Early service
In January 793 UC (484 IC / 3593 CE), he was serving as a supply officer and commanded a ship which supplied Commander Reinhard von Müsel's cruiser, the Hässliche Entlein, which had been operating on a secret mission in Alliance territory. (RET: 'Chapter IV')
Admiralty
Ernst von Eisenach joined the admiralty of Reinhard von Lohengramm sometime after the Lippstadt War. (LOGH: 'Portraits')
He would play an important role in the Battle of Marr-Adetta, as he helped to take out most of the Alliance fleet.
His most significant manuever came in the Battle of Shiva, where he nearly wiped out the entirety of the Iserlohn Fleet along with Fritz Josef Bittenfeld. In that manuever, his fleet caused significant damage to the Flagship Hyperion, killing High Admiral Merkatz.
Personal life
Eisenach is married.
Outside of Battle, Eisenach rarely ever speaks, however, on one occaision, after the assault on Fezzan, playing a solo 3-D Chess game, Eisenach utters the word "Checkmate" out loud, startling his fellow admirals.
"That's the first time I've heard his voice!"
"I had no idea, he can speak?"
-Neidhart Muller and Fritz Josef Bittenfeld's reaction to hearing Eisenach speak
Eisenach is known to communicate with his subordinates with a series of hand signals, often whispering specific orders in a staff officer's ears. Though this pegs him as strict and difficult to please, one anecdote shows otherwise. At the start of Operation Ragnarök II, a young officer is assigned the task of bringing Eisenach his desired drinks; he is told by another bridge officer that one snap by the admiral means 'coffee', and two snaps mean 'whiskey'. However, when the admiral makes two snaps for coffee, the young orderly makes a mistake on this latter point, bringing the admiral two cups of coffee when he wanted whiskey. It seems Eisenach took this incident with stride, spending the rest of Operation Ragnarök 2 having "one cup of coffee and two cups of coffee". (LOGH: 'To El Facil')
Appendices
Apocrypha
