## Biography

Wilhelm Reiner, formerly known as Heinrich Kiesewetter, was born and raised in Cologne, Germany. He had a rather average childhood, made a handful of friends due to being charismatic. He aspired to become a physician one day, so when he came of age where he could begin his studies, he did so.

By his early twenties he had achieved his doctorate in trauma surgery and general medicine. Shortly after he met a married English woman by the name of Muriel Harlowe, who was visiting family in Germany for the summer. He fell for this woman almost immediately, and in turn, she fell for him as well. Together they had a scandalous love affair which ended in Muriel getting pregnant with twins.

Nine months later Muriel returned back to Germany to visit family once more, where she went into labor. Dr. Heinrich Kiesewetter delivered their children - as they unexpectedly had twins. Emelia, and Wyatt. Heinrich wanted to raise his children, but Muriel told him that he couldn’t, that she couldn’t go back to England without them. So, he asked if he could raise the daughter, and she could return back to England with Wyatt. She agreed to the terms. Heinrich raised Emelia for about a year before she tragically lost her life at the hands of a jealous lover, Rachel.

When Heinrich discovered what Rachel had done, it had set him over the edge. He wrote a letter to Muriel, informing her of the situation, and that soon he’d be a wanted man. It took him time, but he eventually tracked Rachel down, and with a fiery rage he had kidnapped her and brought her back to his home, bringing her to his private makeshift surgical suite he had built inside. For days he had inflicted slow and heinous procedures on this woman, keeping her alive for as long as he could, torturing her, punishing her, before she inevitably bled out from blood loss.

After murdering the woman, he fled Germany to the States, as the law had put a $5,000 bounty on his head for the murder and mutilation of the woman. While fleeing, a single bounty hunter caught up with him, and chased him until Heinrich reached a river. It was deep, and fast - and traveling through it was a very dangerous idea. But, he recognized if he was dead either way, so he might as well try. He pressed his spurs into the side of his horse, and his steed bolted through the water. When Heinrich turned around, he noticed the bounty hunter had stopped at the edge of the water - his horse refused to follow.

The bounty hunter hopped off his horse, and drew his rifle, aiming down the site and fired a single bullet before Heinrich reached the other side of the river. He missed him - for the most part. As Heinrich looked over his left shoulder, the bullet from the rifle struck grazed against the spur of his left boot, shattering it. Shards of broken bullet fragments and spur flew up, maiming him. His left cheek got cut badly, and his eye was cut through by the burning shards, blinding him immediately. When his steed hit the shore of the other side, he took off before another shot could be fired, escaping.

Heinrich performed his best medical services to himself, to ensure he didn’t bleed out or die from the injuries before stowing away on a fishing boat headed to America provided by the assistance of Muriel, after the letter he had sent her stated he’d reveal their affair if she didn’t help him. At that time, she was pregnant again - with another one of his children.

Upon reaching America, he changed his name to Wilhelm Reiner, donning a new identity entirely. He brought his doctorate over, and had to pay someone a lot of money to forge him a new one with his new name before he could continue his practice. Shortly after, Muriel wrote her final letter, announcing that she had gone into labor, and had his third child; unfortunately, that delivery had consequences and complications. Days later, Muriel had passed.

Wilhelm Reiner continued practicing medicine until 1898, where he was brought into the Spanish-American War as a field medic, treating injured soldiers wounded in battle. During the four months he was there, he ran into Dr. William Harlowe, who was another tending field medic, and his son, Virgil.

William told Reiner of his wife’s passing, which broke him a little on the inside. Not only was he unable to father his children, but he lost his only daughter, and now the woman he loved. He forced his emotions down deep, and only offered a small condolence to the Harlowe’s.

After the war, William asked if Reiner would like to accompany them back to Strawberry, and become medical colleagues. This was his once chance of getting close with the family - get closer to his kids - so he agreed. They returned back to the big city, where he met the rest of the Harlowe family.

For seven years Reiner worked alongside William, who was studying herbs, while Reiner continued with his surgical studies, and research. In 1905, William passed away suddenly of sepsis. In 1907, Wilhelm Reiner joined the Deadwood Valley Doctor’s Office, where he reunited with Leila Harlowe.
