History: Frederick was born into a poor family. Growing up, he dreamt of becoming a Bard, to bring honor to his family’s name.

Being born in the south, he completed his medical training abroad so as to avoid the war. He returned after the war having achieved medical proficiency. He was a general practitioner in the south for years, until he, through no fault of his own, lost a patient who had a very powerful family. Rather than risk reprisal he made his way west.
