The foreign man in front of Reinhardt did not seem too troubled by the fact that he was blind. Even though he was stumbling through the crows, bumping into people and excusing himself just a few moments ago, he seemed perfectly fine as he was able to stop in front of Reinhardt and able to look up at him, which means that he must´ve known how big Reinhardt was. This already raised some red flags in his mind, but he still decided to stay without and prejudice. He was no racist whatsoever, foreign people were of no concern for him. As of now, Reinhardt was glad that this man was able to speak his language, even if a little bit oddly.
Once the man started talking though, he seemed to speak rather weirdly, the grammatical structures of his sentence made no sense. But still the huge guard was able to understand what this man was trying to say, despite of his uncommon way of talking. The big guy patiently let Hendrick finish his sentences, even watched him picking up a coin and whatnot. For Reinhardt he definetly seemed like he was either not blind or just a strong person. After he finished talking, Reinhardt drew the conclusion that the foreigner was certainly blind, but somehow able to see at least something. Or maybe feel its presence? During the war he has met those kind of people, who are more than they seem. And during that time Reinhardt also learned to differ between strong people and weak ones, which is why he was able to notice that Hendrick, while unsure whether he was good or evil, was no simple commoner passing through the streets.
"A man without a destionation" is what he called himself, however that was not an answer Reinhardt thought was satisfactory to him.
"You call yourself a man without a destination. But there has to be some reason for your presence here. You see, I am what we call a Royal Guard. My job is partially to protect this town from any harm or danger. And to answer your question, all I see is an unknown person speaking in puzzles who has a surprisingly strong aura accompanying him. So I will ask you again, a little bit clearer this time. What are your intentions? I wouldn´t want to dive into any unnecessary complications because of any wrong idea I have in my mind. If you have peaceful desires, I´d love to continue our chatter while I keep an eye out on this district."
The old man kept talking in a rather cheerful and friendly tone, not showing any evil intentions yet. The only thing one would notice is the concern that Hendrick might be of malicious intentions.
After thinking for a second, before Hendrick got to reply, Reinhardt scratched the back of his head with one hand.
"You know, after reconsideration, that did seem a bit rude from my side. I have not even introduced myself. My name is Reinhardt van Adler, Royal Guard, sent to protect this city."
With a wide smile he stood in front of Hendrick, testing his intentions, as he reached out his other hand in front of him, ready to shake Hendrick´s if he wished to. Reinhardt realized it would be stupid to try to shake a blind person´s hand, however he already noticed that the monk was able to see somehow at least some things, which is why he assumed that this wouldn´t be a big problem for him. Of course, if he was wrong it would be quite emberassing.

Answering to your post is gonna be something too xD
I can´t promise that I can keep up that length since there is only a limit to what I can do without doing too much without any reaction from your side after all.

Now, the assignment for this day was over. It was by then, that Reinhardt started his journey to the market.
The past days were very chaotic and quite frankly, Reinhardt was sick of hearing these news. When the fight at the market happened
he was nowhere nearby as he was off duty that day and did not visit the market at all. Obviously he deeply regrets that decision, because otherwise he might have been able to help. Hell, he would definetly have been able to help. Today seems like it would become better though, despite the fact that the day started quite roughly for the old man. He stood up quite early in the morning, as he always does. Quickly picking up and putting on his uniform as a Royal Guard was almost routine by now, although his membership of the guards wasn´t too long yet. When Reinhardt looked into the mirror, he could only see himself as a confident, muscular man. Quite intimidating to anyone who was no good fighter. He really grew to like his new uniform. The white coat with its rather large collar did look quite impressive after all. It showed his status, though that was nothing of his concern.
Once he reached the headquarters for his briefing, he had heard stories of an attempted robbery and the fight at the market. Those news really upset Reinhardt, he was not able to do a thing. However his mood lightened up slightly after hearing today´s mission: Looking over the market to make sure nothing else happens there. This would normally not be a duty for someone like Reinhardt, but today they would rather send a stronger guard to take care of the situation. A simple,
"Yes, Sir!", was Reinhardt´s reply to the mission. Without any hesitation, he made himself on his way.

When he would finally reach the market, it was already quite packed with people. Despite the incident yesterday, there doesn´t seem to be too much concern within the public eye. However, saying that everything was normal would be a lie.
The huge old man simply walked down the streets, his giant hammer always on his back. There were days where he would not take it with him, but this day he felt he needed this extra bit of weaponry he had to offer.
Some attention was drawn to him, due to his figure and uniform but it was clear that he was no threat to anyone who had no bad intentions.
It really took him a while, but finally Reinhardt spotted someone who seemed odd. Reinhardt did not want to prejudice anyone, but there was a man whose uncommon outfit made him somewhat suspicious. On top of that, with all the experience Reinhardt had, he could feel that this person was not a commoner. He was a strong fighter. This hooded man wore robes and had a staff on his back. On top of that, he was blindfolded with what seemed to be some sort of bandages. Despite this, Reinhardt wanted to judge for himself whether he had hostile intentions or not. Which is why, the big guy just walked right in front of the monk-like figure to cut off his path.
"Greetings, friend. You don´t seem to be from here? Would you mind to share your reason for being here in our wonderful capital?"
Reinhardt spoke in a friendly yet stern tone, looking down upon him because of his size. Yet, he had quite the friendly smile on his face and his one still functioning eye was focused on the mysterious man.

Reinhardt van Adler

Appearance:

With Armor

Without Armor

Name: Reinhardt van Adler
Size:2,10m or 6´8´´
Age: 67
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Magic: He has high knowledge in Yang Magic, which is why he was able to survive for so long during the war.
Divine protection: None!
Personality:
Reinhardt, who used to be a soldier, is now just a veteran living his normal life. He has no intention to keep fighting on, and that describes his personality fairly well.
He is done with fighting and would rather just live his everyday life. He is a very sympathic individual and one may become friends with him quickly. Normally, this is how he would describe himself. However with recent events, he has started fighting again. Not because he loves fighting, but because he wants to protect what he believes in and those who cannot protect themselves.
Reinhardt likes to sit in a bar, drink a lot and talk with people who share their stories. Of course, a veteran like Reinhardt has quite a bit of stories to share himself.
Normally, he spends his evenings laughing and drinking with friends.
In contrast to his friendly, peaceful personality, is his sense of justice. Reinhardt always fought for those who cannot fight, he wanted to protect those who were precious to him.
His heart won´t allow him to look away if something unjust happens, which is why he stands up for those who are treated unjust.
War has changed him, and made him see that fighting is not everything in life. Overall Reinhardt is an honest veteran, trying to live as peaceful as he can, while protecting as much as he can while he is on Royal Guard duty.

Background:
Reinhardt used to be a soldier during the demi-human-war. There, he fought countless battles, mostly on his own. Back then, he was a completely different kind of person.
Reinhardt used to love fighting, which is why he signed up for the war in the first place. As a meele fighter, he wanted to prove that he could beat even magicians. One could call it bravery, but "stupid"
and "reckless" would be more fitting describtions of his old fighting style. Even back then, he was quite big for a human. He had all the tools he needed, to fight against magicians and meele fighters both the same.
A huge armor, combined with his yang magic made him a force to be recognized. Since he was also quite strong, a result of his lifelong training, he lifted a heavy and huge hammer, which was his weapon of choice.
One could say that Reinhardt really did enjoy fighting and slaying his enemies. However, while he loved fighting and killing, the war has also changed him.
Reinhardt saw so much blood, so many innocent people being slaughtered. Even a reckless soldier like himself started questioning the ethics behind the war. Was it really right to kill people like this?
During the following years of war, he underwent some heavy changes. The best way to describe it, would be with the story of Tony. Tony was his best friend during the war, he fought together with Reinhardt in the same unit.
Since the war already went on for a few years, Reinhardt was known and feared for his actions during the war even amongst his own men. However Tony was different. He was a simple magician, who enlisted himself to fight in the war because he wanted
to protect his wife and children back at home. Tony really didn´t have many strengths, very basic fire magic is all he could produce. During the actual fights he was mostly running and avoiding enemys.
But he was the nicest and most impressive man Reinhardt had ever met.
Their friendship truly developed during these years. However, in one of the final years of war, it happened. The weak Tony was brutally slaughtered right in front of Reinhardts eyes. There was nothing he could do to save Tony, but it caused Reinhardt to go on a rampage.
He tore right through the enemys, not caring for his own condition. As he returned from the battlefield, he was already half-dead. A sword stuck right through his helmed, into his left eye and he had burning wounds and arrows stuck in him all over his body.
The healing mages could barely keep him alive, yet he managed to survive. That day, Reinhardt promised to himself that he would protect those who cannot protect themselves. And that was exactly what he did during these last few years of war.
He barely fought in the frontline, Reinhardt mostly protected the healing mages who were fighting in the back from all incoming harm. Those actions have made him a respected individual amongst his men.

When the war was finally over, his actions were also recognized. He was personally thanked by the royal family, and granted any wish he wanted for his incredible protecting efforts during the war. Reinhardt´s only wish was to live a normal life.
Therefore, he was given a house within the city and enough money to live a casual life, like a common person, until the end of his life. However nowadays, with so much trouble on the horizon, Reinhardt has received an invite to join the Royal Guard.
While he initially wanted to decline the kind offer, Reinhardt actually had second thoughts over it. It was always his dream to be allowed to protect more people, and this would give him the ultimate oppertunity to do so.
Therefore, not long after receiving said offer he accepted it. Nowadays Reinhardt is a proud member of the Royal Guard, fighting for what he believes in.
