Biography
Reiss first made contact with Shimizu in the mountains north of Ur after Shimizu left his party in order to use his magic to brainwash the monsters that lived there into being his servant. Reiss managed to convince Shimizu into betraying his comrades by promising him fame and glory amoungst the demons if he killed Aiko Hatayama, as well as destroy Ur. Reiss also provided him with many different monsters under the demons' control in order to aid in his new mission.

After Shimizu and his monster army lost to Hajime Nagumo and his companions and was captured by him, he managed to grab Aiko and use her as a hostage. Reiss was watching from afar and had attempted to kill her with a magic attack while everyone was distracted, but was thwarted when Hajime's companion Shea Haulia sensed the impending attack with her Skill "Future Sight" and pushed Aiko out of the way before it could strike her. Reiss was only successful in fatally wounding Shimizu as a result. Hajime managed to locate Reiss with his Demon Eye Artifact and fired a series of shots against the demon with his handgun. Reiss managed to escape Hajime's attack with his flying mount, but the attack did maim both him and his mount and caused him to lose one of his arms. As a result of his injuries, Reiss was discharged from active duty in the demons' army and would never be able to fight again.
