While Léo sought by defect the company of the fairy tales, Siegfried studied with eagerness. Very quickly, it developed an unquestionable gift for the data processing of point.

At the time of one evening in a rich person investor, the father of Siegfried made him meet the Kaiba family. The two families hated themselves since generations and were in perpetual competition. But Kaiba had always had the top. Whereas the fathers discussed between them, Seto and Mokuba Kaiba became acquainted with Siegfried. He only had been invited to the evening, Léo having only one less importance with the eyes of his/her parents vis-a-vis his elder. The discussion of the adults turned around a contract which Von Schroeder were to sign with a large international company, but once again, Kaiba had arrived before them. Siegfried took the fact very badly that his/her father is humiliated kind and entâche reputation of its family. While speaking with Seto, which protected Mokuba, Siegfried discovered in him its perfect rival, because the Kaiba young person had to him also astonishing data-processing gifts. But contrary to him, Siegfried used this exceptional gift to create devastators virus in order to destroy the résaux ones who did not agree to him. It remotely made the demonstration of its talent by starting the cut of the electric system of the evening. Nobody, except Seto, never knew what had occurred this evening.

Siegfried made its classes in company of Seto. Between the two young men was born quickly a competition without precedent. Seto always managed to exceed Siegfried accuracy, which then redoubled efforts to crush its adversary, but without success. To obtaining their diplomas, they followed each opposed way, Seto working with eagerness to create a revolutionary technology and Siegfried to maintain its company with floods. Because by meet only failures vis-a-vis his only rival, the father of Siegfried had succumbed to the madness. Not being from now on in a position to more direct the financial empire, Siegfried decided to take total control of it. At the same time Seto took the head of the KaibaCorp and converted it into a company of plays to the planetary scales. Siegfried had had the same idea once with the capacity of the SchroederCorp , but always too late. Insane of rage, it the Jura to overcome Kaiba through a revolutionary invention intended to improve the play number one in the world, universe of the charts of Duels of Monsters created by brilliant the Maximilien Pégasus .

At the end of a titanic work, Siegfried succeeds in conceiving the system of holographic projection of monsters . He even was champion of Europe play, while Seto was the world champion (respectively numbers four and three in the world classification of the best players; Siegfried was once again just lower than Seto). With this invention, Siegfried had the firm intention to conclude a franchise agreement with the company from Pégasus, Industrial Illusions , the first company in the world. By doing this, it would once and for all crush its rival while being combined with one of the richest and powerful beings which are. But, when Siegfried entered the conference room of Pégasus to show him its project, he discovered it tightening the hand of Seto Kaiba in front of a crowd of photographers, who immortalisaient the partnership of the two industrialists around what proved to be the prototype of the holographic system of Kaiba, which resembled that of Siegfried enormously. Once more, Seto had been faster than Siegfried, to which there did not remain any more any hope. Insane of sorrow and anger, it set out again at his place, desperate.

At this point in time its dark machination was forged. Siegfried was persuaded that Kaiba had réussiot to pirate its plans and to build the prototype before him of adapting the merit of the project. It solved to be avenged and make burst the truth in front of the whole world. But it had to wait the good moment. It created the new ones and terrible viruses for the occasion, and had patience in the shade.

The series continues, Kaiba becoming the world leader of Duels of monsters with Yûgi Mutô, crowned " Main of the Play " after its victory over Pégasus with the Kingdom of Duellistes . Then the Tournois came from BatailleVille , which still ended in the victory of Yûgi.

Lastly, Kaiba decided to organize last tournaments, the Ultimate Tournament , within the gigantic amusement park of KaibaLand , having for single topic the duels. Siegfried decided to intervene. It pirated the system of Seto by modifying the parameters of its mechanical arena, intended to train the young duellists. Yûgi and its friends last their survival only with calm and the experiment of the hero, who managed to beat the machine and to destroy the virus. During this time, Siegfried had been registered with the tournaments under a false identity, like his/her brother. Seto had of another choice to only remain with the variation of the competition to uncover the informartic pirate, of which it was certain that it had took share with the tournaments. Siegfried the had then bent frank ones to climb the levels one by one. It eliminated even Joey (the best friend of Yûgi). Its first duel was for him the occasion to spread out part of its power by destroying two adversaries in only one turn. As he faced Joey, he reintroduced his virus within the system and fallit to precipitate the fall of the park by ruining attractions. Kaiba destroyed the virus once more, but alas too late: Siegfried had managed to anchor in résaux the another more powerful virus, which aimed at the holographic system itself, awaiting the signal to start. During this time, Léo was him also qualified for the final. The last match was a duel vis-a-vis Yûgi to determine the true champion, but it was initially necessary to overcome the last adversary in competition, his brother.

After the incident, Seto discovered the truth on Zigfried Lord, and stopped the final duel for the discalifier for fraud and hacking. Léo was declared victorious without fighting. But that did not interest Siegfried, which wanted to face Kaiba. The pretext of their combat was to know or not Siegfried so yes would be disqualified, but in truth it was about a power struggle. The duel surprised began very badly for Seto, which was to face as of the first turn with best the charts of its adversary. He managed to leave himself there to counter-attack, but Siegfried did not leave him any chance. At the time to overcome, Siegfried chooses to reveal the truth on Seto in front of all. But Seto contradicted the charges of Siegfried. Today still, one is unaware of if Kaiba concealed its plans to him where if they had the same idea at the same moment. Seto succeeds in overcoming Siegfried. Broken, this last nevertheless had not failed yet in its revenge. Its defeat belonged to its project to destroy the empire of Kaiba.

The finale of the tournament proceeded as envisaged. Léo Wilson was to face there Yûgi Mutô to determine which would be really the world champion of the duels. Siegfried took his/her brother with share before his combat and gave to him a very rare chart that it had for a long time. This chart, Léo was to play it as soon as it would have it in hand to ensure the victory Von Schroeder. Because since always Siegfried used the incommensurable desire of his/her brother to be finally recognized by its family for her personal profit. Whereas Léo also dreamed to deliver a honourable duel vis-a-vis Yûgi, it was to now make pass its dreams after the duty which Siegfried imposed to him. The duel began in a rather tended environment, and the change of attitude of Léo alerted Yûgi, which preferred to reduce its level of play to let Léo be expressed on this mystery. At this point in time the henchman of Kaiba discovered the secrecy of Léo and Seto informs some, which entered an insane rage. Siegfried chooses this moment to reappear at the sides of its adversary. It exposed to all its plan, which aimed at making overcome Yûgi by his/her brother to promote the new system of play that the SchrœderCorp was on the point of launching on the market. However, it left side the utility of the famous single chart, but specified that its plan included the fact that Seto eliminates it from the competition so that his/her own brother can reach without encumber with the finale. Von Schroeder would gain the Ultimate Tournament in any event. Seto was destroyed. But it made nevertheless noticed in Siegfried which its plan would be profitable only if Léo managed to overcome Yûgi, but nobody had never reached that point. At this point in time Léo drew the chart, that Siegfried obliged it to pose on the ground. An immense gilded castle appeared, giving to Léo faculty to call upon its best monsters of only one blow. This chart was an incomplete chart that Maximilien Pégasus had intended for a tournament minor like trophy. But Siegfried had gained it and thanks to its data-processing gifts had managed to modify and finish the chart, giving him exceptional capacities. The installations of the KaibaCorp started to be ruined. The computing systems were attacked by the castle which held a powerful virus. The banking data and other relative informations with management and with fonctionnemlent company disappeared the ones after the others. Siegfried destroyed the empire of Seto of the interior, with the firm intention to conclude a trade agreement with Pégasus and to put the hand on Duels of Monsters . Seto precipitated at the control center and tried to dam up the virus, but without success. During this time, Léo realized trickery and tried to destroy the chart. But it was immunized against lees charts of magics and traps. In addition to all, the adversary saw its monsters obliged to attack the opposing side and lost half of the points of attack of its monsters like damage of combat. Then, at each end of turn, Yûgi had sent half of its play to the Cemetery to maintain the chart on the ground. The duel took a tragic turning, the play being entirely controlled by Siegfried with the great despair of Léo. After a series of maneuvres dangerous, Yûgi managed to start the special effect of one of its monsters, which enabled him to destroy all the charts of its adversary. The monsters of Léo were destroyed, but the castle remained on the ground. Siegfried had made it insensitive with the effects also. It was the ultimate chart. Yûgi and Léo were in great difficulty.

Siegfried again required the heavy tribute of its chart with Yûgi. But against any waiting, there remained only one chart in the play of Yûgi, which could not thus pay it. The castle disappeared then, involving with him the virus of Siegfried. In the control center, Seto discovered the event without surprise, and started again its system starting from a backup file which it had created before the last duel, presenting a new disaster. Once more, Siegfried had failed vis-a-vis Kaiba. At the same moment, the duel between Yûgi and Léo were completed finally in the desired honor. Siegfried, broken, accepted the most beautiful lesson of its life of his/her brother who comforted it and opened the eyes to him on the past futil of its maneuvres. It was to now fight in the honor like him with Yûgi, even if it risked the defeat, simply to prove that it excistait and to assert its ideas, to accept the competition and the provisional superiority of the KaibaCorp . Siegfried, in peace, set out again with Léo in Germany, where they manage together the businesses of the SchrœderCorp .
