Reynard Fredericks

Description
Undersecretary Fredericks is a sleek-headed blond man with a surprisingly high-pitched voice, commonly seen in full black ISS dress uniform when circumstances allow. He prefers light-colored civilian suits that emphasize his upper body when the uniform is impractical.

Public Biography
Reynard Fredericks was a promising young officer in the Coalition Naval Advisory Commission in 95-102 PA, rising as far as the rank of naval Lieutenant before running afoul of his superiors. The exact circumstances of his dismissal are unknown, but he was sent back to Chi-Town, seeking employment. He was hired as a security expert by the Minister, who sent him as an intelligence-gatherer in the Minnesota region. Fredericks displayed a remarkable aptitude for bringing human settlements into line with the Coalition viewpoint, including securing a string of forward resupply points for the later Tolkeen offensive.

As a result of this, he was promoted to Undersecretary for Frontier Affairs in 106 after the first Tolkeen offensive failed. His role in the reorganization was to leverage his contacts in the region into an effective but widespread guerrilla organization codenamed FOXHOUND. The FOXHOUND network was not a combat operation, but rather an intelligence-gathering one, and he gathered a great deal of material both on Tolkeen dispositions and Coalition leaders' behavior in the region.

His role from 106 to the present has been as an information-gatherer and director of frontier intelligence gathering for the Ministry. At present, he is in Missouri, attempting to resolve a border dispute with the kingdom of Whykin.

Lesser-Known Facts
Fredericks is a qualified pilot and parachutist; he routinely flies missions with the 77th Fighter Squadron, the "Ace of Hearts" squadron. He has flown more than 75 missions with the squadron, despite repeated orders from the Minister and the Director of Foreign Affairs to cease. He is also an accomplished pianist and an expert classical fencer and swimmer.

Rumors
Fredericks commands an extensive though unofficial intelligence network throughout the Coalition States. It is rumored that he assumed control of Colonel Thaddeus Lyboc's former assets following the latter's disgrace during the Juicer Uprising of 105 PA.

It is rumored that Fredericks was the guiding hand behind some of the more extreme anti-D-bee measures taken in Tolkeen.
