Hailing from the Holy See Reinhold is the head of a minor noble house in service to House Haillenarte. Despite his two year disappearance, which left him mentally scarred, his recent return was well received after his vindication in a trial by combat. Yet as of late he has been seen more recently in Thanalan having become indebted to a young woman named Madison Brookstone for the help she had given him. In order to return the favor he has been assisting the Pathfinders Free Company in their endeavors. Even with the turbulent mood within the free company towards him he has, for the most part, always kept up his gentlemanly demeanor as is expected of a Knight of Ishgard.

Appearance & Personality

Nature & Demeanor

Nature & Demeanor

Demeanor: Reinhold is always a gentleman first above all else. He is polite, generous, and does not hesitate to help those around him if they let him. Yet at times cracks are seen in this demeanor when those in his charge are threatened or insulted spurring the Knight to action.

Nature: It can be said that Reinhold was born the perfect Knight. His duty comes above all else, never lies and views corruption with no small amount of hatred. His loyalty to Ishgard can never be called into question and those who earn his trust and respect can always count on his lance or sword.

Religion: As a dragoon and a noble of Ishgard, Reinhold is quite religious and reveres and follows the doctrines of Halone like most Ishgardians. That said he is also respectful and pious towards the others in the pantheon.

Notable Features

Scars & Markings: Reinhold has a scar running from his ear to his chin, as well as several severe scars on his abdomen, the pattern suggesting something rather large tried to make the Knight its next meal.

Voice: His voice a bit on the deeper side and at times can be rough, yet he always speaks in a polite and soft tone which masks that natural roughness at times.

Clothing: Outside of his home in Ishgard or his current accommodations in the Pathfinders Estate, Reinhold can either be seen wearing the Drachen Armor of a Dragoon or a padded mail shirt with gauntlets and boots. Inside he is often found wearing clothes more proper for a noble to be seen in.

Abilities

Strengths

Strengths

Due to his training as a Dragoon, Reinhold has exceptional strength and agility often times beyond that of normal men, though this is done through the expenditure of his aether. Yet even without the aether reinforcement Reinhold still has a natural strength to put him on an equal playing field with most fighters.

Weaknesses

Weaknesses

While Reinhold is able to use aether in the normal ways a Dragoon can for physical reinforcement as well as certain dragon slaying techniques, his over all prowess with aether is quite low. In addition his attitude and need to protect those around him will often cause him to sacrifice the advantage in a fight to see to their safety.

Combat

Combat

Reinhold has been trained to fight either with a lance or a sword and shield. His lance capabilities are on a mastery level and can be considered one of the best after his long years of training and preferred use. As for the fighting style used he favors the obvious style of the Dragoons of Ishgard, leaping above his enemies to deal devastating blows, or using aether reinforced attacks to overwhelm them. When using a shield and sword he adopts a different style as while he is a capable fighter with them it is not at the mastery level of his lance work. Thus he instead takes a more cautious approach, deflecting his opponents attacks and only countering with light strikes until he has his opponent's style down. Once he sees an opening he charges through it without hesitation and drops all pretense of defense.

Name (♥ ) - Trygil Reinhold

Reinhold's father Trygil led the Allemand family from the age of 19 until recently when illness forced him to step down in favor of his sun at the age of 59. He was a strict father that always pushed Reinhold to his best, but was always critical of Reinhold's choice to enter the service of the Temple Knights and later the Order of the Dragoon. His opinion was that Reinhold should focus more on the family and settle down with a wife of his own, but was forced to watch as his son put his life on the line constantly while not seeing him take much interest in the women of the Pillars. Now at the age of 62 his illness has almost completely robbed him of his life and currently lives in the estate not leaving his room.

Name (♥ ) - Emilie Reinhold

Reinhold's mother was far more caring than his father, and encouraged him where his father disapproved. Even when during his musical studies he showed an interest in the flute, more specifically music from outside of Ishgard, she did not stop him in fact she hired someone to teach him and offered them to stay within the Holy See as a Ward of the family. Even when he left to do what she thougt was the unthinkable, she never once told him to stop, but instead told him to follow where ever his heart desired. Now at the age of 61 she currently spends most of her time caring for her husband with his illness and is rarely seen.

Name (★ ) - Ebraux Pidame

Ebraux is Reinhold's manservant, and more importantly a father figure. Ebraux was assigned to Reinhold not long after the lord's birth, and thus Ebraux had a very influential hand in raising the man. Like Reinhold's mother Ebraux was always very supportive of his lord, and grew to become quite proud of the man he was becoming. Ebraux's never wavering support through the years has always been a source of strength for Reinhold, especially amidst his father's negativity. During Reinhold's absent Ebraux stepped up to ensure that very few knew of his disappearance and ran the day to day aspects of the family. Ebraux's only worry about his lord is has apparent loneliness, not one to take well to the way most women of the pillars are, and has grown increasingly worried as his charge gets older still with no sign of settling down. Yet he was no remiss when he saw his lord's affection for one who recently helped him and his done much to encourage Reinhold forward.

  Eddard Holt ●✔
  Reluctant Business Associate

Overview

During Reinhold's time in Eorzea Unexplored his initial encounters with Eddard were hostile and involved kidnapping the man. Yet now free of the control that had forced him to do such things the relationship between the two can be described as tense, and that is putting it lightly. Though there is a form of grudging respect between the two for their martial skill, they remain at odds at each other for many reasons./div>

  Pathfinder

Overview
His only interactions with the man have been extremely negative and hostile. They have resulted in repeated hurled insults and even once led to an armed confrontation between the two.

  Zigovali Rigovali ≈
  Pathfinder

Overview

Initially upon his return from the control that Madison freed him from his interaction with Zigo ended on a positive note with the man forgiving him his past actions while under that control. This was furthered when Reinhold saved him when he was attacked along with Madison during his training. Yet following a recent mission there has been tension between the two as Zigo no longer trusts the man after he lost his temper and almost slew an old comrade. This was furthered by Zigo questioning the man and led to certain things being said and pried into that left Reinhold angered.

His days consisted of martial training as well as other normal school lessons, though his favorite tended to be his music lessons arranged by his mother. His fondness for foreign music resulted in a tutor from Gridania being hired before the Gates of Judgement were closed. As he grew he showed a great talent with the lance, though he was also formidable with a sword in hand as well. When he came of age he wasted no time in joining the Temple Knights, despite the objections of his father. During his service to the Temple Knights he threw himself into the way of danger without thought to his own life, his only priority being the protection of his comrades and the citizens of Ishgard. This quickly earned him the respect of those in the Knights as well as others as he seemed to be more in line with the way of thinking of those who grew up in the Foundation. Many battles were fought during his time with the Temple Knights, but the moment that would propel him further happened three years after he joined the Knights. His unit was out on patrol near Steel Vigil when they came under attack by Dravanians. The fight went south for the group quickly and they found themselves pinned as a wyvern sought to make short work of them. As he had before, he threw caution to the wind and charged forward to meet the beast head on. He remembers the moment vaguely as adrenaline flooded his body and he reacted more on instinct than any rational thought, but in the end he skewered the wyvern and by doing so turned the fight around until the unit sent the Dravanians into retreat. Word of his deeds, and further deeds as more dragons fell at his hand quickly reached the Order of the Dragoons, which a year after his first kill offered him the chance to join their number. His time in with the Dragoons was one that he will never forget, as they fought without any regards to themselves, only the fact that they were the first line of defense against the dragons. Time after time he brought those attacking Ishgard down under his lance, and his reputation among his fellow dragoons became well earned. One time in particular remains etched in the memories of those who witnessed it. Reinhold and three other dragoons had been summoned to Stone Vigil, but they were so badly out numbered that the three with him fell and Reinhold himself was left severely wounded. When he finally came to at Camp Dragonhead he was horrified to learn that his comrades had all been killed, but his actions after that marked the first time anyone felt any fear around him. His anger had been so great that he seemingly shut down and stopped caring. Over the next few weeks he could be seen stopping by a blacksmith seemingly trying to get new suit of drachen armor. Three weeks after his comrades had been lost Reinhold set out once more, this time in a set of metallic blue drachen armor, and a lance of unknown make giving off the same eerie blue glow. He set off in hunt of the beast that slew his fellow dragoons and eventually he found it, and engaged it alone. Those that witnessed the battle are likely not soon going to forget the resplendent blue flames that lit the night during the battle following every strike of Reinhold's lance, even when the battle turned against him and the wyrm managed to get its jaws around his torso he did not give in. With sheer force of will he drove his lance through the beast's eye and all the way into its skull. Shortly after that Reinhold was given the task of training new recruits in the Order and saw less time in the field because of it. Then two years ago following a mission to locate a possible allagan relic he and those with him disappeared. During this time Ebraux kept running the house as if nothing changed, and even seemed to have found the funds to do so as well. Recently Reinhold returned to the Holy See and turned himself into the Tribunal claiming that he had committed acts of Treason, but did so against his will. While he felt that he was guilty of the charges he knew he needed to do something to preserve the honor of House Haillenarte and House Allemand and so requested a trial by combat. While victorious he still walks around with that sense of guilt and will stop at nothing to atone for his sins. At this time he is currently repaying a debt to a young lady named Madison Brookstone, a leader of the Pathfinders Free Company, by assisting them in their endeavors and acting as a body guard for her.
