Siegfried

"Siegfried' (ジークフリート, Jīkufurīto'') is a missing-nin from Konohagakure and the sub-leader of the Akatsuki.

Background
The background of Siegfried is very brief; he was extremely proficient in the field of taijutsu at a young age while his usage of nin and genjutsu was limited. As he further developed into a shinobi, he awakened his Sharingan and upon learning of the Uchiha Clan’s ‘true’ power, murdered his best friend in order to obtain the Mangekyō Sharingan. This action caused him to be excommunicated from the clan, beneficial for him of course as he was not present within the district and was thus, not killed by Itachi or Madara. To further enhance his physical capabilities he learned how to open the Eight Celestial Gates from the Leaf shinobi, Might Guy, of which he would further develop and become extremely proficient in opening at a later date. Following his graduation from the local academy he realised upon training his usage of ninjutsu the heritage of his own person – that he possessed the unique Kekkei Genkai, Ice Release due to his father having been a member of the Yuki clan. When Siegfried became a member of the village’s special division, the ANBU Black Ops, he was already in possession of four elemental chakra affinities as well as a master of Hachimon Tonkō, earning him the moniker of the Leaf Village’s Celestial Flame (天の炎, Ten no Honoo) due to his fighting style of cloaking body parts in veils of chakra top enhance the damage dealt, as well as inflict multiple status ailments on the victim(s) whilst remaining virtually invincible in close range combat.
