Appearance
He's quite a foppish looking man, wearing regalia similar to what he wore in the Living world. Adorned with long, mid back length, Blond, straight hair; with piercing green eyes. He's fairly tall being a Dutch man, and holds a very broad shouldered stance. He often wears his nails longer than most males, often colored in bright colors, his favorite being a deep orange or blue.
His mask fragment is unlike others around, for it is a deep blue color. It covers his right cheek, forehead, and part of jaw, while going across his face diagonally to cover the left side forehead. On the bridge of the masks nose is the figure of Jesus Christ as if he was on the cross. His mask, while blue with mentioned crucifix, is purely decor. Hand colored and attached, it's meant to stand out and not be like every other Arrancar with their boring white masks.
His Hollow hole is located on his left side, just under his ribs, while his number is located on his left jawbone.
He dresses in all black with silvered accented cuffed sleeves and sash with matching gloves. A white lacy unstarched ruff around his neck, and bright Dutch orange stockings. Completed in his wardrobe package is his feminine, mauve, heeled shoes with elaborate lace and ribbon rosettes adorning the top.
Personality
He has an abrasive personality, in terms, he has an extremely deep seated hatred towards the fairer gender. He is not above hurting them if they are ever so near, no matter who they are and what they want. He's very physical and prefers it over any other method of attack. He should be noted that he is prone to just ignoring anyone completely unless provoked (Which doesn't take too much), and often will back talk. It amuses him when he can spout baseless statements.
While he is so abrasive towards females, he is much more, nicer to the Gruff males he encounters (Arrancar); of course that might attribute to the fact that he very much attracted to the male gender and will often try and flirt endlessly, but he still can be quick to anger if one were to reject him, and shows the same violence he does towards females to the males.
He holds his own grudges, and especially hates Shinigami after having to evade them so long. And thus he is quick to react to invading threats, often not using anything but his hands and body over a weapon. He has a commandeering voice when speaking and is often not very polite in speech either (unless it's towards the Primera, who of which he is forever and severely loyal to; a bit enamored over him as well).
History
He was born at home to his mother Grietje and father Jacob; named after his father's father, Fredrick was the youngest of 5. Being the youngest he garnered the attention of both his parents more than anyone else.
His father was a Marquis by birthright, taking the position once his father had died. The family lived in any high class situation, servant staffed and various governesses to watch and teach the children.
Fredrick had everything handed to him, he didn't have to dress himself, nor did he get in trouble for anything he ever did, He was the youngest after all. By the time he was 16 years old, he was the only one left in the home; sisters and brothers married off and living in their own little aristocratic worlds. By this time in his life he saw only his parents at supper or in the special engagements his father swung him out to.
He loved the attention; the idea that he didn't have to do anything for himself if he so pleased. Of course that was all fine and dandy, unless he actually wanted to do something. Anything that wasn't deemed 'High Class" or of the like. He scoffed at that notion, He was high Class, he should have been allowed to do as he damn well pleased! This annoyed Fredrick beyond belief that he couldn't just do what ever he wanted; this was especially true if he was the only one these rules applied to (or so it seemed); for he had seen plenty of naysayer things his Older brothers did. They had much more freedom than he, and he didn't like that. He didn't like their freedom, nor who took their attention away from him. He became an annoyance, bothering his brothers and anyone with them. He just wanted their attention and love.
At the age of 13, he had a brief moment of his first experimentation of both genders. His first was with Lien van der Schurr; his eldest brother's new wife. A small little affair, only of which he had cockily told his Tutor, Nicholaus Freisemann, of the illicit thing. The Tutor offered him an idea, and in return Fredrick was in two illicit affairs.
The former affair lasted a short while until Lien broke down and told Fredrick that she had told his brother about the affair. Almost instantly, his reaction was of anger that she would cancel such a thing...just because she felt guilty about the feelings of his brother. He confronts her about the whole thing; wanting...no demanding retribution. She only comments on the disparagement of it all. It throws him into a flurry of rage, and lambasted the female both with words and his fists. It was his tutor who had to drag the boy off the woman, who was sobbing loudly at the injuries she sustained from the young swift boy.
A small chastisement and his own set of lickings was given to him as some form of punishment. Not that it mattered, she had betrayed him; she had to be punished...besides, her company wasn't needed, he preferred male company, none of the hodgepodge that comes with females.
He spent most of his time either studying, philandering with his tutor (The same one in the latter affair), or out in secret at male brothels, intoxicating himself. Rumors fueled with bringing down The family's reputation spread; saying such things of a smear against the de Groot name. Of course anything about Fredrick was merely true, all of which he only feigned innocence (which was only occasionally believed). Just the notion of such Rumors his father set forth to arrange a marriage, acceptable in the time, to a 14 year old girl, Wilhelmina van der Meer, whose father was a politician. He only wanted his son to be put into line and to stop all rumors about his son philandering with males. This only angered Fredrick for he had no want to have female relations for the sake of a political marriage (or a marriage in general). He rebelled against his father and made Rumors into truths (as they already were).
His father decided to take things into his own hands and beat his nearly grown son and put forth the marriage soon after. He was then off living with his 14 year old bride in a fully staffed modest manor in Apeldoorn, away from any districts that he could busy himself with. Well so most had hoped; for Fredrick still found a way, a mere servant boy working in the manor, a Jan van Waldeck. This provided discourse with the young "couple", with the teen wife not knowing anything at first. Often begging her husband to take her to parties and engagements, often which he refused, unless it was the likes of his father or her father.
But her own suspicions only came after a few years of no physical contact at all with her Husband, to the point that he ignored her for the most part, or worse yet he often hurt her physically; liken to shoving her, beating her, choking her, and at one time shoving her down the flight of their main staircase.
Wilhelmina only had to suffer through her husbands violent outbursts, he was the head of the house. She wouldn't dare fight back or even tell her father, no it wasn't her place. But despite this she only tried to love him, even if he could care less if she died. And die she did, murdered in her case by Fredrick himself when she was 19 and he 21. A little too rough, and he strangulated her with his own hands. He later staged it as a suicidal hanging for his own benefit, he was off Scot Free from any wrong doing, though there were rumors of otherwise. One night, when Fredrick was coming back from an engagement, and had went up to his room, solitude for he had no need to fulfill his lust. He was in light sleep, but awoke when he felt another body on top of him...It was Jan. But Jan was different and he held with him, Fredrick's own gun, one he had gotten after he had killed his young wife. Words were exchanged, Jan playing the part her was paid to do of someone who wanted to kill himself. Fredrick played the concerned lover, his hand over Jan's own; he pulled the primitive gun away from Jan's head. Jan took control over the situation and placed the barrel against Fredrick's own and pulled the trigger.
That was it, a simple bullet to the head and Fredrick was dead, dead by a plot to kill him and his sinful deeds.
As a plus he wasn't anchored down by his Inga no Kusari (Which was fairly short to begin with) to any one place, he had no full regrets; only betrayal. Betrayal. He wanted to find why Jan had killed him, why he was dead. Off he went, time as a plus he roamed around, traveling to Amsterdam first to garner any information. The news of his death had spread fast; only making his soul feel the pain of betrayal and his Inga no Kusari erode on itself, racking his self with more pain.
He went off, traveling down to Rotterdam after hearing that the pay off was to occur there. And there it was where all his new despair and betrayal was confirmed. His father! His own FATHER set out to have him eradicated; even going so low to use the male he had such philandering times with. This intense set of emotions set off a rapid erosion of his Inga no Kusari, in which it completely finished off and he painfully had his soul transformed into such a monster known as a Hollow. A Witness to his transformation was a Shinigami that was patrolling the area in Rotterdam. The Shinigami only went to try and purify the newly born Hollow, but the Hollow only resisted and took off to hide somewhere, hiding from the Shinigami. He never stayed too long in one spot before going back to where he had come from, and completely annihilate his father, but also everything around the man at the time of destroying the human. The Shinigami had layed in wait, and only came to attack the Hollow, but the hollow, only More angry that this thing kept trying to attack him, swung his arm away and fled, yet again. His then beastly self came across his own servant, no killer, Jan. He was completely destroyed and consumed.
After the last attack he fled away from the city of Rotterdam, lest the Shinigami was to follow him. His travels as a hungry Hollow had him slowly moving between small villages and towns, going north. First Delft as a short visit, for another Shinigami had yet to show up and try to eradicate him; his second stop, den Haag, allowed for many a rest in years, but he soon was pushed out. What was this thing that constantly kept trying to get rid of him? All he wanted to do was eat. He then traveled to Wassenaar. A place for which he came across another like himself. Though this other Hollow had been trying to steal Fredrick's own meal, and thus Fredrick consumed it instead. The taste, the feeling of power was much greater in such creatures such as himself. He no longer was satisfied with such lowly creatures such as humans any more, no, only hollows. After Wassenaar, he traveled to Leiden and then Haarlem. He stayed in Haarlem the longest, many Hollows around. He ascended up towards Adjuchas, becoming a smaller, bird-like thing. He only continued to eat when he was bothered by other Hollows, their power always filling him up. During his stay in Haarlem, over a course of over a hundred years, he transcended into a Vasto-lord. A smaller more humanoid was formed from this transformation. Soon after becoming a Vasto-Lord he had to depart from Haarlem and move to Amsterdam, for his opposition had come back, with many more than he was used to. The group had followed with him, fully intent to eradicate him. Though by this point he had fully regained his thinking mind, quite vicious still. He realized how much power he really had, and proceeded to eviscerate the small team, quite enjoying their wonderful power.
Some time later, he had ripped open a rift that took him to the sandy Las Dias desert. He doesn't recall how it happened, but it did. It was new place, somewhere unlike where he had been living for close to two hundred years. Darken night, barren wasteland. He only strove to walk. Walk and Walk; traveling around. At one point he saw a magnificently build area, but it was such a long way off, and it seemed like another hundred years had gone by (Though it really never was that long) before found himself at the threshold of Las Noches.
After being discovered by a certain Primera,he was taken in, with his mask forcefully, violently ripped off of him. Pain similar to when he transformed before, racked him while he was reborn as an Arrancar. He was only obliged and willfully took to this man; almost literally seeing the Primera as a god like figure; who he must defend at all costs. He was fairly violent from the start, and always at the ready to defend the Primera! The class of Exequias was granted to him for his fervor want to Protect everything the Primera had built up from anyone.
Combat
Strengths
Fighting: He is quick to react and will continue to fight until he no long can.
Commanding: He easily can Control who he needs to use
Loyalty: He is only loyal to the Primera, no one else. As thus he will bring down any person who stands in the Primera's way.
Weaknesses
Anger: He is easy to provoke and can cause unnecessary damage or fights. This is especially true when he's ever near a Female or Non-Male Arrancar.
Flirting: This often can get him into trouble. Why? Because most males don't feel too comfortable being flirted with by another male. Often being rejected from simple flirting, his Anger will get only come out (or the other party may start with anger).
