Frederique
was born in 19th century France, to a bread-maker and barmaid. She
was a peasant, and would have been all her life had Lathos not chosen her
to feed from one night. Frederique was terrified, but did not fight
back, her inner strength allowing her to anticipate her death since she
saw no way to stop it.
But Lathos did not kill her. Instead she was turned into a ghoul, and a personal servant of Lathos. For over a hundred and fifty years, Frederique has been fed small portions of Lathos' blood to sustain her human vitality, her beauty, and her age. With Lathos' blood, as with any vampires, came the power of inhuman strength. Frederique also gained the ability to feel emotions and a fascination with blood. In every other way she is human. She is loyal to Lathos as the vampire has cared for her for more than a hundred years. Frederique knows her station in life, and she performs
it very well. She realizes also that she may be turned into a vampire
some time soon. She doesn't fear this, but she doesn't anticipate
it either.
