Frederick

Frederick Halperin is the current Knight-Commander of the Castow chapter of the Templars. Halperin has a long and distinguished career as an expert fighter. Some of his wilier subordinates, such as Wesely Tardale think that he's a little too stuck up and sanctimonious for his own good, but all agree that he is competent and fair.

Frederick joined the Templars at age 15 in 1697 and succeeded that previous Knight-Commander in 1704. During his tenure, he has overseen much of import, most prominently the arrival and deeds of the Heroes of Castow. Frederick fought in the tourney that the heroes organized and had both of his legs broken by Heinrich of Speerwald.

Since the Battle of Donetzi, Frederick has ensured that the Templars have been in the vanguard against the Orcish-Drow invasion. Nevertheless, he is confronting allegations of corruption within the order. Of particular concern are rumors that a small number of Templars have taken to worshiping devils.
