History: Siegfried's life is intertwined with Reinhard von Lohengramm's (for more information on Sieg's early years see Reinhard's entry). Sieg and Reinhard were two sides of the same coin. One light, one shadow.  As children, Sieg was always Reinhard's restraint, and Reinhard's sister Annerose made him promise to take care of Reinhard always.

Siegfried followed Reinhard to the stars and in 482RC he was assigned to a remote planetary base.   After their assignment they were transferred to Fleet.  (Side Stories: Valley of White Silver)

Two years later, as captain of a planetary patrol, he led an investigation of a grade-school murder case.

The next year he was involved in the battle of Van Fleet Starzone.   Three months later, he was promoted to Commander.

Sieg ultimately proved to be a very capable fleet commander, winning the respect and admiration of his men and even some of his enemies.

After the end of the Lippschadt rebellion, an assassination attempt was made on Reinhard's life. Siegfried shielded his friend from the assassin and was mortally wounded. He died in Reinhard's arms saying, "Tell Lady Annerose I kept my promise...".(Spoiler)
