Reinhard Steiner



Field Marshal Reinhard Steiner is a new character introduced in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away.

The grandson of Felix Steiner who was also Allegiant General Heinrich Neumann's younger cousin, Reinhard was considered a dogged but unimaginative leader in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Black Guard, often butting heads with rivals in the Coalition of the Red Star Joint Military such as Grand Marshal Norman Hofmann and Grand Admiral Eilert Salazar on strategic questions.

Nevertheless, he was a methodical individual, fond of creating and analyzing models about the activity of the Imperial Fleet. Steiner was among the few high-ranking generals who took the fledgling rebellion as a serious threat to the Empire—regarded by colleagues like Motti as being "distressingly myopic" on the subject of the Rebel Alliance.

At the age of 45, he has blue eyes, black hair, and wears a customized black-colored uniform.
