History:	Reinhard was born to a poor noble family. His mother died saving the life of both he and his sister when they were very young. Annerose helped the young Reinhard cope with this loss and took his mothers place. When his sister was sixteen, she was taken away from the three member family by the Kaiser as a concubine. Reinhard confronted his father, discovering that he had sold her to the Kaiser. The young Reinhard was furious , "The Royals always take what they want!". Later that night, with his friend Siegfried Kircheis, he tried to liberate her but a case of mistaken identity foiled his plan. On a grassy knoll, staring at the sky, Reinhard vowed to free his sister and bring the Goldenbaum Aristocracy to and end. As teenagers, Reinhard and his friend joined the Imperial Army. Reinhard's plan was to become so powerful in the armed forces that he could free his sister and topple the aristocracy. In 482RC, he was stationed on a remote planetary base with Siegfried Kricheis. After which they were transferred to Fleet. (Side Stories: Valley of White Silver). In 483RC, as a Lieutenant Commander, Reinhard was given command of El Murant II stationed at the Iserlohn Fortress (before the Hydrometal was added). During this time, the Free Planets launched the Fifth Iserlohn Offensive, nearly succeeding in capturing the fortress. At age 18 (485RC), Commodore Müsel fought in the battle of Van Fleet Starzone earning him a promotion to Rear Admiral. Six months later, he fought the Free Planets Alliance during the 6th Iserlohn Assault resulting in a promotion to Vice Admiral. (This is now documented in a new series of "side-stories".) After winning a battle against the Free Planets at Tiamat, he was promoted once again and earned the respect from his superiors, who had always felt that he only rose to power since the Kaiser favored his sister. It should be noted, that the battle at Tiamat was not a total victory, due to the intervention of Yang Wen-Li of the Free Planets Alliance. In the months that followed, Reinhard changed his name, discarding the shameful "Müsel" name for a new lineage. (see "Overture to a New War") He gained more and more power and finally was able to free his sister, ironically, when the Kaiser died. Reinhard continued to grab power and became commander-in-chief of the Imperial Space Fleet, which cost him his friend's life and his sister's love. Reinhard, having fulfilled his childhood vows, made a new one, to end the 150-year long war. Also appears in the OAV "Golden Wings".and in various Side Stories.
