Fredrick

"No mercy, men! This is an island of superstitious heathens! Remember, they do not want you here, they do not like you, they do not understand the true meaning of your cause! And they are scheming at every turn to cast you out! So stay on your guard, and trust no one!"

―Fredrick, while training his men.

Fredrick, also known as Frederick "the Red," was the knight guard leader of the Templars.

Biography

Death

As a high commander, Frederick was tasked with training Templar guards after they arrived in Cyprus. One day, while training his men in the Limassol Castle courtyard, the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad arrived to assassinate him.

After a fierce battle, Fredrick eventually perished at Altaïr's hands. Fredrick's death shocked the Templar's leader, Armand Bouchart, and caused him to tighten security and kill Osman.

Personality and characteristics

Fredrick was the highest ranking Templar in Limassol, with the exception of Armand Bouchart himself. He was a "real brute" according to Osman, likely referring to his strict and hard personality.

In hopes of bolstering the confidence that Limassol's citizens had in Fredrick, Armand described him as a man who "served God and the people of Cyprus with honor."
