Biography

Frederik was born to the Wurmtongues tribe in Wurmtongue Fjord. Always a lanky young man, he did not wish to join viking raids with his kin, but he was forced to go regardless. While on his first raid, when he became terrified by the enemy, he lashed out in an eruption of flame. His companions won the battle because of his actions, but they declared him "ergi" (a witch, unmanly) and in a rage, he turned on them too, burning most of them to ash.

In the following years, Fred lived as an outlaw, wandering alone and hunting for scraps, often taking what he needed by violence. Eventually he crossed paths with the Achaean Empire and was hounded and captured by the Inquisition. Later, as a prisoner, he ran into Lord Plutarch.

Personality

Since birth, Frederik has had an extremely hard life, and it has jaded him. He rarely speaks, and when he does, it is short and to the point, and often laced with a bitterly cynical sarcasm. He shows little regard for human life, although he also seems to take no pleasure in the deed of killing. He does, however, seem to take some pleasure simply in burning things. With his deep blue eyes and quiet demeanor, he often seems to be contemplating something far deeper than one might expect... but what exactly he is thinking, one may not wish to know.

Appearances

Frederik has not appeared in any stories so far, although he has been mentioned in peripheral materials.
