Description: A man with a calm yet intense air about him, he wears a tan tunic with blue highlights, and long grey pants that bunch up around his shoes. His moppish auburn hair is in a traditional bowl cut. He is very pretty but has cold, dead eyes.

Personality: He is unhospitable to his core. His small house has "No trespassing" Signs all over it. The war was a terrible time for him, and Frederick does not often speak of it. When he does, he does so with a strained expression and tears in his eyes.

History: Born to a Sculptor, his mother struggled to pay the bills. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest to a summer home near a old dungeon. He would wander through that old dungeon and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the forest due to the painful memories there. Frederick took refuge in the old dungeon and found the beat up axe and armor he uses now. After a long history of fighting, Frederick and his spouse have recently divorced.

Motivation: He wants nothing more than to rejoin the army.
