The name "Iceman" originated from Franz's ancestors who were skilled ice harvesters in Windspire. Their expertise in collecting and preserving ice earned them renown and prosperity in the bustling port city. Over time, the family's success led them to become influential nobles in Galvania, where they navigated the intrigues of court life with resilience and determination.
 
When the Magnus rulers were finally ousted after centuries of dominance, they attempted to flee by boat. In a desperate bid to prevent their escape, the Icemans intervened, leading to a violent confrontation. Tragically, Franz's family suffered greatly in the ensuing chaos, with many losing their lives at the hands of the Magnus dynasty and their vampire allies.
