Franz [Male Aggron]: Franz was caught by Reinhardt as an Aron when he decided to start traveling the world as a knight. Under Reinhardt, he was trained to protect the weak and serve justice, traits the Pokémon displays alongside his trainer. The Iron Armor Pokémon often puts himself on the front when it comes to a battle as a human shield for those he protects. Reinhardt is proud to have Franz as a companion with the two usually being seen together. Ability: Sturdy Moves: Dragon Claw, Protect, Iron Defense, Rock Tomb, Roar, Take Down, Iron Tail, Iron Head, Bulldoze Balderich [Male Stoutland]: Balderich was befriended by Reinhardt as a Lillipup and named in memory of his late mentor. Unlike the rest of his companions, who are more than ready to fight, he is peaceful in nature, choosing to try to be friendly before entering a battle. Due to his nature, the Big-Hearted Pokémon is kept out of his Poké Ball and is usually seen by his trainer's feet. Balderich has been one of Reinhardt's longest companions and enjoys his company greatly. Ability: Scrappy Moves: Play Rough, Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Crunch, Roar, Take Down, Work Up Wayland [Golurk]: Wayland was discovered by Reinhardt while exploring the ruins of a castle during his travels as a knight. It is an ancient Pokémon, being the oldest of his trainer's Pokémon, and is an enigma. Unless given an order by its commander, the Automaton Pokémon will remain inactive and stand completely still. Reinhardt hopes to unlock the mystery behind Wayland in hopes of being able to understand it better. Ability: Iron Fist Moves: Heavy Slam, Shadow Punch, Iron Defense, Magnitude, Mega Punch, Dynamic Punch, Night Shade, Focus Punch Heinrich [Male Aegislash]: Reinhardt found Heinrich while exploring the same ruins he found Wayland in, and after a fierce battle, claimed him as part of his team. While the rest of his companions focus on defense, he prefers to take an offensive approach to battle to strike down his opponents swiftly. The Royal Sword Pokémon will not hesitate to leave behind others to secure victory. Despite their differences in thinking, Reinhardt is often seen fighting alongside Heinrich without complaint in battle. Ability: Stance Change Moves: King's Shield, Fury Cutter, Shadow Sneak, Power Trick, Night Slash, Iron Head, Aerial Ace, Sacred Sword Gotz [Male Escavalier]: Gotz was taken in by Reinhardt as a Karrabast and has trained under him in a manner similar to a squire. He is a frail and timid yet seeks to live a life of honor such as his trainer does. In battle, the Calvary Pokémon is hesitant, often questioning his actions in battle. Reinhardt believes that given some time and training, Gotz will become a great knight and companion. Ability: Overcoat Moves: Twinneedle, Iron Defense, Iron Head, Swords Dance, Fury Attack, Reversal, X-Scissor Fafnir [Male Salamence]: Before Reinhardt and his Pokémon bested him in battle, Fafnir was a powerful wild Pokémon that terrorized a small and isolated town. He is brutal in battle, not holding back regardless of who his opponent is. The Dragon Pokémon has no master and does not bother to even listen to the commands of his trainer. Reinhardt captured Fafnir for two reasons: to ensure his damage is kept minimal and to bring out the good in him. Ability: Intimidate Moves: Dragon Claw, Fly, Scary Face, Flamethrower, Crunch, Zen Headbutt, Dragon Breath, Steel Wing

Reinhardt stands at six feet and four inches and weights around 220 pounds with a bulky build. His bulk along with his visible age, shown by his white hair and hardened face, could surprise those he meets. His skin is fair, his white hair reaches down to the back of his neck and he has grown a short beard and mustache. His right eye is a deep blue while his left eye is completely white, a short scar covering it from his forehead to underneath the eye.
When not donned in his armor, Reinhardt wears simple clothing. To start off, he wears a gray tank top that shows off his muscles and chest hair. This is followed by brown pants with a belt and black military boots. On the left side of his belt he keeps a small hammer for when someone tries to catch him off-guard. On the right side of his belt is a pouch where he stores his Poké Balls for safekeeping and accessibility. His armor is composed of stainless steel and covers his from his shoulders to his feet with a barbute-styled helmet to protect his head.

Reinhardt is a man of action, and even long past his prime, will not hesitate to jump back into the fray whenever he is called upon. He will not tolerate inaction of any kind among his allies. Honor and justice were two traits that were drilled into him during his youth and he continues to live by them today. Although he is the type to jump into battle, he fights defensively, especially when surrounded by his comrades, finding the need to protect them.
Reinhardt is never afraid to speak his mind, ranging from high praises to harsh criticisms. When with his friends and comrades, he is jolly and encouraging them to keep at it. To his enemies and opponents, his playful character goes away as he will harshly taunt them. A flaw of Reinhardt's is his stubborness as he will refuse to back down whenever he takes up a cause. Reinhardt is a true knight at hart and will follow a code of chivalry whenever he can.

- There is still more to my tale!

Reinhardt was born in Stuttgart, Germany, to Lothar and Petra Wilhelm. Early on in his childhood, his father passed away from sickness, leaving his mother to fend for the family of two. This would not last long as Balderich von Adler, a colonel and close friend of Lothar, decided to look after the Willhelm family in honor of his late friend. In time, Reinhardt would look up to the man who took him and his mother in, seeing him as a second father of sorts.
Mostly, Reinhardt had a normal childhood, although one event stood out to him that would affect the path he took. Shortly after turning 13, Balderich began to teach the young boy concepts such as honor, justice and chivalry. He spoke tales of glorious knights who traveled the land, defending the common folk. Inspired by the tales, the young Reinhardt decided to hold himself as a knight would. Yet, with the world in a more modern age, knights had become irrelevant.
Turning 18, Reinhardt enlisted in the military, and after completing officer's training, was made a lieutenant. Being in a time of peace, there was little fighting, but he proved himself as a capable leader time and time again. He treated both his superiors and his subordinates with respect, taking the teachings of Balderich to heart. Throughout his military service, Reinhardt proved himself as an ideal commander and had no plans of leaving.
Unfortunately, after over two decades of military service, Reinhardt went through mandatory retirement, which greatly displeased him. To make matters worst, Balderich passed away soon after of natural causes, leaving his old student with no one to turn to back home. After much thought, Reinhardt decided that with nothing else to do, he would live life as the knights of old did. Spending his remaining money on a suit of armor and steel mace, he left home, joined by his first two Pokémon: Franz and Balderich, named after his late mentor.
Reinhardt spent years traveling across the world, always willing to lend a helping hand to any he encounters. Through his good deeds, word of his name spread as he continued to befriend all kinds of people. During his journey, more Pokémon joined his team. In the ruins of a castle in Kalos, Reinhardt discovered and claimed Wayland and Heinrich. In Unova, he took on Gotz as a squire to mold into a great hero. In Hoenn, he fought against Fafnir and captured him as a show of mercy. These are only a few of his many adventures.
Recently, Reinhardt has joined up with the militia in Opelucid City, ready to help protect the world from the Darkness. Working with Drayden, he works on keeping the city safe. With the money he makes working for the militia, Reinhardt plans on investing in new gear with technology making his hammer and armor nearly obsolete. Even though he is long past his prime, he intends to keep on fighting until his last breath, as any knight would do in his place.

Weapons_________________________________________________ └-Weapon and munitions.
Steel Greathammer: Reinhardt wields a simple, steel greathammer in battle. Although commonly used with both hands, he is able to wield it with a single hand given his bulk so that he can make use of a shield. If given a chance, he will try to use it to make his opponent unable to battle rather than outright kill, even though the latter option is more simpler.
Armor___________________________________________________ └-Armor, shielding, and wearables.
Armor Suit: Reinhardt is always seen wearing his armor when he is on duty. Due to his size, there are few who can fit into it like he can. Although it is out of this time, he is quite fond of it and strives to keep it clean and spotless.
Shield: Reinhardt makes use of a small, knightly shield to protect civilians and comrades alike. Engraved on the face of it is the Wilhelm coat of arms: a roaring golden lion. He rarely uses the shield as a bashing weapon since he prefers to fight defensively.
