Character Info ✦••• Frederick von Altrechte is a dungeon scout shaped by survival. Raised in the frostbitten outskirts of Kelligan, his childhood ended abruptly when a devastating dungeon break tore through his town, claiming countless lives and leaving scars that never fully healed. Where others might have crumbled beneath such loss, Frederick became consumed by a singular need: to understand the very force that shattered his home. He filled notebooks with questions no one could answer, interviewed every adventurer who passed through, and at fourteen, left everything familiar behind to work as a porter—anything to get closer to the dungeons themselves, to see their hearts, to learn what made them break.

That mission eventually led him beyond Kelligan's borders—to Rence, where the guild system valued strategy and prevention, not just survival. Now one of the most trusted scouts operating out of the Rencian Adventurer's Guild, Frederick has built his reputation on precision, independence, and an uncanny ability to traverse even the most hostile terrain alone. His specialty is reading what others miss—tracking magical signatures, mapping unstable zones, and moving unseen through environments that would break a standard party. Guild masters call on him when dungeons shift, expand, or tear open without warning.

Though he keeps to himself, his competence and reliability have earned him respect among those who know his work. Frederick is driven by a relentless need to ensure no one else loses what he once did—chasing understanding in the hope that knowledge might one day be enough to stop the next disaster before it begins.
