Aai Freezis

**Aai Freezis** was the second president of the Freezis Foundation, the granddaughter of Aile Freezis, and the grandniece of the former president, Shaw Freezis. Instrumental in beginning the colonization of the New World, she was ultimately selected as the company's new leader in the wake of Shaw's death, working closely with the vice-presidents, Ward Lucif and Nob Nicole, to expand their business exploits.

## History

### Early Life

Born to the Freezis Family in EC 564, Aai joined the Freezis Foundation and helped develop the business conglomerate alongside her great-uncle, Shaw. Following the discovery of Maistia in EC 592, Aai worked to expand the foundation's influence in the "New World".

### Change in Leadership

Following her great-uncle's death on October 17, EC 609, the woman was selected to become the new president of the foundation. Afterward, Aai charged her vice-presidents with managing the foundation, with Ward Lucif handling the local affairs while Nob Nicole oversaw the development of the New World. Aai would then move between the main and offshoot branches, keeping an eye on their activities.

Months later, Aai was scheduled to meet with the Lucifenian ministry at the former palace on May 23, EC 611; during this, they were planned to discuss the increase of criminal activity in Maistia.

### Meeting in Lucifenia

On the appointed day, Aai and her vice-presidents arrived at the former palace for the meeting with the Lucifenian prime minister, Velda Coates. After several hours, Aai and the other officials rose to change for a party following the meeting. Before they could leave, however, several Justea police officers burst into the room.

She then listened as Officer Willus Zorach introduced himself and his partner Aveza Anchor, becoming upset when he explained to the assembly that her vice-president Nob's life was being targeted. When Velda calmly asked if he had any proof for this claim, Willus revealed that Justea had been secretly investigating Ward. Once asked, Aai confirmed that there had always been friction between Ward and Nob, though pushing Willus to provide a stronger basis for his claims.

She was then shocked when Willus revealed that Ward had been sending manpower to Maistia, despite that being under Nob's jurisdiction, and had also been trying to take over Nob's projects. He then explained to the assembly how his team believed that Ward was connected to Père Noël, and that the man believed Nob to be a threat to his organization.

After the outraged Ward argued that they had no evidence, Aai watched as the Justea officer offered evidence for believing that Ward was actually the fugitive Kaidor Weingartner, having had his face changed by Père Noël's "Seventh Magician" and taken the original Ward's place. The officer then asked Ward to remove his shirt to confirm whether he had Kaidor's distinct twin-dragon tattoo on his back; Aai then watched in outrage as Ward remained silent before offering himself up for arrest.

### Later Life

Immediately following this meeting, after talking through their current situation with Nob Nicole, Aai began demanding that Velda resign from office due to her secret meetings with Ward. She continued to pursue this for many months before Velda resigned and fled from Lucifenia sometime after September of EC 611.

Having been awakened to the dangers present in the world that could harm the foundation, Aai began focusing her efforts on rooting out corruption, both within her own company and within others throughout Lucifenia. Sometime after this, she married an unknown man, having at least one child with him. She later passed away in the mid-seventh century EC, with the position of foundation president passing to one of her children.

## Skills and Abilities

Aai was a proficient businesswoman, contributing to the Freezis Foundation's extensive growth and its development of the colonies in the New World. Despite her immense wealth and influence as the foundation's president, she largely delegated the leadership duties to her subordinates rather than manage the company herself; she improved slightly after the removal of her corrupt vice-president.

Aside from this, Aai was a capable diplomat and maintained a polite and friendly attitude while doing business, using this to garner better deals and cooperation from other officials.

## Character Connections

Ward Lucif: One of Aai's vice-presidents. Believing him to be trustworthy, she initially paid no mind to Ward's black market dealings and trusted him to maintain the foundation's affairs locally. However, she was shocked and outraged when his connections to the criminal organization Père Noël were revealed.

Nob Nicole: One of Aai's vice-presidents. Aai trusted Nob to handle the foundation's affairs in the New World and maintained a cordial business relationship with him.

Shaw Freezis: Aai's great-uncle and predecessor. Aai worked with him before his death and helped him expand the company's reach across Evillious and into the New World. However, she held a slight resentment towards him for favoring her uncle Dashaw. Despite this, she still mourned for him after his death.

Aile Freezis: Aai's grandmother. Due to Aile dying a few years after Aai's birth, she didn't get to interact much with her mother. Despite that, Aai still worked to improve her family's business to make her mother proud.
