[edit] History
Reinhardt was an Immortal rival to Duncan Macleod for many centuries. Their first encounter took place outside of Dover, Kent, in the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1728. He had stopped the coach Duncan was in to rob its passengers. After sensing another Immortal, Duncan, he promptly challeged him. The fight, however, proved indecisive.
Not much is known about their rivalry until 1988. At the time, Duncan was retired from The Game. However in a private party celebrating the New Year's Eve he encountered Reinhardt. Reinhardt challeged Duncan and he had no choice but to fight with him on the top of the building. At the time, Reinhardt was a ruthless businessman on Wall Street and was indited for swindling money from people. To avoid going to jail, he faked his death during his fight with MacLeod by falling from the building into water and disappearing. Duncan took Reinhart's sword, and stuck it in a flower pot, before donning his jacket and returning to Tessa Noël before the new year arrived. News of Reinhardt's disappearance scattered and his girlfriend Rebecca Lord, who did not know that Reinhardt was Immortal, thought him to be dead.
In 1992, she discoverd that Duncan Macleod was in possession of Reinhardt's sword. Seeking revenge for the apparent death of her lover, Rebecca played with him before she attempted to kill him with Reinhardt's sword. Rebecca knew nothing of Immortals or their combat, and she believed MacLeod murdered Reinhardt. Unbeknownst to her, Reinhardt was still alive, and was using Rebecca in a cat and mouse game to draw out MacLeod for their final confrontation. When Richie disappeared, Duncan, thinking Rebecca had kidnapped him, went to her house to confront her. In fact, it had been Reinhardt who kidnapped Richie: it was time for the final showdown. When Duncan arrived, Rebecca started to fight with him, accusing him of having killed her lover, while Duncan tried to tell her Reinhardt was alive. Outside the house, Reinhardt apparently saw Duncan kill Rebecca and revealed himself. However, Rebecca was faking her death: she had believed Duncan. Finally, Reinhardt and Macleod started their final confrontation. In the end, Reinhardt lost the fight and his head.
