'''Kevin Reikle''' is the praetor of the [[Soldiers of the One]], the second in command serving in the [[Monotheist Church]]'s training camp on [[Gemenon]] under [[Diego]] circa {{BCH|58}}.

Reikle takes part in the simulated hijacking of the [[Jump ship|suborbital transport]] carrying STO recruits including [[Lacy Rand]] and [[Odin Sinclair]] to the Monotheist retreat. Posing as a polytheist rebel of the [[Apolli]], Reikle gives the recruits an option: renounce the "[[God (RDM)|One True God]]" or be killed and tossed out an [[airlock]]. Unwilling to stand idly by, Lacy Rand takes action after Reikle chooses her for execution. As Rand fights, berating Sinclair for doing nothing, Sinclair takes the pipe from the bench and helps Rand; Rand beats Reikle with his own rifle after surprising him, forcing Diego to reveal the deception to the recruits {{CAP|Blowback}}.

Reikle later welcomes Rand and Sinclair to the STO and began his duties in the training camp, instructing a group of recruits in the subtleties of mortars {{CAP|Blowback|The Heavens Will Rise}}.

Witnessing her ability to control the STO's [[Black market (organization)|black market]] [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit]]s, Reikle, with Diego, enlist Odin Sinclair to execute Lacy Rand. When the time came, however, Sinclair turns his pistol on Reikle and Diego, revealing that he had been given an unloaded pistol. Reikle and Diego were unaware, though, that several other recruits, including [[Lexon]], laid in wait, opening fire and killing Reikle and Diego {{CAP|The Heavens Will Rise|Here Be Dragons}}.

== Notes ==
* According to [[Magda Apanowicz]], actor [[Christopher Heyerdahl]] was genuinely concerned that she might accidentally hit him for real during the scene where Lacy Rand attacks Reikle with the rifle.<ref>[[Podcast:Blowback|Podcast for "Blowback"]], timestamp 33:14</ref>
