They were stationed at Fort Dandrum and traveled to Nowell Valley daily on the orders of GeneralKempf.^[2] WhenLeif's liberation army arrived at Nowell Valley, Fred and Olwen returned to Fort Dandrum to gather reinforcements. When they arrived, Kempf instigated Olwen to insult him and imprisoned her to satisfy his grudge with her brotherReinhardt. As Leif's army approached Fort Dandrum, Kempf then ordered Fred to fight Leif's army, and threatened to execute Olwen if he fled.^[3] However, during the battle, Leif may notice Fred's hesitance to fight and spare his life.^[4]

Analysis

Fred joins roughly halfway through the game in Chapter 11x. His performance on outdoor maps is solid thanks to his mount, 9 move, great weapon ranks, and decent stats for the most part. He does suffer from some limitations in combat; his luck is fairly low, his FCM is 1, and he lacks any skills. While this slightly holds back his performance, he is still a solid unit on outdoor maps.

On indoor maps, Fred's performance is more lackluster: he is demoted to only 6 move and takes slight stat penalties, as well as losing his C rank in lances. Thankfully, he retains his A rank in swords, which allows him to use any non-personal sword in the game. Because of this he still performs well enough indoors, although he fails to fill much of a niche.

Fred does have a while to take advantage of his outdoor performance, as chapters 12 and 13 through 17 are all outdoors, however by the late game Fred becomes more mediocre, as many chapters are indoors, and due to his slow experience gain his stats become less impressive. Overall, Fred is a solid unit who struggles to keep up in the late game.
