Reinhard Traugott Stanislaus Walkenhorst (17 March 1868 – 16 November 1954) was a prominent general officer of the Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance. Considered a military prodigy, whereby displaying his proficiency in strategic planning, he had graduated as a major in military academy. In the middle years of his career, he had commanded the Imperial East Europan Hindalesian Legion, which fought during the First Europan War and participated in one of the greatest military rivalries in history, against Klanlain Auchinleck. In the last years, he commanded the Imperial Army in the Estharian Civil War, to which he was sacked due to a scandal.
Walkenhorst was held with high regard within the Imperial military and the royal court, but disagreements with Maximillian I and his treatment with the Darscen people had led to his fleeting reputation. Eventually, during the Estharian Civil War, an affair with his Darscen secretary Nitzana Bajraktarević, he was condemned for being a "Darscen-lover," and he was sacked as the commanding officer. Reluctant to continue residing in his home country, he traveled to Hindalesia and dwelled in his residence in Prabukaraya. During the Second Europan War, he was granted special privilege by the Imperial Quenminese Army and remained untouched, though he protected and saved ethnic Hindalesians from Quenminese atrocities which strained his relations. After the war, he was visited by a representative of Maximillian I where he was offered to return unscathed, but declined. He died in his residence on 16 November 1954.
