Crusading Widower: Rinaldo attempted to kill Walter after his family's deaths, but the whip had no effect on Walter.Unlike many sufferers of this trope, this trope ultimately gets subverted when Leon manages to kill Walter, with Rinaldo's hopes being paid off and him joyfully going 'He did it!' Rinaldo has helped potentially dozens, if not hundreds, of people who've become part of Walter's twisted game, but in the end, the Whip of Alchemy gets left behind on his doorstep when the latest warrior fails. Rinaldo fought against Walter, but failed, and due to Walter's amusement with his talents, he was allowed to live in the Forest of Eternal Night, if only because he knows he'll help other people wanting to kill him, thus spicing up the game.
