Biography
Frederick Hetaga was born in an Osterian colony within the continent of Onthukhan, in the winter of 218 TE. At the age of 6 he was abandoned by his parents, which resulted in him wandering aimlessly across Eldham for many long years, during which he would develop advanced survival skills and fighting capabilities. During his travels he would encounter many different settlements and every time he would ask for help, he would be met with armed warriors attempting to kill him, some of which very nearly succeeded. Most of his time however, he would spend in isolation, this would go on to drive him to the brink of insanity, yet it was his determination and willpower that had allowed him to survive so long on his own.

Eventually he would find himself in the Principality of Vladigrad where he would meet Boleslaw Rejewski, who welcomed Hetaga with open arms. This would be the first time in a long time that someone else had shown kindness to Hetaga. Hetaga would go on to live in Vladigrad for several years, during which he did whatever he could to repay Rejewski's kindness. He spent most of his time gathering resources for the town as he wanted to see it become the most advanced city in all of Eldham. This however, would not be the case as Vladigrad had become constantly caught between conflicts involving major powers and one of whom carried out a raid on the town in which Hetaga fled northwest.

"The guilt I feel will follow me for the rest of my life, never again will I be a coward."

- Frederick Hetaga on fleeing Vladigrad Hetaga arrived in the city of Urak in the summer of 249 TE, where he met Shardtron whom granted him citizenship and a home in Urak. Hetaga saw this as a second chance to right his past mistakes, and thus dedicated his life to helping build up Urak to be the ideal utopia that stands as a beacon of prosperity over all of Eldham. Over time however, this dedication would become more and more extreme to the point where it was full on nationalism and then ultranationalism. Eventually, when Tylics formed the Second Uraki Imperium, Hetaga was overwhelmed with joy, and when all citizens were asked to declare their loyalty to the new Imperator, Hetaga said: "I swear by my honor this sacred pledge: That I shall render complete and total obedience to Tylics, Imperator of the Uraki Imperium and it‘s people, And that I shall at all times be prepared as a loyal citizen to give my life for this pledge.", following this many others jumped in and chanted the same pledge: declaring their loyalty to Tylics, which only further convinced Hetaga that he was on the path of righteousness.

Following the founding of the Second Uraki Imperium, Ashai betrayed them and began war preparations, thus Uraka prepared for a major war. Hetaga was furious about Ashai‘s betrayal and swore to burn every last one of their homes to the ground. He immediately joined the Uraki military as a soldier and joined the grind associate as a miner. Soon after, he was sworn in as an Uraki Senator, after which he pledged help to fix what he described as "internal flaws". It was during this time that Hetaga grew a hatred towards the Rat-people, whom he blamed for Ashai’s actions against Uraka.

"They are rotten creatures that have no true future ahead of them."

- Frederick Hetaga, regarding the Rat-people

When it came to the subject of religion, Hetaga believed that there was an all-powerful being, but it isolated itself after creating the world. This was something that he strongly believed, however this would change when Hetaga attended the Sacrafice of Thunder. Hetaga went to it expecting nothing to happen but what he saw there, changed him forever, he immediately joined the Soleviel religion and became a devout supporter of the faith.

Not long after this, Aaron Fielinya used misinterpreted evidence against Uraka to cause them to lose their warshield, resulting in CATO declaring war against them. Because of this, many within the Imperium fled to other lands, while others, such as Hetaga, stayed behind to fight. This act of refusing to fight and fleeing angered many Uraki Citizens (especially Hetaga), but it all finally reached a boiling point when Simulami broke away from the Imperium. Having had enough of what he considered "unredeemable betrayals", Hetaga set out on a murder spree, during which he killed several people who he deemed as traitors and placed their heads on pikes throughout the city of Urak in order invoke a sense of fear in anyone who still wanted to flee the war.

"Anyone that refuses to fight is a traitor!"

- Frederick Hetaga‘s response to people fleeing the war. Hetaga would go on to continue fighting until the Imperium finally collapsed. Following this Hetaga believed that Uraka could have won the war had it not been for betrayals. Hetaga now believed that the only way Uraka would know glory was if he insured it himself. For this reason he founded the "National Uraki League for the Liberation of the Homeland Indefinitely" Party or "Nullhi" Party for short.
