Mittermeyer, Wolfgang

ウォルフガング・ミッターマイヤー

Wolfgang Mittermeyer is a rear admiral in Reinhard's fleet and, together with Oskar von Reuenthal, serves as one of Reinhard's most capable field commanders.
Mittermeyer is a commoner from a middle-class background. He first met Reuenthal while stationed at Iserlohn Fortress early in his career, and the two became close friends. Kind and caring, Mittermeyer has acted as a stabilizing influence on Reuenthal's self-destructive tendencies ever since. At heart a family man, Mittermeyer soon married his childhood sweetheart, Evangeline, and became a devoted husband, though their attempts to have children have so far been unsuccessful. Unfortunately for him, his humble origins were about to cause him serious trouble.
Mittermeyer ordered the execution of a subordinate for assaulting, robbing, and murdering a civilian woman. Although his decision was just, the victim turned out to belong to a powerful noble family, and Mittermeyer was soon arrested. While the nobles plotted his death, Reuenthal, desperate to save his only friend, met with Reinhard von Müsel (later Lohengramm) and offered his and Mittermeyer's loyalty in exchange for help saving Mittermeyer from the nobility and clearing his name. Reinhard, who had his own well-known issues with the nobles, readily accepted, and both were transferred to his command.
Nicknamed "the gale wolf," Mittermeyer is renowned for his boldness in warfare, his lightning-fast responses to changing battlefield conditions, and his ability to cover vast distances in a relatively short time while keeping his fleet organized from his flagship, the Beowulf. Under Reinhard's command, he is given the Beowulf as his flagship. Mittermeyer is an able strategist and a brilliant tactician, one of the very best of his era. He is composed, fair to his subordinates, and fiercely loyal to Reinhard, not only for saving his life but also because he genuinely respects his abilities.
