A svelte fighter-mage who wears a gold-rimmed monocle and seeks a suitable and worthy opponent. You likely do not fit the bill. “I thoroughly disapprove of duels. I consider them unwise and I know they are dangerous. Also, sinful. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet retired spot and kill him.” -Mark Twain, _Autobiography of Mark Twain_. 1924

Useful Info

Frederick is a dangerous unique caster. Although he's only fair in melee combat, the damage output of his spells is on par with Cerebov.

Tips & Tricks

• Try to fight him at close range, as his melee attacks are far less painful than his spells, or at extreme long range, popping Freezing Cloud or Poisonous Cloud and then backing away.
• You can pop a Conjure Flame in his way to nullify his Bolts of Cold and force him to move towards you. If he steps in it, even better! Rinse and repeat.
• If you find yourself in fairly close range to him, a scroll of silence will shut down all of his magic long enough for you to take him out physically. Just be aware that the silence aura's radius will not be very large.

History

In early versions of DCSS he was known as Adolf.
