## **History**

Born March 7th, 1907 in Halle an der Saale to the composer and opera singer Richard Bruno Heydrich and his wife Elisabeth Anna Maria Amalia Heydrich. Heydrich's family held social standing and substantial financial means.

Due to being surronded by music since youth he developed a passion for the violon, and this is a passion that he would carry into adulthood.  Where he always impressed people with his musical talent.

Ever since a young age he exelled in both academia - expecially in the sciences - and was a talented athlete. Who was most skilled in fencing and swimming.

He was often bullied due to his high-pitched voice and rumored Jewish anscestry. Which was a point of great discrimination in Germany even before the rise to power of the Third Reich.

After the end of World War I his town of Halle became a centre of civil unrest—including strikes and clashes between communist and anti-communist groups.

In 1922, when he was only fifteen years old, he joined Maercker's Volunteer Rifles and helped to quell the riots. And after they began to fade he was assigned to protect private property, little is known of his role in this, though it left a great impression upon him.

Soon afterward he would join Deutschvölkischer Schutz und Trutzbund, one of the largest and most powerful Anti-Semetic organization after World War I.

Due to the Treaty of Versaills hyperinflation spread across Germany, leading many to lose their life savings, the entire economy being disturbed. This effected all parts of Germany, Halle was not sparred. By 1921, few townspeople there could afford a musical education at Bruno Heydrich's conservatory. This led to a financial crisis for the Heydrich family.

### **Military Career**

His career began in the *Reichsmarine* in 1922, where he took advantage of the security, structure, and pension offered by the military. Which gave him insurance that he would be able to get by.

He was first made a Naval Cadet at Keil, though he quickly rose up in ranks, being promoted to *Oberfähnrich zur See* on April 1st, 1924, a *Leutnant zur See*by 1926, and an *Oberleutnant zur See* on July 1st, 1928, this high rank earned him great recognition, though also fueled his ambition and arrogance.

He became infamous for his countless affairs, and on December of 1930 he went to a rowing-club ball and met Lina von Osten, and the two quickly became romantically involved and soon announced their engagement. Though he was eventually discharged by Erich Raeder in 1931 for "conduct unbecoming to an officer and gentleman" for breaking an engagement promise to a woman he had known for six months before the von Osten engagement. He was charged  a severance pay of 200 *Reichsmarks* a month for the next two years.

He was officially discharged on May 30th, 1931, and joined the Nazi Party only a day later. Later that year, in the December of 1931, he married Lina von Osten.

He became head of the Gestapo on April 22nd, 1934, after Rudolph Diels surrendered his position to Himmler.

## **Die Morgendämmerung**

### **Karl Krafft**

Karl Krafft was a Swiss Astrologer who predicted the November 8th Assassination on Adolf Hitler, Thus garnering both intrest and suspision from the higher ups in the Third Reich.

He was captured by the Gestapo and brought into the Prinz-Albrecht-Straße, and had Reinhard Heydrich summoned in order to question him.

This is where his life was changed forever, as he was made aware of his identity as the Apoptosis of Mercury.

### **Expanding the Table**

He observed a fight between Wolfgang Schrieber and Wilhelm Ehrenburg, and seeing the destruction that they were causing he walked between them, striking both down and ending their detsructive skirmish.

He had everyone who had witnessed the event taken into the Gestapo Headquaters. Impressed by their might, he invited Ehrenburg and Schreiber to join the Obsidian Round Table. Along Eleonore von Wittenburg, who saw his might and pledged her absolute loyalty to him, and Beatrice Kircheisen, who accompinied von Wittenburg.

With Karl Krafft working with him he was able to introduce actual magic to the Longinus Dreizehn Orden, and turn it into a table of superhumans, for the Knights were granted Die Ewigkeit; and he quickly became a master of the Formula, being the first to achieve Beri'ah.

## **Interview with Kaziklu Bey**

He summoned the Obsidian Round Table to Welwesberg Castle in order to inform them about the disapperance of Valerian Trifa and the appearence of a strange anomoly in Katyn Forest.
He fought against Methuselah, and wound up killing the God of Darkness with onl a singular blow by Longinuslanze Testament.

## **Children and Death**

He had two children with Liza Brenner, these being Issak and Johann. Though Liza hid Johann's existance, so that he could live a peaceful life without connection to the Longinus Dreizehn Orden. Thus Reinhard went on ignorant.

On May 27th, 1942 he was attacked by Jan Kubiš, and was caught in an explosion, being mortally wounded. Supposedly dying 8 Days Later.
In the World of Dies Irae this was used as a way for him to vanish from the public eye. Devoting himself wholly to the LDO.

## **Wherwolf**

He says words of praise to Hitler after he took his life, a honorable suicide as the leader of the defeated army. Though he saw it as a lowly way to die. Naught but an aging man who choose death as an escape from a life of despair and shattered dreams, a far cry from the ideal of an Ubermensch.

He spoke about how the Third Reich was but a fleeting dream, but his Obsidian Round Table would last forever.

## **First Transmutation**

He, along with the Mercurial Serpent, stood overhead, watching the Attack on Berlin, where Soviet and German Sodliers clashed, while both were indiscriminately sluaghtered by the Apostles of the Obsidian Round Table. For this was the Day of Wrath, where he was to ascend into Gladshiemr.

After allowing his Aspostles to kill a large portion of the soldiers he stood up and called out to all that fought in the desolate landscape of flame and ruin that once was Berlin; and he began to speak, talking about the eternal cycle of the World, and the feeling of everpresent Foreknowledge. Telling them that they can escape this Ghetto of Foreknowledge if they join hiim, and thus every soldier commited suicide in order to be taken in Gladshiemr and escape the endless cycle.

Thus he had enough Souls to ascend, and he choose three of his most trusted, and most powerful, Apostles to ascend alongside him. These being Wolfgang Schreiber, Eleonore von Wittenburg, and Machina. And thus the five beings vanished from the material world. Reinhard leaving his body behind to be inhabited by Valerian Trifa.

## **Dies Irae~Common Route**

### **Chapter 6: King of Hallow**

He held auidence with Valerian Trifa, projecting a Shade onto Earth.

He asked Trifa why he belived everyone at the table feared Karl Krafft so much, considering that he granted them their power. He argues that it's due to his power and mysteriousness, which makes everyone seem threatened, even when he is the reason they have power in the first place. And Reinhard, taking advantage of the topic, questioned Lohengrin's loyalty to him and his sworn friend.  The reason for this was that Valerian Trifa's Craving was inherently damaging to Reinhard's own plans. Which put his loyalty into question. He assured his Lord that he was indeed completely loyal.

They spoke of the state of Zarathustra, and Cristoff assured him that he was progressing adequetly, though was yet to reach any exceptional levels. And wouldn't have a chance even against himself, much less to the Beast himself.  Reinhard decided that he wanted to see his friend's creation with his own eyes.

The Law of Gold began to spread across the World, painting it in his Colour.

It was ij this battle that he came to see Mercurius and Ren as seperate Divinities, in normal circumstances his power would manifest equally against Mercurius and his heir, though Ren was able to easily shrug off the attack and move in for a counter.

This was a manifestation of his gratitude and respect, a form of love against the adversary that led him down the path to the pinnacle of existance.
