Accomplishments & Achievements
Born to a small family in Riverway to a single father Barric, Friedrich surprised many with his attachment to magic. Despite his limited funds and the biases held towards Orcs he would score perfectly on the entrance exams for the Arcanium, earning a full ride. He first entered the school of Enchantment out of fear that the competitive nature of the other schools might threaten his scholarship but soon flourished. He pioneered the use of enchantment magic for healing illness of the mind. His thesis, Friedrich's Healing Alteration, was the first official spell to be developed to help long term alleviate trigger responses in trauma. Later he would develop Friedrich's Conditioning Undone, a spell that could undue conditioning on patients. Despite his research in the medical applications, Friedrich's writings show a great concern about deregulating his field due to the positive press famously penning "Enchanter's defense of the Enchantment Ban."
Due to his reputation as a large and gentle man, as well as a common misunderstanding of his last name, has lead to the moniker "The Big Bear" from other students. A name he hates his peers calling him,
Failures & Embarrassments
Despite his prowess as a researcher, bias against orcs as wizards remains from the elves and humans of the Arcanium as well as the view of the empire's Enchantment research as half baked and "Strangled to the point of nonexistence."
