History
Not much is known about Reiner besides that he served as "Stern Ritter Z" within the Quincy Tribe. During the Quincy Blood War, Reiner had the misfortune of crossing paths with Seireitou Kawahiru; an enemy that served as a Captain within the. During the conflict, despite being outmatched by the Shiroyasha's martial prowess, his special ability "The Zombie" allowed him to continue fighting despite grievous injury. Seireitou viewed this power as interesting and ordered his men to capture the Quincy. However, this wasn't for experimentation nor for interrogation. The Shiroyasha had no such humanity. Using reiryoku-enhanced ropes, he managed to restrict the man through bondage similar to that found in Sadomasochism; though, as it was described, with far less regard for the Quincy's dignity. His arms were tied to his back as tightly as possible, and using his ability to the Shiroyasha's advantage, the latter ripped out a part of his spine and reinserted it, loosening up the midsection to further tie up the man's hands, while designing a makeshift grip so as to hold the Quincy like a tool. The finishing touches were to break the bones in the man's legs and to tie them up in knots up near his crotch, so as to prevent him from regenerating them. The end result was the creation of the perfect human meat shield, capable of being sliced several times over without decaying nor weakening, allowing Seireitou to handle vast armies of opponents without fear of personal harm. Each time Reiner was used in such a depraved manner, the pain was excruiating, until even his ability could no longer maintain his life, and he succumbed to the worst of deaths. After his use as a shield was gone, Seireitou was said to have thrown his mangled body into a ditch somewhere during the conclusion of a battle.

It is unknown when Reiner conceived, but it is said that Giselle's psychological problems may stem from what happened to Reiner.
