Rieger
Note: This is an NPC on the Canberra Requiem VSS, it is controlled by the local VST
Appearance
Big and strong, he preferred to dress in the furs and hides of the vicious creatures he had killed in his travels, even when he held the Praxis.
Personality
An angry and bloodthirsty individual, Rieger was only held back by sheer willpower and, some suspect, mental control by his Covenant mates.
Information Known by Kindred Society
A former Prince of Canberra, he disappeared during skirmishes with the Society of the Accord.
In his time he was well known for his physical prowess and willingness to tear apart those who stood against him. He had a particular profiency with claws and a wide variety of animal forms he enjoyed using, he is known to find the humanoid form irritatingly limiting.
Of his brief experience as a mortal not a great deal is known, his German ancestry was obvious but he claimed to have been born and raised in Australia. No one really cared where he came from.
In general Rieger was an Invictus through and through, except for a strange friendship with Isaac Winter.
His Disappearance
The year was 2002, at the time Rieger was the Prince of Canberra. The nearby town of Cooma was taken over by the Society of the Accord, who flouted the traditions and literally gave the middle finger to any members of the court they came across.
Rieger initiated a purge, over a period of about three months many of the Society were killed and a few members of the court.
Between gatherings, Rieger sent a message by bird and ghoul messages that he had found the last nest in a farmhouse just outside of Goulburn and would meet the warriors of the court there.
When court members arrived, the house was a burning wreck, with piles of ash all around. Users of Spirits Touch confirmed that Rieger had arrived early, been spotted and given in to the beast of rage. He killed several of the Accord outside, then fought his way into the farm house. What happened after that is unknown, as the memories of the conflagration halted any attempt at Spirit's Touch. Checking around the property revealed Rieger did not leave the house.
No member of the Accord had been seen since, and at the next gathering a new Prince was determined and the court carried on.
Recently both the Accord and Rieger returned to court.
