Alfred Alois Winkler was an imperial vice admiral and Urvashi Base Commander. He was under Admiral Reunthal's command during his rule in Neue Land. The instigator of the rebellion against the Kaiser.
Early Life. Military Career
Nothing is known about Winkler's past, except for the fact that he was under the command of Admiral Oscar von Reuenthal and was later appointed commander of the Urvashi base.
The Urvashi Incident
During the flight to the planet Heinessen, Kaiser Reinhard decided to take a break on the planet Urvashi, which was then under Winkler's jurisdiction. On the night of the same day, October 8, 800, the planet's garrison opened fire on the Kaiser's guardsmen. In the course of this incident, Admiral Cornelius Lutz, who was covering the Emperor's withdrawal from the planet, was killed. (LOGH: 'The Urvashi Incident')
After these tragic events, Oscar von Reuenthal sent Admiral Alfred Grillparzer to crush the rebellion on the planet Urvashi and investigate the assassination attempt on the Emperor. After breaking the rebel defenses, Grillparzer was disappointed by what he saw: Most of the documentation had been destroyed, and Winkler himself was nowhere to be found. The garrisons that surrendered to the Admiral gave completely different reasons for the beginning of the insurgency: One of them claimed that Admirals Neidhart Müller and Cornelius Lutz were members of The Terraist Church and that they intended to kill the Emperor. In this way, Winkler only wanted to save the Kaiser.
However, in the course of further investigation, several facts came to light:
1. Alfred Winkler may have had a drug addiction, as indicated by surviving documents from the lazaret;
2. Some of the soldiers of the garrison of the planet in one way or another belonged to The Terraist Church. Winkler wasn't an excluding factor. (LOGH: 'In the Name of Pride')
However, Admiral Grillparzer did not report the result of the investigation to Admiral Reuenthal, which triggered a revolt in the New Lands.
After the Civil War
After the end of the civil war, Admiral Ernest Mecklinger decided to reopen the case of the Kaiser's assassination attempt on the planet Urvashi. After discovering the same thing, Mecklinger accused Grillparzer of two crimes:
1. Raising arms against the Kaiser;
2. Fooled Admiral Reuenthal by not giving him accurate information about the incident, which eventually led Reuenthal to start a mutiny against the Emperor. (LOGH: 'Die by the Sword')
However, the further fate of the insurgent admiral is unknown.
