“ | Every experience makes us stronger, milady. Even those we don't enjoy. | ” | — Frederick, to Lissa |
---|
Frederick (Japanese: フレデリク Frederik) is a character in Fire Emblem Awakening. Though he is a Great Knight, he plays a role similar to early Paladins in previous installments of the series. He serves as Chrom's cool and collected deputy of the vigilante force, the Shepherds.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Role
Frederick serves as Chrom's right-hand man in leading the Shepherds. When he, Chrom, and Lissa meet Robin for the first time, Frederick is suspicious of Robin being a Plegian spy. Regardless, he follows Chrom's decision to trust Robin, even explaining several facts about Ylisse to them.
Throughout the game, Frederick reports to Chrom and Robin about upcoming events.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Frederick joins as a level 1 Great Knight in the Prologue, and acts as the party's Jagen-type character. His strong bulk makes him the only character capable of surviving sustained combat in the earlygame of Lunatic and Lunatic+, and as such he is a lynchpin of any strategy conducive to survival. Furthering his strong earlygame is his ability to use the Silver Lance and his Great Knight class allowing him to quickly gain the ability to use various good weapons like Orsin's Hatchet. He also is one of the few characters to support Chrom, and provides him very good bulk so he can get off the ground to become a formidable unit in his own right. While Frederick's experience intake is much slower than the rest of the party, the sheer amount of combat he will likely face makes up for this and allows him to keep pace. However, Frederick's performance is nowhere near perfect; his bases, while excellent for his join time, are miserable when compared to what other characters will have when they catch up to his experience level and he implodes in Chapter 17 when the enemy stops fielding unpromoted combat units. Using Frederick becomes a balancing act of using him enough to damage the enemies, but not so much as to stunt the other units' growth potential until it's too late.
Frederick's genes are nowhere near as good as his combat potential is. He suffers from a -2 Speed modifier and passes no particularly good classes down, meaning he is generally one of the worse fathers available. Frederick sways his children towards the physical end of the spectrum, so in casual play he makes an acceptable father for most physical children. Inigo in particular can generally afford to eat the Speed penalty to make a solid physical unit. Still, pretty much every child character has better options available than Frederick. It's also worth noting that Frederick is one of only four potential fathers for Cynthia (not including the Avatar); however, Chrom and Henry both make better Cynthias than Frederick does. (So does Gaius, but the opportunity cost of losing Galeforce on Noire, Kjelle, or Nah is too much.) Frederick is primarily a father of last resort for Cynthia.
Fire Emblem Fates
Role
Frederick appears as an unplayable unit in Fates DLC, Before Awakening. He aids Corrin in fighting off ghostly forces.

Personality and character
Frederick, albeit calm and collected, serves as Chrom's sarcastic lieutenant, who orders tremendous effort for trivial things (but prefaces those orders with a smile.) He's a bit of an overachiever, spending his free time doing several things around the camp. The fondest of starting fires.
