Biography

Childhood

Early Years

Born in a village in Coerthas' Western Highlands, Reinhardt's family relocated to Ishgard when he was a infant. Within three years they had been able to rise into the merchant class of the city and were doing rather well for themselves. As one of the first children born to the Beauregards during this time of prosperity, it was expected of Reinhardt to follow in his father's footsteps, but Reinhardt was more entranced by the stories of the Knights Dragoon than of learning about trade and markets. He was never without his favorite toy-a clockwork of Kain Highwind, and often gave his mother frights by jumping off the highest ledges he could find.

Against the wishes of his family, Reinhardt's father encouraged his son's interest. This would continue right up until an incident in Reinhardt's seventh year-when Reinhardt told his mother that he was starting to hear voices on the wind. At the same time he started to display signs of an emerging aetherical talent-primarily centered around wind-aether. While this would have resulted in Reinhardt getting a small degree of magical training in normal circumstances, the Beauregards were quick to tell their son to never speak of his gift-and furthermore, made arrangements for Reinhardt to be enrolled in a school for merchants' children.

It was after that incident that Reinhardt slowly became aware that something was very wrong. Late at night he would awaken to the sound of his parents arguing, or come down to breakfast in the mornings to find that his uncle had spent the night at their house. Oftentimes he was witness to his parents arguing in turns with his uncle-though he would remember that his mother often looked frightened and guilty. Friends began to distance themselves, and Reinhardt's father's business started to struggle.

The Mapmaker

Shortly after Reinhardt's eighth nameday, everything finally came to a head. One night as the family slept, an armed group of Temple Knights and Inquisitors stormed the Beauregard home, arresting everyone. The entire household was taken to the Tribunal, where they were held and questioned for several days. Separated from everyone he loved, Reinhardt lived in fear, and was questioned by the Inquisitors. It was during this time he would learn that his uncle, going under the moniker of 'The Mapmaker' had been providing detailed maps of Ishgard's defenses to Dravanian heretics. One such map had resulted in a devastating attack on Falcon's Nest, which claimed the lives of several Temple Knights and Knight Dragoons. Reinhardt's uncle had gotten wind of the impending arrest and had escaped...but now it was on the entire family to pay for his crimes.

The Beauregards were immediately ostracized, and everything they owned was taken by the Church. When they were finally released the family had no choice but to relocate to the Brume-and even there it was a struggle for them to survive. Reinhardt's mother was able to find work as a scullery maid, while Reinhardt's father became a field laborer. Reinhardt would try his best to help by taking odd messenger jobs-but more often than not the family went hungry, and Reinhardt could only watch helplessly as his parents began to turn on each other. His only solace was the labyrinth of wooden beams that made up most areas of the Brume, and whenever he wasn't working, he could be found scampering across them and practicing his jumps, learning how to follow the wind-trails that made their way though the area.

The Inquisitors were also not finished with the now-ruined family. Whenever there was a heretic attack on a convoy or a settlement and one of the Mapmaker's maps was found, they would always return. This only made life harder for Reinhardt and his parents in the Brume-now they were considered outcasts among the poorest of Ishgard's citzens. The stress and strain would also finally take their toll: Reinhardt's mother would die in an outbreak of fever when he was ten-and three months later, Reinhardt's father would fall of the edge of the Brume in a drunken stupor. His body was never found.

Teenage

Following the death of his parents, Reinhardt was placed into a Brume orphanage. He became known for fighting with the other boys on a regular basis-as he was often the target of scorn and abuse. He continued his habit of climbing the heights of the Brume-and it was his particular skill in that area that brought him to the attention of a passing solider when he was thirteen. The man was a trainer for the Temple Knights, and seeing Reinhardt's skill with leaps and jumps, thought he would make a good candidate for Knight Dragoon training. Within a matter of days, the needed paperwork was settled and Reinhardt found himself in the Congregation's school.
