Rear Admiral Wilhelm Reich

The eldest child of the Reichs, an influential upper-class Orbital family, Wilhelm was charged by the Sovereign Karl Rothschilde to build a Heavy Mech powerful enough to destroy the Earth Federation Forces military headquarters of Jaburo. Granted a former Nazi secret military facility hidden inside of a mountain on the Tibetan plateau, Wilhelm began work on his dream project, the Archon Heavy Mech. However, Wilhelm was not given total operating freedom. Wilhelm was placed under the jurisdiction of Admiral Byron Carnarvon. Although Wilhelm used to be friends with Byron, Reich began to harbor a secret hatred of him because of his nonchalance and carefree attitude, especially towards the Archon project, which Byron viewed as a mere tool to be used by real soldiers.

Wilhelm has a younger sister, Uta Reich. The two siblings were always close and Wilhelm often pulled strings to have Uta assigned as the test pilot of his experimental units. Wilhelm also suffers from an unspecified medical ailment, for which he had to take an unspecified medication. His sister always reminds him to take it if it slips his mind. There is speculation that he may have suffered from Wilson's Disease.

Wilhelm drives his development staff maniacally, drugging the mechanics and researchers so they can work more frequently. Reich sees people as mere tools to be used to achieve his dream, the completion of the Archon, and recent intelligence reports indicate he stopped taking his own medication, leading to detrimental effects on both his body and mind. Reich's stolen journal indicates that he considers murdering the entire Archon development team so the newly completed Archon III would be his, and his alone.
