Revision as of 23:01, 8 December 2006
Kemmerich is the middle "son" of Malvado and lead villain for most of the Rise of Malvado story arc. He starts off as a calm and devious mastermind, but slowly evolves into a suicidal, homicidal, genocidal madman. He was born with a mastery of flames. It is unknown how he received this trait. He is also a hemophiliac.
Childhood
Very much is unknown about Kemmerich's childhood. All that is known is that a piece of Malvado's soul that escaped from The Legendary Five found it's way into an unborn baby and granted it gifts. Kemmerich remembers growing up with his younger brother and sister, Ashton and Rosaline, and his older brother Zaphod. Even though they may or may not technically be related, they all share the same dark red eye color.
They grew up in the abandoned Destino Castle. Zaphod worked for the local mafia to earn money, but would not let his brothers and sister help. Kemmerich learned of his Fire Mastery when an enemy of the mafia came looking for Zaphod. He was often sick as a child and had to be treated by Rosaline. He looked up to his older brother and dearly loved his younger sister, but always felt contempt to his younger brother due to his arrogance and bloodlust.
When he was 12 he discovered the corpse of his father in a room on the highest floor of the castle. He then discovered more about himself and his purpose. He thought that if he could revive his father, he could gain some meaning to his existence. He was able to convince his younger siblings to help, but unable to sway Zaphod, who was now working as a legit mercenary. He wanted no part in Kemmerich's plans, which involved sacrificing innocent people. He left home, sending money to his sibling whenever possible.
During RPG
Kemmerich first appeared during the Raging Fire. He uses the fire burning the field to draw out his brother's killers. He then summons fire Elementals to attack them. During the battle he gives 17 Fire abilities and orders him to fight.
Kemmerich told many lies about his plans. He told Raiden that he wants to save the world and told Sylva a story about his mother to try and convince him to join his fight. He would often speak about his father as if he was still alive, but it was merely Malvado's influence inside his mind telling him these things.
