Background Information
Karl-Heinz von Thielau is the oldest living member of the Von Thielau Family. He passes all his knowledge and values on to the next generations. Karl-Heinz is a strong man who was born in 730 A.S.. He joined the Rheinland Streitkräfte at the age of 19. Due to his imperial Mindset he was sometimes excluded by the older officers who were serving with their liberal mindset. Karl-Heinz and some other imperialist soldiers formed a group in the RM which had an imperialist officer at its head and they served the RM very proud on the RWS-Kaiserstolz. But they made sure, that nobody was excluded because of any other mindset. The requirement to be part of the RWS-Kaiserstolz crew was only a Rheinland citizenship and being a part of the Rheinland Streitkräfte. As the time passed by the soldiers and officers of the Rheinland Streitkräfte became more and more imperial again and soon they mostly called themself Rheinwehr. In the time around 770 A.S. Karl-Heinz had been promoted to Kapitän of the Rheinwehr. The former partly-excluded leading crew of the RWS-Kaiserstolz slowly dissolved and they moved to other Rheinwehr Capitals. In 776 A.S. Karl-Heinz took Command of the RWS-Kaiserstolz. He built up a new crew and gained a lot of respect for his staying power and the successfully rebuilt crew.
Around 799 A.S Karl-Heinz has already been promoted to Vizeadmiral, Rheinland got infiltrated by Nomads. Some of Karl-Heinz' crew members disappeared during a stay on Planet New Berlin. Later his wife Gerdrut told him about the Nomads she encountered in the Omicrons. Karl-Heinz decided to take the rest of his crew aboard the the RWS-Kaiserstolz again. Then he flew to the outer rim of the Sigma-13 System where the nebula prevented his ship being detected by Nomads. From there he flew covert attacks against obviously infiltrated Rheinland ships and attacks agains the Imperial Kusari Navy. He got to know about the End of the Nomad War by a old Crewmember who remembered Karl-Heinz' hidepoint. The pilot told Karl-Heinz that all pilots who 'disappered' joined the Order in order to fight the Nomad invasion. Karl-Heinz moved his ship back to Stuttgart and was celebrated by his family.
After the Nomad War Karl-Heinz was first questioned by the BDM about the crew fleeing to the Order and the Nomads in Sigma-13. Later Karl-Heinz left the Rheinwehr due to high misstrust and joined the BDM for anti-epedemic measures. He served the BDM as Kommissar until the Year 824 A.S where he finally got his pension and his concious to have served the Rheinland enough.
In 826 A.S., the "Aufruf zu den Waffen" reached Karl-Heinz once again. He decided to join the newly formed Rheinlands Marinestreitkräfte. The Großadmiral gladly acknowledged the integration of the wise Admiral who serves the Rheinland on his well known glorious Battleship, the "Kaiserstolz".
As soon as the civil war broke out in Rheinland, the von Thielaus showed loyalty to the Kaiser and the Kaiserreich Rheinland. Karl-Heinz is announced to be Erzherzog zu Stuttgart again and he was promoted to lead the Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr forces as Großadmiral. The KSS-Kaiserstolz now serves as flagship of the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr with Karl-Heinz himself as Commander of the Ship.
