Description
Eleonore von Wittenburg is a member of the Longinus Dreizehn Orden, holding Seat IX at the Black Round Table. She is counted among the Three Commanders, the leading echelon of the order, and is also known by her demon name, Samiel Zentaur, as well as the title of Crimson Knightess. Her devotion to the order's master, Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich, is unparalleled, positioning her as his most loyal and trusted subordinate. Over the course of the story, she becomes an Einherjar, an immortal warrior within Reinhard's legion, and is an essential component in the plan to complete the Transmutation of Gold.
Born on December 13, 1914, Eleonore has the physical appearance of a tall, slender young adult with pale skin, standing at 180cm tall. She has long, waist-length claret hair typically tied in a ponytail and violet eyes. A notable feature is the large burn scar on her face and body, a permanent reminder of a past failure. Her attire is a military uniform, often accompanied by a trench coat, gloves, and knee-high boots. She is frequently seen smoking a cigar.
Eleonore possesses a strict, sharp-tongued, and commanding personality, characteristic of her background as a career soldier and aristocrat. She is cold-hearted, arrogant, and holds a deep-seated contempt for those she perceives as weak or disloyal, with a particular intolerance for those who speak flippantly about love or against Reinhard. Despite her harsh exterior, she is not without a sense of duty towards her comrades, most notably showing a degree of concern for her long-time subordinate, Beatrice Waltrud von Kircheisen. However, her primary and all-consuming motivation is her absolute fealty and devotion to Reinhard Heydrich. This loyalty borders on fanaticism, and all of her actions are dedicated to the realization of his golden world.
In the narrative, Eleonore serves as a formidable antagonist. Her primary role is to act as an enforcer of Reinhard's will, testing the worthiness of opponents such as the protagonist, Ren Fujii, and ensuring the progress of the ritual to open the swastikas. Her backstory reveals that her zealous loyalty was forged through tragedy. During an incomplete activation of her power, she lost control and was engulfed in her own flames, leaving her body permanently scarred. Instead of reviling in her disfigurement, her devotion deepened when Reinhard praised her beauty even in her wounded state. Following this event, her disposition became even colder and more ruthless. Her key relationships are defined by hierarchy; she is the most trusted agent of Reinhard, a rival and superior to Beatrice, and an equal peer in combat to the other two commanders, Wolfgang Schreiber and Machina.
As a wielder of Ewigkeit, Eleonore possesses superhuman physical characteristics, immortality linked to Reinhard's existence, and the ability to regenerate from wounds and even decapitation. Her signature ability is pyrokinesis, manifesting through her holy relic, Der Freiscutz Samiel. In its Yetzirah form, this relic takes the shape of a colossal railgun-like artillery piece stored in another dimension, which she can summon to fire projectiles with destructive power rivaling that of nuclear bombs, capable of annihilating both physical matter and souls. She can also summon a variety of other World War II era weaponry, such as rifles and mines, and generate flames from thin air to create attacks like spears of fire or inescapable infernos. Her true power is unleashed in her Beri'ah, Muspellsheim Laevateinn. This ability manifests her desire to burn eternally in the glow of gold, transporting her target into an inescapable, reality-warped realm of ceaseless hellfire within the barrel of her cannon. In this space, her flames endlessly expand to pursue the target, ignoring any conventional resistance to fire or heat. Throughout the conflicts in Dies irae, Eleonore is portrayed as a brilliant tactician with over sixty years of combat experience, capable of holding her own against the other commanders and predicting the movements of incredibly fast opponents.
