History
Eliza was a street orphan picked up by the Wizards' College's former department head of enchantment, Werbon. Werbon taught Eliza the basics of magic from a young age. At this time, young Eliza also became friends with two other children her age, a halfling pickpocket and a wealthy heir.

When Eliza reached the age of 15, Werbon attempted a magical experiment on her. He used a magical helmet that he created to attempt to overwrite Eliza's own personality with his own. His goal was immortality through body swapping. The helmet would transfer his knowledge and personality into Eliza. However, the experiment failed. The helmet only transferred Werbon's knowledge to Eliza. Werbon's personality was rebounded back into his own mind. In this moment of confusion, Eliza undid her bonds and slew the twisted wizard.

Eliza left College soon afterwards, helmet in hand. She realized that she would not last long outside the College with no skills. Using the helmet would allow her to access Werbon's magic knowledge, but the act of doing so made her sick each time.

At that moment, Eliza found her resolve and joined the guard, taking the name of a minor goddess of victory, "Freyer". Years later, she found her hard work rewarded and became captain. Freyer worked tirelessly for Undare, even working in tandem with her old friend in the Thieves' Guild. She hid her actual gender with the helmet at first, but found out during the sahugin invasion. The guard at this time was well trained by Freyer, and their respect for her did not diminish.

Recently, Freyer has been working on a new spellbook to put an end to her reliance on the helmet.
