History: Ansbach was always a loyal aristocracy supporter and served as Braunschweig's chief aide. Halfway through the Imperial civil war, he was imprisoned for questioning an order.

Shortly before the fall of Geiersburg fortress, he was released and met his liege again. When a despondent Braunschweig asked Ansbach for advice on what he should do now, Ansbach suggested suicide and "helps" his master carry it out. Later on, when surrendering, he presented the body of his liege to the triumphant Reinhard von Lohengramm as a trophy.

As he approached Lohengramm in the meeting room, Ansbach pulled a rocket launcher out of Braunschweig's coffin and fired, narrowly missing Lohengramm. Kircheis attempted to stop the assassination attempt and in the ensuing struggle, he was killed by Ansbach. Satisfied with killing half of Reinhard's soul, Ansbach then killed himself by biting a poison capsule before he could be captured.(Spoiler)
