Fraa Gredick

First Appearance and Context

Fraa Gredick is encountered at a portcullis beneath the Praesidium during Apert, alongside Suur Trestanas and shortly after Fraa Orolo and a Tenner descend from the starhenge. Identified as the Master of the Keys, he drops the grid behind the returning avout and locks it, while portcullises at other cupolas are also closed—an unusual shutdown for the hour. He then asks Fid Erasmas to come with him, leading him away so that Suur Trestanas can confer in private with Fraa Orolo.

• Serves as the Master of the Keys, a hierarch who, under the Warden Regulant, manages the nightly portcullis access to the Praesidium stair and the Starhenge.
