Grew up on Solaris VII the son of a stable owner. His first arena fight was at 16 in a light melee match in the Jungle. He lost, but made 4 kills. The simulator time he acquired without permission paid off for the stable. Over the next 4 years it was one fight after another, but despite doing well personally, the stable was not doing well. His father sold the stable, but Frederick was able to keep his mech and look for another kind of job.
