Lord Frederic "Fred" Wolfgang Nightray is the heir apparent to the Nightray Dukedom. Born to Duke Barnard and Duchess Vernice, Frederic's upbringing was one of refinement and purpose. He was educated at Dodgson's Point, the finest military school in the country and at home, private tutors taught him the ways of the cloak and dagger. Disappointment hit at a young age, unfortunately, when Frederic failed his trial for the Nightray's Chain, the infamous Raven, at age fifteen, and thusly, further perpetuating his besmeared family legacy of members being unable to contract the family Chain.
Not to be discouraged, however, Frederic continued his formal education, this time dedicating himself to the arts of diplomacy and enrolling at the Liddell Institute for Foreign Studies. At age eighteen, he was assigned to become the ambassador's youngest assistant in his delegation and for the next several years, travelled the world as both diplomat and covert spy for the Four Great Noble Houses, who are currently in control of the Pandora organization. Almost a decade into his successful career abroad, Frederic was promoted to Head Delegate and Personal Secretary to His Ambassadorship.
Frederic visits his parents' manor for the appropriate family occasions, and when not engaged in his work, he resides in his own mansion in the southern part of the country. With every failure of his younger siblings to contract the Raven, however, Frederic has become more invested in securing his family's power at home, consorting frequently with his father, the Duke Nightray, and his uncle-in-law.
His closest associates and family refer to him as "Fred".
