- Monologue

Freid is a devoted follower of the god that the demons worship. He is very prideful of his looks, as he gets irritated when Yue calls him ugly. Freid is calm, collected and very confident in his abilities. While he comes off as arrogant due to being able to uses Ancient Magic, he knows the limits of his abilities and can admit when someone is stronger than him, even choosing to avoid facing them head on. In these cases, he would uses whatever means if he can use it to destroy his enemies, whether it's through surprise attacks or taking hostages.

Freid has a bad habit of jumping to conclusions about his enemies. During the demon's invasion on Heiligh Kingdom, he mistakes the reason why Yue refuses his proposal to join the demon side was because she was a champion of Ehit. He further mistakes that Hajime and his group care about the Kingdom and thought he could use them as hostage against him, which Hajime berates him for thinking.

Freid cares a great deal about his fellow demons. He took the time to comforted Mikhail when he learns his lover Cattleya was killed and is angry when Yue turns his army's attacks against them. The only reason why he pulled back his force at the Heiligh Kingdom was because he didn't want to waste his brethren lives needlessly. He is also wishes to help his fellow demons become stronger by giving them army of powerful monsters so they could conquer the other Great Labyrinths with the end goal being to strengthen Garland and the demon race by monopolizing Ancient Magic.

Biography
Freid explored the labyrinth in the Frost Caverns, and somehow managed to acquire Ancient Magic which allowed him to control monsters. He then began to use this newfound power to tip the scales of demons' war against the humans in the demons' favor.

When the heroes arrived at Tortus in order to fight the demons, he dispatched one of his subordinate with a detachment of monsters in order to either recruit or kill them, and to obtain the Ancient Magic in the process.

When Freid heard the news of Cattleya's death, he immediately departed to the Grand Gruen Volcano after realizing that the enemy was more of a threat than he thought and successfully completed the labyrinth's trial and obtained it's magic, as a result. He then lay in wait for Hajime and his party to arrive at the end and nearly killed him after launching a surprise attack from his dragon mount just as soon as they completed the labyrinth's last trial. Despite the element of surprise on his side, Freid was forced to retreat after engaging Hajime and the others in a battle, but not before destroying the labyrinth's keystone and forcing the volcano to erupt all of it's magma. As Freid fled, he was pursued by Tio Klarus in her dragon form and sustained serious injuries from her as he escaped.

After he recovered from his wounds, he lead a large invasion which consisted of 100,000 demons and monster to the Heiligh Kingdom and managed to easily breakthrough the kingdom's defenses thanks to the treachery of Eri Nakamura. During the invasion, he came face-to-face with Yue, who wanted to get revenge on him for the injuries he inflicted on Hajime in their last encounter. Freid attempted to recruit Yue, but she claimed that her only loyalty was to Hajime. Yue managed to inflict serious harm upon Freid, but he managed to escape once again. Freid then proceeded to met up with Hajime at palace courtyard and attempted to stop him by threatening to kill the people of the Heiligh Kingdom. Hajime caught Freid off guard and destroyed the majority of the demon's initial invasion forces using "Hyperion", without regard to the people of the Kingdom. Hajime then proceeded to insult and point out Freid habit of assuming things on his own and bluffed and threatened to destroy the rest of his forces if he did not retreat. Due to not having any information regarding the Light pillar or any other weapons Hajime may have in his possession, Fried then concluded it would be too much of a risk continuing the battle and instead opted to fall for the latter's bluff and retreat with his new ally Eri Nakamura, via Teleportation Gate. Before departing, Freid vowed to personally kill Hajime in the name of his God.

Skills

 * Far Sight - a skill that allows an increased range of vision by focusing mana into the eyes.
 * Spatial Magic - a form of "Ancient Magic" originating from the "Age of God", which allows the user to manipulate the space around themselves, allowing them to either bend or expand the space near them or move themselves to another space or location. The true power of this magic is the ability to 'interfere with the boundary'. Meaning it can allow the user to manipulate anything, like the elimination of race-creature gap, or formulating new boundary to create a spirit world; it's possible to achieve those kinds of things.
 * Metamorphosis Magic - a form of "Ancient Magic" originating from the "Age of God", which allows a user to remake the form of a normal being and reform them into a different form. Normally it's used to remake a normal organism and turn it into a monster, or even manipulate the magic stone of a monster and remake them. But the true power of this magic is the ability to 'interfere with any organic material'. Meaning not only animals, but it's also possible to remake plants or intelligent beings, and reform their structure as needed. Even byproducts of organic material, like paper or food, can also be manipulated by this magic. The magic stone which gets created during the process is just a byproduct of the process.

Spells/Attacks

 * Cosmic Rift - spatial magic that connects two separate points in space and forms a gate.
 * Void Fissure - spatial magic that forcibly contracts, then rapidly expands space in a certain area. The resulting shockwaves cause explosions that can't be defended by regular means.
