Frederick Schtauffen (フレデリック・シュタウフェン Furederikku Shutaufen) is Siegfried's father. Nicknamed the "Gentle Knight", he was one of the heroes of the peasant revolts against the Holy Roman Empire. During the campaign he met Margaret and soon she gave him a son, whom he named Siegfried, after the famous hero. He taught him swordplay, but once he left to fight on a foreign crusade, his son formed a nefarious group called the Schwarzwind. After the defeat of his unit in battle, he was returning home exhausted, when the Schwarzwind led by Siegfried ambushed his group, in a misguided patriotic act, believing the group to which Frederick belonged was a group of deserters. With tragic irony, his own son beheaded him in the ensuing chaos, the Schwarzwind being far too strong for the battle weary soldiers to defend themselves.

In Soulcalibur IVEdit

In Soulcalibur IV, Frederick appears as an illusion created by Zasalamel to fight Siegfried in his first stage. He uses Siegfried's fighting style, which may actually be his own.

Trivia Edit

• Husband to Margaret Schtauffen and father of Siegfried Schtauffen.
• In Siegfried's no input Soulcalibur III ending, he believes Frederick sent the lightning that destroyed the multiple Nightmares, which may mean Frederick has forgiven his son (If Frederick has forgiven his son, it seems Siegfried has no idea he has been forgiven by his father).
• Frederick appears as an enemy in a stage but is made of items selectable in creation mode allowing him to be a semi-playable character.
• Frederick can be created in Soulcalibur IV in Character Creation mode.
• As the Project Soul homepage reveals, the beheaded Frederick was originally considered to become a sword-wielding character in Soul Calibur.[1]
• On the Schwartzstrom relationship chart, Frederick is referred to as "Chief Gules".[2]
