Frederick Shepherd

Frederick Shepherd
I've had enough of your disingenuous assertions. [Right Hook]
Over sixty years old, Shepherd has seen it all and done it all as a member of an elite special forces group. After his eruption restored him to the prime of youth (in fact, better than new!) he has a new purpose, and it might put him at odds with the party. Although charismatic as all hell, he has an undercurrent of vengefulness that is barely kept suppressed by a will that's honed to an edge finer than any blade. Now he works as a freelance mercenary or troubleshooter, although there are rumors that he's hooked up with... less savory types.
