Zigfried von Schroeder

Zigfried von Schroeder is the CEO of Schroeder Corporation, a rival of Kaiba Corporation. As the champion of Europe, he participates in Kaiba's KC Grand Championship under the name "Zigfried Lloyd" (Sieg Lloyd; ジーク・ロイド Jīku Roido). He is Leon von Schroeder's (Leonhart von Schroider) older brother. Zigfried seeks to take down KaibaCorp as revenge because he feels that Seto Kaiba stole his plans for holographic dueling technology (in the Japanese version, it is because Kaiba's project was accepted before he arrived to display his own technology). He comes across as arrogant and vain, but he has a kind side, as evidenced by how regretful he feels at the end of the arc for making Leon help him with his plot. He genuinely loves his brother, as Seto loves Mokuba. At the end of the anime, he is seen making a business deal with Maximillion Pegasus (Pegasus J. Crawford).Zigfried plays a Valkyrie deck, the concept of which is derived from Norse mythology. By combinging his three Goddess Spell cards with Nibelung's Ring, he is able to gradually destroy his opponent's deck while removing their cards from play. His most famous maneuver, however, is the summoning of all his Valkyrie cards simultaneously using Ride of Valkyries, thereby defeating the enemy with one unified strike.
