Military service

A young admiral known for his offensive abilities, Adalbert von Fahrenheit served under admiral Willibald Joachim von Merkatz in the Lippstadt Alliance. After the death of Duke Otho von Braunschweig and the end of the Imperial Civil War, Fahrenheit surrendered. Fahrenheit was brought before Reinhard von Lohengramm, and was recruited as a Vice Admiral in Reinhard's fleet due to his excellent abilities. Thereafter, Fahrenheit loyally served Reinhard.

Fahrenheit admitted to holding back in his performance so as not to arouse the ire of his superiors. Consequently, the Goldenbaum leaders considered him useless and insubordinate. In the Lohengramm camp, his fleet rivals the Black Lancers in offensiveness.

Alongside Bittenfeld, Fahrenheit was sent to cut off Yang from exiting the Iserlohn Corridor. When their fleets were trapped in the close confines of the Corridor by a heavy crossfire across the exit, Fahrenheit ordered his flagship, Asgrimm, to the rear and covered a retreat, allowing many ships to escape. He was mortally wounded when his flagship was hit and died with the ship.
