[edit] Trivia
- His soul is one of four souls needed to restore power to the Tangil stone. He is the Genkujyukon (the brown pearl soul).
- He can be seen in the San Francisco background in ST.
- His name is faux-german for non-stop victory.
- He is one of the first fighting game characters to possess a three-part move, more important, his is not performed by simply repeating the command three times as each part is different from the rest. He may be the first to possess this type of chain.
- The boss enemy Godhand from the Shadow Hearts series (specifically Covenant, the second game) bears a strong resemblance to him, and may have been based on his design.
- Sieger's moveset has one of the very first appearances of a "multi-part" special move combo... which would later becomes hugely apparent through the King of Fighters series (also by SNK) in later games. The huge difference between his and the original "multi-part" (belonging to Street Fighter 2's Fei Long) was that each move had a different command.
