Sir Frederick Frolic III.
Sir Frederick Frolic III was a highly respected noble deer, statesman, and jelly connoisseur, best known for his tireless work within the Secret Deer Society of the Star Observatory and his tragic, explosive demise during the infamous Deer Temple Jelly Incident of 2025. Widely considered the pinnacle of deer sophistication, Sir Frederick was revered for his dedication to ceremonial decorum, lecture-based event openings, and a monocle so powerful it was rumoured to grant him +2 Perception.
He is survived by an empty podium, three honorary titles, and a scorch mark permanently embedded into the floor of the Deer Temple Convention Centre.
Early Life
Born into the prestigious Frolic Lineage, Frederick was the third of his name, raised on a strict diet of mossy literature and polite applause. He ascended quickly through the velvet-lined ranks of the Secret Deer Society, known early on for his stern but fair judgment, his mastery of jelly ladling protocol, and his uncanny ability to detect an unsanctioned raspberry ripple from 12 meters away.
He authored several treatises including:
- “Wobble and Dignity: The Jelly Code of the Ancients”
- “Antlers & Etiquette: Navigating High Society with Horns”
- “Please Do Not Put That in the Trifle: A Survival Guide”
The Jelly Incident of 2025
Sir Frederick’s life came to a dramatic and somewhat gelatinous end during the opening ceremony of the Deer Temple Convention Centre’s Self-Serve Jelly Social. Mid-sentence, while delivering a passionate address on the merits of symmetrical jelly scooping, he was accidentally incinerated by Ark, a guest who sneezed fire across the buffet line. Frederick was reportedly mid-sentence saying, “One must never approach the mango mold from the northea—” before becoming a dignified column of ash. Only his monocle and three buttons remained unscathed.
The event caused for an instant reform of new policies to avoid dragon-related accidents.
Afterlife and Legacy
A bronze statue of Sir Frederick was erected shortly after the incident. It features him standing nobly with a spoon raised in triumph, a faint scorch mark preserved behind him for historical accuracy.
