6'7" and his weight to be 136 kg making him 300 lbs.
* In the manga chapter of "One Butler's Blitzkrieg" it's said that Klaus is the third son of the Reinherz household, implying Klaus has two older brothers.
	+ In the *Blood Blockade Battlefront Official Fan Book B5* while nothing is stated about his brothers, it is revealed Klaus is the youngest in the family and has an elder sister.
* Klaus's age was revealed in the Kekkai Sensen radio broadcast, to be 28 years old.
	+ The *Blood Blockade Battlefront Official Fan Book B5* later confirms this and states his birthdate is December 31st, making his Zodiac sign the Capricorn.
* In the Oneshot, Klaus was a level 12 Blood breed. This might still be the case in the manga, which is shown indirectly when he seals other Blood Breed by using pattern 999, by saying "...I hereby seal you. *Despise me, forgive me*, resign yourself. I take these *barbarous actions* to protect the human world." By apologizing and admitting that his actions are "barbarous", it may imply that he recognizes himself as 'the same kind' as the Blood Breed, or at the very least, close to the Blood Breed.
* In the Oneshot, it is also revealed his favorite food is liver, this seems to still be true in the manga, as in the chapter "*One Butler's Blitzkrieg*" Gilbert mentions in his inventory check-list, 18 gallons of condensed liver.
* In the *Blood Blockade Battlefront Official Fan Book B5* it's revealed that Klaus’s blood technique is the most strenuous of them all, and he uses the most blood out of all the other Libra members.
* He draws his blood using what seems to be a cross-shaped knuckleduster with a blade pointing towards his arm.
