Overview
Frederick is a divine mage from Varnhallow and a long-serving attendant. He first works as Wilfred's closest advisor in Luminaris, then becomes one of Thalion's trusted retainers as the Order of Thalion Zenith grows.
Service to Thalion
Frederick and Luminaris's officials keep the city functioning after Thalion takes Wilfred's place while it prepares to evacuate and support Thalion's effort to remove Malverand's surviving guardians. Thalion relies on him for practical orders, including guest arrangements, scout assignments, supplies, and instructions to the weavers.
In the field, Frederick shields Thalion from a massive shockwave with protective divine barriers and keeps him upright when exhaustion leaves him unable to stand. He also secures Helena a place to stay in Rimvold and later prepares clothing and supplies for John before a scouting mission.
Helena's Guardian
After Thalion disappears, Frederick and Kira obey his instruction to care for Helena. Frederick comforts Helena in Thalion's emptied room, gives her the cosmic blue robe Thalion left for her, and travels with her and Kira through Haverloch and Ulzathir while she destroys records about Malverand.
Frederick and Kira remain with Helena for years in Ishtanûr. They are a quiet pair who kept their relationship private, and Thalion had known this when he assigned them both to her.
Magic and Death
Frederick is a divine mage suited for battlefield protection. He shields allies with protective barriers. His practical value comes from administration, logistics, and steady service under pressure.
In old age, Frederick dies beside Kira and Helena. He draws in surrounding essence, overloads by choice, and dissolves into luminous white particles, returning to essence.
