Reputation

Reinhard is a forgotten legend on his own, he wiped out an entire lineage of Mekhet in his need for justice over the murder of his family. He is one of the oldest known knights of the Order of the Silver Dragons that still walks the earth. The blurring speed and stealth in which he handles his blades makes him one extremely efficient assassin. When it comes to death, Reinhard doesn’t make exceptions and treats everyone equally, because death is serious business to him even more so then for any other. He decends from a most noble and honourable bloodline, his sire is the esteemed Perceval Carey who is a childe of non other then Lady Rosemary Wroth. Though Reinhard has traveled a lot, lived in the UK for several periods in time, he never forgot his country and he stayed true to Flanders. The knights he trained were exceptionally persistent and effective in maintaining stability in his and their domains, which resulted in him being made Earl of Huldenberg. He’s a true invictus, sticking to old values such as chivalry with a fanatic zeal.

Others About

Helena van Kruysberghe of the Limburgian Ordo Dracul :"What's that you say? Reinhard Van Broeckzele? Surely he's nothing but a myth to scare neonates... I remember my Sire's coterie tell me stories about him as if he was some ghost. I refuse to believe the man exists untill I've seen him with my own eyes."

Damek Navratil :"The first problem is that he's a Mekhet; always hiding in the shadows. The real problem is when Deus steps out of the shadows, that's when you're in deep trouble. I recall a certain night, a few centuries ago, we had a little fight... For a Mekhet he can take a few punches, as well as deliver some, but take away his knives, and then you're in seriously deep shit. The knives are his Eden. You dont touch them."

père Marcus Dobbelaere of the Lancea Sanctum: "However sad, but he's the best thing that happened to the Invicti in these God forsaken lands in a very long while. I hope he sees all the flaws, not just the most obvious ones. Yes, I expect a lot of him, whomever knew him does."

Dokisha of the Circle of the Crone: "He seems to be a jesting man, the first time I met him he asked me if I were a "horny man". Appart from that I don't know what to think of him yet."
