Biography
Reiss first made contact with Shimizu in the Northern Mountain Range outside of Ur after the latter left his party to brainwash the Monsters that lived there into being his servants with his Magic. Reiss managed to convince Shimizu into betraying his comrades by promising him fame and glory amongst the Demons if he killed Aiko Hatayama, as well as destroy Ur, and even provided him with many Monsters under the his command to complete this task.

After Shimizu and his Monster army lost to Hajime Nagumo's party 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 Aiko 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. This resulted in Reiss fatally wounding Shimizu only. Hajime managed to locate Reiss with his Demon Eye Artifact and fired a series of bullets in response with his handgun. Reiss was able to escape Hajime's attack with his flying mount, but both he and his mount were maimed while fleeing and had lost 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.
