Background

Early Life

Gunter was born into a world where wealth and influence were the currencies of power. Raised in an affluent family in Lighthalzen, a city renowned for its fusion of magic and technology, his childhood was one of luxury, but also of rigorous grooming for leadership. The Rekenber Corporation, a cornerstone of his family's legacy, was not just a business but a dynasty to which he was heir.

From a young age, Gunter and his brothers were immersed in the intricacies of corporate management, magi-tech development, and the cutthroat world of Schwarzwald's elite. Among his siblings, Gunter stood out for his pragmatic approach and unrelenting ambition. He was not just content with learning the ropes; he was determined to redefine them.

As a child, Gunter was captivated by the vibrant gardens that adorned the grounds of his family estate. These gardens, meticulously maintained, were more than just displays of beauty; to young Gunter, they were a microcosm of life itself – a cycle of birth, growth, death, and rebirth that unfolded with each passing season. This early exposure to the rhythms of nature sparked in him a profound interest in the processes that underlie life.

However, this fascination was twinned with an emerging fear of death – a fear perhaps instilled by the premature loss of a cousin which left a lasting impression on his young mind. Gunter found himself pondering the fragility of life and the inexorable march towards mortality, questions that weighed heavily on his precocious intellect.

It was in the study of alchemy that young Gunter found a semblance of answers to his questions. Alchemy, with its blend of science, magic, and philosophy, became an obsession for him. He was particularly drawn to the alchemical pursuit of the Elixir of Life, a legendary concoction said to grant immortality, and the Homunculus, a creation of life through alchemical means. These pursuits symbolized his twin fascinations with conquering death and understanding the essence of life.

Gunter's early experiments in alchemy started in the gardens of his estate. He would spend hours tending to plants, mixing various natural concoctions to enhance their growth or to create new, hybrid forms. His gardens became his laboratory, a place where he could explore the principles of alchemy in a tangible, hands-on way.

As Gunter grew, so did his ambitions. The gardens and his rudimentary alchemical experiments were no longer enough to satisfy his growing thirst for knowledge. He began delving deeper into more advanced alchemical texts, seeking out mentors among the alchemists and mages of Lighthalzen. His natural intelligence and his family's resources allowed him access to knowledge that was rare for someone his age.

Gunter's early life thus became a foundation upon which his future would be built. His fear of death and fascination with the creation of life through alchemy would eventually manifest in his leadership of the Rekenber Corporation. These childhood obsessions would drive him to push the boundaries of magi-tech, blurring the lines between science and sorcery, and between ethical boundaries and personal ambition.
