Fred

Fred is a skilled sniper and swordsman, who prefered mercenary work. He was often chasing Takeo, his most hated rival. Fred is also noted for "hating them dang sub-humans!", although that was not always the case- and apparently towards the end of his (first) life, not completely the case either.

Early Life
Fred was born in a small beorc village on the edge of Serenes, and spent most of his time in the forest. He was great friends with three bird laguz- Jill, Lauren, and Kevin-two herons and a hawk (he was better friends with Jill than lauren or Kevin). Eventually, Lauren looked into his heart, and apparently saw that he liked Jill, the young boy no older than 14 was deeply hurt by Lauren and Kevin's teasing of the event. He disappeared the night the Serenes Massacre occured.

It is known that Fred spent much time in Daein, under the guidance of an old knight.

Leaving Daein, his first attempt
As a young man, Fred had a deep hatred for laguz, but was a intelligent and skilled man. He was approached by a mysterious man about work, but Fred turned him down for a brighter, more hopeful future. However, despite the bright future ahead of him, Fred had the unfortunate luck of running into his soon to be rival, Takeo. Takeo convinced Fred to do a job for him- a simple robbing of a local nobel. The situation turned out poorly, as guards captured the men. Takeo escaped, and left Fred to be imprisoned and tortured by himself, something he never forgave Takeo for.

Leaving Daein
On his next attempt to leave Daein, Fred was once again approached by the same man. After dealing with years of torture, hard work, and prison, Fred willingly accepted work. He was told that he'd be "contacted soon."

Despite this, Fred took many other offers. He worked for a brutal Crimean man, but eventually switched sides when he met a young archer girl. He forced her to sign a blood contract, and joined her and the rest of the mercenaries. It was then where he first met Fetelo, Keith, Jake, and Corvin. He also ran into Takeo again, something he did not expect. He never trusted Takeo, ever, and kept a careful watch on him and the others.
