===Tumultuous Childhood===
In EC 500, Shaw joined his father and mother in their meeting with the staff regarding King [[Kyle Marlon|Kyle's]] rejection of Princess [[Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche|Riliane]] in favor of their maid, [[Michaela]]. Sitting on Keel's lap, Shaw listened while the butler, [[List of Minor Characters in The Daughter of Evil#Bruno (EC 500)|Bruno]], explained the situation to everyone. When Keel vented his fury towards Kyle, slamming his arms on the table, the boy became scared and Mikina soothed him. Later on in the meeting, as his mother rallied everyone to follow the Freezis motto of protecting friends and family, including Michaela, Shaw pitched in his approval.
 
 
[[File:Keeldepressed3.png|thumb|left|250px|Shaw comforts his grief-stricken father]]In EC 504, Yukina ran away from home in pursuit of researching The Daughter of Evil, leaving Shaw and Aile to comfort their father as he became wracked with grief over her absence.{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praeludium of Red}} A few months later, Shaw heard rumors that the [[Gula Disease|Gula]] plague was spreading throughout Marlon.{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue|Chapter 2, Section 1}} During the following year, EC 505, Shaw noticed his mother repeatedly disappearing and coming backing back a few days later.{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue|Chapter 3, Section 2}} Around the same time, he heard rumors that the Gula epidemic was becoming especially bad up north, particularly around [[Castle Hedgehog]].{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue|Chapter 2, Section 1}}
   
 
Later on, Keel tasked Shaw with retrieving his sister Yukina and King Kyle. Given him letters for the two plus [[Germaine Avadonia]] and Gumillia, Shaw was sent on the Royal Victoricia as a messenger and an entourage of attendants and sailed to Lucifenia.{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praeludium of Red}} Finding his runaway sibling there, Shaw told Yukina what had occurred and gave her their father's summons.{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praeludium of Red}} After their departure for Marlon on the Victoricia, Shaw became reacquainted with Gumillia, developing a crush on her, and became her underling.
During the [[Green Hunting]], Shaw fled from his home with his family but was later captured by the [[Lucifenia|Lucifenian army]] and imprisoned in the [[Lucifenian Royal Palace|royal palace]] there. Once the family was released,<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Wiegenlied of Green - Chapter 4, Section 1</ref> Shaw lived at [[List of Minor Characters in The Daughter of Evil#Unknown Corpa|Corpa's]] [[Corpa Mansion|mansion]] in [[Rolled]] for a time before moving to the [[Bariti#Freezis Mansion|Freezis Mansion]] in [[Marlon]].

The next day, when a [[Bolganio Wildlife#Ziz Tiama Octopus|giant octopus]] had begun pursuing the ship, Shaw and his entourage helped with Gumillia's modifications of the cannons so that they could damage the creature's thick hide.{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue|Chapter 1}} After the octopus was defeated and they arrived at [[Marlon#Jamet|Jamet]], Shaw and the others said goodbye to the sailors while they headed off to the party; the group then took three carriages prepared for them, Shaw joined by his sister, Germaine, and Gumillia.

Once they reached [[Bariti]], Shaw asked his sister about her journeys and gazed at Gumillia. He later caught his sister eyeing the lines of people outside the [[Bariti#Levin Church|church]] and explained they were all afflicted will Gula and hoping for free medicine from the church; he also mentioned the rumors he had heard about the [[Marlon#Blood Pool|Blood Pool]] region. The four finally arrived at the Freezis mansion and Shaw had a servant announce them to Keel; Keel shortly after received them and had Yukina summon Mikina for dinner, while Shaw checked on Aile.
[[File:Keeldepressed3.png|thumb|250px|Shaw comforts his grief-stricken father]]In EC 504, Yukina ran away from home in pursuit of researching The Daughter of Evil, leaving Shaw and Aile to comfort their father as he became wracked with grief over her absence.<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praeludium of Red</ref> A few months later, Shaw heard rumors that the [[Gula Disease|Gula]] plague was spreading throughout Marlon.<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue - Chapter 2, Section 1</ref>
 
   
During the following year, EC 505, Shaw noticed his mother had been repeatedly disappearing and coming backing back a few days later. Because his mother acted like nothing had happened, he ignored it.<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue - Chapter 3, Section 2</ref> Around the same time, he heard rumors that the Gula epidemic was becoming especially bad up north, particularly around [[Castle Hedgehog]].<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue - Chapter 2, Section 1</ref>
+
Letting Aile know that Yukina had returned home, he followed his young sister when she ran off to see her and told his sisters and mother to come to dinner. The family headed to the dining hall and ate dinner with Germaine and Gumillia. After they all had finished, Shaw watched his father offer their guests to stay the night before telling about their journey. He then, with Yukina, had to stop the drunk Germaine from rambling about their terrible experiences at sea to his horrified parents. Everyone then retired for the night.{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue|Chapter 2, Section 1}}
   
 
Later, Shaw accompanied his father and their maid, [[Gerda]], to Keel's meeting with King Kyle at [[Marlon Castle]]. After Kyle entered the audience chamber in [[Marlon Castle#Right Palace|Right Palace]], he had Shaw sent on a tour of the palace in order to speak with Keel privately. Once he was finished with the tour, Shaw returned with his father and Gerda.{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue|Chapter 3, Section 1}}
Later on, Keel tasked Shaw with retrieving his elder sister and King Kyle. Given him letters for the two plus [[Germaine Avadonia]] and Gumillia, Shaw was sent on the Royal Victoricia as a messenger and an entourage of attendants and sailed to Lucifenia.<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praeludium of Red</ref> Finding his runaway sibling there, the messenger told Yukina what had occurred and gave her their father's summons, worried of Keel's despair for losing both children.<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praeludium of Red</ref>
 
   
 
After the [[Hedgehog Upheaval|battle]] for [[Castle Hedgehog]] and Keel's injury, Shaw became concerned as Mikina went missing again; after two weeks, he also discovered a letter from Yukina addressed to Kyle, explaining that she had left Marlon. Shaw immediately ran to find Kyle in [[Marlon Castle#Left Chapel|Left Chapel]], finding him speaking to Arkatoir among the graves. As the concerned king asked about Keel, Shaw breathlessly explained to him how his mother was missing, before handing over Yukina's letter.{{ref|book|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue|Chapter 3, Section 2}}
===Voyage to Marlon===
 
{{Quote|You called, Miss Gumillia!''"<br/>"''We've received permission. I entrust you with the arrangements.''"<br/>"''Yes, maam!|Gumillia and Shaw|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue}}
 
 
After their departure for Marlon on the Victoricia, Shaw became reacquainted with Gumillia and acted as his crush's underling. The next day, when a [[Bolganio Wildlife#Ziz Tiama Octopus|giant octopus]] had begun pursuing the ship, Shaw agreed to help with Gumillia's modifications of the cannons once she required permission. After waiting below deck for some time, Shaw heard the mage snap for him and leaped out onto the main deck with his entourage to answer her call. Once Gumillia confirmed she'd received permission and entrusted him with the preparations, the boy happily obliged and headed to the battery deck, tasking his attendants to modify the cannons as the sorceress had instructed.<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue - Chapter 1</ref>
 
 
===Return Home===
 
{{Quote|Big house as usual.''"<br/>"''What's with that? Saying stuff like that now.|Yukina and Shaw|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue}}
 
 
After the octopus was defeated and they arrived at [[Marlon#Jamet|Jamet]], Shaw and the others said goodbye to the sailors while they headed off to the party; the group then took three carriages prepared for them, Shaw joined by his sister and two attendants. Once they reached [[Bariti]], Shaw asked his sister about her long time away from the city, using the opportunity to stare just past her and look at Gumillia.
 
 
Once they crossed into the [[Bariti#Northern District|Northern District]] and approached the [[Bariti#Levin Church|church]], Shaw noticed his sister staring at the lines of people and explained they were all afflicted will Gula, surmising that the church was handing out free medicine. When Yukina asked if anyone had died, the boy stated very few had because of the church's early action, though mentioning the rumors he had heard about the [[Marlon#Blood Pool|Blood Pool]] region.
 
 
After they arrived at the Freezis Mansion, Yukina noted the house was still huge while dismounting the carriage and Shaw questioned her words. After being greeted by the waiting servant, Shaw asked the boy to tell Keel that he brought Yukina and guests. The servant boy complied and the four waited a short while. Afterward, Shaw watched the merchant rush over and dote on his daughter and greet the two visitors. He then observed Yukina tell their father she wanted to go see their mother and Aile next and listened to Keel tell her to call them to dinner so they could together as a family.
 
 
Once Keel left with the guests, one of Shaw's attendants stated they would take their leave too. The boy admitted it had been hard on them, noting they should rest for the day. After they left, Shaw told his sister to go to their mother's room while he checked on Aile. After his sister offhandedly questioned what he said, Shaw hesitantly inquired if she had changed, given what just occurred with their father. Yukina then glared and told him he should speak better to his elder sister regardless.
 
 
Shaw then apologized, explaining he had heard something strange, and shrugged before heading off to Aile's room. After telling his younger sister that Yukina was home and checking on their mother, Aile ran off to see Yukina and Shaw went after her. Opening the door to the room, the boy poked his head inside and told his mothers sisters they should go to the table immediately, expressing his own hunger. Mikina complied and they all headed to the dining hall.
 
 
Once the food was served and they were all seated, the family ate with Germaine and Gumillia. After they all had finished, Shaw watched her father recommend their two guests rest in the bedrooms and recount what happened tomorrow. As the drunk Germaine ranted about their terrible experiences at sea, horrifying his parents, Yukina interrupted that they could hear the rest of the story tomorrow and Shaw then added that everyone was tired and should do as their father said. With the two managing to subside the situation, everyone retired for the night.<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue - Chapter 2, Section 1</ref>
 
 
===Battle and Returning Storm===
 
{{Quote|Shaw? You should've gone through proper procedures for an audience—''"<br/>"''I'm sorry. I was in a hurry and had to come here to shake off the soldiers.|Kyle and Shaw|The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue}}
 
 
Later, Shaw accompanied his father and their maid, [[Gerda]], to Keel's meeting with King Kyle at [[Marlon Castle]]. After they entered the audience chamber in [[Marlon Castle#Right Palace|Right Palace]], Shaw waited for a while before Kyle entered the room; the boy immediately knelt before the King. Kyle then noted Shaw hadn't been to the palace before and sent him on a tour with his parliamentary secretary, [[Arkatoir Marlon|Arkatoir]], and Gerda. Once Arkatoir finished giving the tour, Shaw and Gerda returned with his father.<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue - Chapter 3, Section 1</ref>
 
 
After the [[Battle of Castle Hedgehog|battle]] for [[Castle Hedgehog]] and Keel's injury, Shaw noticed his mother had suddenly disappeared again. After two weeks, he grew concerned that she hadn't returned and then discovered a letter from Yukina addressed to Kyle, explaining that she had left Marlon. Running to Marlon Castle, Shaw learned Kyle was in [[Marlon Castle#Left Chapel|Left Chapel]] and sprinted to the crypt while avoiding the guards. Once he found the King speaking to Arkatoir among the graves, he called to him, out of breath.
 
 
When Kyle tried to reprimand him for not getting an audience, the boy quickly explained that he had an urgent task. The King questioned if it was related to Keel and Shaw affirmed his condition was stable, though still in a coma. During Kyle's speech regarding him taking up his father's mantle with Mikina's help, Shaw interjected that his mother was missing, explaining how he'd initially brushed it off. He then added that Yukina had also vanished and handed over her letter to the King.<ref>The Daughter of Evil: Praefacio of Blue - Chapter 3, Section 2</ref>

With his father's injury became a permanent condition even after waking from his coma, Shaw was made the new head of the Freezis Firm. While under the guidance of his father and several aides, Shaw began improving the firm and it flourished under his leadership. In EC 531, he reorganized the firm and established the "[[Freezis Foundation]]" in its place.{{ref|book|Epic of Evil: The Daughter of Evil Fanbook|Aftermath Shaw}} Around that time, he established a Freezis publishing company for Yukina's popular Freezis Fairy Tales and their copyrights.
   
 
Sometime afterward, Keel passed away and Mikina disappeared; just before her death, Shaw managed to track her down and he, with his sisters, rushed to his mother's side.{{ref|book|Epic of Evil: The Daughter of Evil Fanbook|Aftermath Mikina}} As he grew up, Shaw learned that the mage [[Abyss I.R.]] and the [[vessels of sin]] were responsible for his father's injury and his mother's unhappiness and swore vengeance on her. He also began to fear the prospect of growing old and dying, begging Elluka to give him the secret to her eternal youth.

The mage refused, unable to teach him her method,{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 7}} and Shaw had the Foundation begin informal experiments to discover the secret to immortality. As part of these experiments,{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: The Tailor of Enbizaka|Chapter 1, Act 5}} he made a pilgrimage to the new [[Bolganio Wildlife#Millennium Tree|Millennium Tree]] and begged for eternal youth; as a result of his wish, Shaw was granted an extended lifespan.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 7}} During this time, he married and sired several children.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 2}} Eventually, Shaw took on [[List of Minor Characters in Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep#Bruno Marlon|Bruno Marlon]] as his personal aide.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 2}}
Sometime afterward, Keel passed away and his mother disappeared, not telling them where she went. Tracking her down to an obscure home in Marlon, Shaw told his sisters the news and the three siblings rushed to Mikina's side just before her death.<ref>Epic of Evil: The Daughter of Evil Fanbook - Aftermath - Mikina</ref> At some point, Shaw learned that the mage [[Abyss I.R.]] and the [[Vessels of Sin|vessels of sin]] were responsible for his father's injury and his mother's unhappiness and swore vengeance on the elusive, immortal sorceress.
 
   
 
As organized crime rose in [[Evillious]], Shaw managed to convince all of its nations to merge their existing security forces into an international police organization, the [[World Police]], which was established in EC 573;{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 5}} during the period, Shaw had a [[Interrogation Execution Department|secret police branch]] established in the organization under his direct command. Shaw and the foundation also created the Lost List for Yukina's lost works, having the World Police heavily enforce any illegal trade violating the Freezis Fairy Tales' copyright. He also established several other organizations within the foundation umbrella, including the [[Schuburg Newspaper]] in Aceid. 
Later on, Shaw began to fear the prospect of growing old and dying. Seeking out Elluka, he begged the sorceress to give him the secret to eternal youth. The mage refused, unable to teach him her method of immortality. He then made a pilgrimage to the new [[Bolganio Wildlife#Millennium Tree|Millennium Tree]] and begged for eternal youth; as a result of his wish, Shaw was granted an extended [[human]] lifespan.<ref>Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep - Chapter 7</ref> During this time, he married and sired several children.<ref>Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep - Chapter 2</ref> Eventually, Shaw took on [[List of Minor Characters in Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep#Bruno Marlon|Bruno Marlon]] as his personal aide.<ref>Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep - Chapter 2</ref>
 
 
As organized crime rose in [[Evillious]], Shaw proposed that an international police organization be formed under the Foundation umbrella, merging the security forces already existing in several countries into a single network. When opposition rose among some of the aristocracy for giving the foundation such centralized power, Shaw explained that the organization would operate independently of any single business or nation and that each government would be able to maintain jurisdiction over their own police forces.
 
 
Afterward, Shaw's proposal was approved by the Evillious governments and the [[World Police]] was established in EC 573;<ref>Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep - Chapter 5</ref> during the period, Shaw had a [[Interrogation Execution Department|secret police branch]] established in the organization under his direct command.

At some point, Shaw established several other organizations within the foundation umbrella, including the [[Bolganio Literature#Shuburke Issues|Shuburke Newspaper]] in Aceid.

After his great-granddaughters, [[List of Minor Characters in Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep#Hanne Lorre (former)|Hanne]] and [[List of Minor Characters in Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep#Heidemarie Lorre (former)|Heidemarie Lorre]], passed away from illness, Shaw allowed Elluka and Gumillia to masquerade as the two so they could fade away from the public eye, Elluka to become "Hanne" while Gumillia became "Heidemarie".{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 6}} Committed to eradicating the vessels of sin, he permitted Hanne to use all the resources and power of the foundation whenever she wanted to assist in her quest to collect the vessels.{{ref|book|Epic of Evil: The Daughter of Evil Fanbook|Aftermath – Shaw}}
   
 
To maintain their incognito, Shaw assigned Heidemarie as part of the World Police's International Tasks department while Hanne was made a reporter for the Schuburg Newspaper. Afterwards, Shaw had his information network look into finding potential leads for the vessels of sin and the mage with the red cat. In EC 593, the foundation-funded exposition overseas discovered the western continent of [[Maistia]], and the landmass was colonized soon after for trade with Evillious.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 2}}

Shaw agreed to the arrangement, permitting Elluka to become "Hanne" while Gumillia became "Heidemarie". Committed to eradicating the vessels of sin, the businessman permitted Hanne to use all the resources and power of the foundation whenever she wanted to assist in her quest to collect the vessels.
 
 
He then quickly received criticism from the other foundation members, including Bruno, for making such a rash decision without their consent.<ref>Epic of Evil: The Daughter of Evil Fanbook - Aftermath - Shaw</ref> To maintain their incognito, Shaw assigned Heidemarie as part of the World Police's International Tasks department while Hanne was made a reporter for the Shurburke Newspaper.

[[File:ShawVisit.png|right|thumb|250px|Shaw receives Hanne]]A year later, around the end of August, Shaw learned that the organization's leader, First Santa Claus, was allegedly visiting the town of [[Toragay]] under the alias of "Elluka Clockworker". Immediately afterward, Shaw summoned Hanne and received her in early September, Bruno announcing her entry. After making small talk with his "great-granddaughter," the two briefly and obscurely discussed his search for Abyss I.R. and the sin vessels.
   
  +
He then started to bring up Toragay, only to learn Hanne's findings on the death of Toragay's Marquis, [[Kaspar Blankenheim]], the woman skeptical about the diagnosis that it was due to illness. After musing on her suspicions, their conversation moved on to Père Noël; as Hanne stated her findings that Kaspar was the organization's leader, Shaw corrected her with what he had heard about First Santa Claus.
After the construction of the [[Bariti#Freezis Foundation Headquarters|Freezis Foundation's headquarters]] in EC 599, Shaw moved into the building as his personal quarters; at some point, he contracted an illness and became bedridden.<ref>Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep - Chapter 5</ref> After the emergence of the criminal organization [[Père Noël]], Shaw had his informants learn about the organization. In EC 608, Hanne visited her fake great-grandfather for a time before returning to Elphegort.
 
   
 
Shaw then offered to place the World Police under her control to investigate the matter, in spite of the opposition he would likely face for it. He also added he would arrange for Heidemarie to assist her once she finished her current case; after their talk concluded, Shaw decided to rest and sent Hanne off.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 2}} Over a month later, on October 17, EC 609, Shaw died peacefully in his sleep.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 5}}
A year later, around the end of August, the businessman learned that the organization's leader, First Santa Claus, was allegedly visiting the town of [[Toragay]] every so often, claiming to be the mage "Elluka Clockworker". Immediately afterward, Shaw sent his summons for Hanne to the Shuburke Newspaper. In early September, while Shaw was being attended to by his maids, Bruno knocked on the door and announced that Hanne had arrived.
 
 
Pleased, the CEO beckoned the mage inside and greeted her. When asked how he was feeling, he lightheartedly admitted he felt awful. As he tried to point out what it was like to be at his age, he suddenly laughed at his difficulty to even recall it.  After stating he had [[God]] to thank for his long life, he expressed his glee that she accepted his invitation. Looking around, he asked if she wanted him to clear the room for their privacy and Hanne refused, teasing how Bruno wouldn't want the two of them alone.
 
 
When Hanne then inquired if he had found "that", Shaw recalled how much "that" brought his parents so much misery and made him vengeful toward it. Once Hanne reassured him she would fulfill his wish with his help, Shaw voiced his gratitude before noting their objective was in Toragay. Noticing Hanne's surprise, Shaw asked if she had already found something there; when she noted it was for a separate matter, Shaw asked if she could share it.
 
 
Hanne complied and explained that Toragay's Marquis, [[Kaspar Blankenheim]], had recently died and that she didn't believe his [[Marx Felix|father-in-law's]] diagnosis that it was illness. Shaw inferred she suspected foul play and Hanne noted it was just a guess, as no evidence supported it; after pointing out it was simply her suspicions, the mage pointed out that Yukina's [[Bolganio Literature#Yukina Freezis' Memoirs|memoirs]] noted that many "coincidences" turned out to be "laws".
 
 
Amused, Shaw laughed it off before teasing that he couldn't provide any more help, if she was already looking into Toragay. Hanne retorted that she would only need his information. Quoting his father's mantra, Shaw noted information was indeed important, hence their talk. Inquiring if she knew of Père Noël's connection to Toragay, Hanne answered that her investigation determined Kaspar was the organization's leader, meaning they had already lost their head.
 
 
Impressed by her swift investigation, Shaw repeatedly nodded before pointing out there was an inconsistency. As he tried to explain how the information differed, he began violently coughing. When Bruno attempted to make him rest, Shaw brushed aside his aide's hand and told him not to mind, saying this was an old man's reason for living and he'd only get worse if they stopped there. Once he finished explaining that the leader was supposedly a woman visiting the town, he noted she claimed to be a "mage", whether the title was authentic or not.
 
 
When Hanne insisted to know her name, the businessman answered her, noting the importance that name meant to her. Shaw then declared he would place the World Police under her control to investigate the matter. As Hanne noted the antagonism such actions would bring, glancing at Bruno, Shaw laughed while shaking his head. The elderly man then stated he wasn't going to live much longer anyhow, so he didn't care what others thought of him using the organization selfishly.
 
 
He then added he would arrange for Heidemarie to assist her once she finished her current case. Hanne expressed certainty she'd solve it before that and Shaw encouraged her to find this Elluka they've been hearing of.  Coughing again, Shaw questioned if he spoke for too long and decided to rest for a bit. Taking a pill brought to him by one of his caretakers, Shaw laid down and went to sleep as Hanne left.<ref>Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep - Chapter 2</ref> Over a month later, on October 17, EC 609, Shaw died peacefully in his sleep.<ref>Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep - Chapter 5</ref>

After his death, the entirety of Marlon was wrapped in grief for days, with the whole capital of Bariti dressed in mourning for his loss during the period. After being laid in a coffin in preparation of his funeral, Bruno allowed Hanne and Heidemarie to visit him before the rest of the family. When Bruno attempted to arrest the two immediately after, Hanne told the belligerent Heidemarie not to resist, saying they shouldn't disturb Shaw while he's resting.

Shaw Freezis was the head of the Freezis Family in Marlon and the founder of the Freezis Foundation. Raised to become his father's successor, Shaw acted as Keel's aide and attendant for much of his young life. After his father suffered a permanent handicap, he took over the family's international business, eventually reorganizing it as the Foundation.

History

Early Life

Shaw was born in the Kingdom of Elphegort in EC 493[1] to Keel and Mikina Freezis. As an infant, Shaw's Elphe nanny collaborated with Mikina's father, Duke Sfarz, in an attempt to kidnap Shaw that was interrupted by Mikina arriving home. After his mother inadvertently unleashed the power of the Marlon Spoon, the vessel's flames burned Shaw's back while killing his grandfather and the nanny. Soon after, the family moved into a new mansion and Shaw was raised with his parents' attention to be the heir to Keel's Freezis Firm.[2]

In EC 500, Shaw joined his father and mother in their meeting with the staff regarding King Kyle's rejection of Princess Riliane in favor of their maid, Michaela. During the Green Hunting, Shaw fled from his home with his family but was later captured by the Lucifenian army and imprisoned in the royal palace there. Once the family was released,[3] Shaw lived at Corpa's mansion in Rolled for a time before moving to the Freezis Mansion in Marlon. When Elluka Clockworker and Gumillia hid in the mansion to escape the Lucifenian army, Shaw and his siblings, Yukina and Aile, played with the mages before they left in EC 501.[4]

Tumultuous Childhood

Keeldepressed3

Shaw comforts his grief-stricken father

In EC 504, Yukina ran away from home in pursuit of researching The Daughter of Evil, leaving Shaw and Aile to comfort their father as he became wracked with grief over her absence.[5] A few months later, Shaw heard rumors that the Gula plague was spreading throughout Marlon.[6] During the following year, EC 505, Shaw noticed his mother repeatedly disappearing and coming backing back a few days later.[7] Around the same time, he heard rumors that the Gula epidemic was becoming especially bad up north, particularly around Castle Hedgehog.[6]

Later on, Keel tasked Shaw with retrieving his sister Yukina and King Kyle. Given him letters for the two plus Germaine Avadonia and Gumillia, Shaw was sent on the Royal Victoricia as a messenger and an entourage of attendants and sailed to Lucifenia.[5] Finding his runaway sibling there, Shaw told Yukina what had occurred and gave her their father's summons.[5] After their departure for Marlon on the Victoricia, Shaw became reacquainted with Gumillia, developing a crush on her, and became her underling.

The next day, when a giant octopus had begun pursuing the ship, Shaw and his entourage helped with Gumillia's modifications of the cannons so that they could damage the creature's thick hide.[8] After the octopus was defeated and they arrived at Jamet, Shaw and the others said goodbye to the sailors while they headed off to the party; the group then took three carriages prepared for them, Shaw joined by his sister, Germaine, and Gumillia.

Once they reached Bariti, Shaw asked his sister about her journeys and gazed at Gumillia. He later caught his sister eyeing the lines of people outside the church and explained they were all afflicted will Gula and hoping for free medicine from the church; he also mentioned the rumors he had heard about the Blood Pool region. The four finally arrived at the Freezis mansion and Shaw had a servant announce them to Keel; Keel shortly after received them and had Yukina summon Mikina for dinner, while Shaw checked on Aile.

Letting Aile know that Yukina had returned home, he followed his young sister when she ran off to see her and told his sisters and mother to come to dinner. The family headed to the dining hall and ate dinner with Germaine and Gumillia. After they all had finished, Shaw watched his father offer their guests to stay the night before telling about their journey. He then, with Yukina, had to stop the drunk Germaine from rambling about their terrible experiences at sea to his horrified parents. Everyone then retired for the night.[6]

Later, Shaw accompanied his father and their maid, Gerda, to Keel's meeting with King Kyle at Marlon Castle. After Kyle entered the audience chamber in Right Palace, he had Shaw sent on a tour of the palace in order to speak with Keel privately. Once he was finished with the tour, Shaw returned with his father and Gerda.[9]

After the battle for Castle Hedgehog and Keel's injury, Shaw became concerned as Mikina went missing again; after two weeks, he also discovered a letter from Yukina addressed to Kyle, explaining that she had left Marlon. Shaw immediately ran to find Kyle in Left Chapel, finding him speaking to Arkatoir among the graves. As the concerned king asked about Keel, Shaw breathlessly explained to him how his mother was missing, before handing over Yukina's letter.[7]

Business Exploits

With his father's injury became a permanent condition even after waking from his coma, Shaw was made the new head of the Freezis Firm. While under the guidance of his father and several aides, Shaw began improving the firm and it flourished under his leadership. In EC 531, he reorganized the firm and established the "Freezis Foundation" in its place.[10] Around that time, he established a Freezis publishing company for Yukina's popular Freezis Fairy Tales and their copyrights.

Sometime afterward, Keel passed away and Mikina disappeared; just before her death, Shaw managed to track her down and he, with his sisters, rushed to his mother's side.[11] As he grew up, Shaw learned that the mage Abyss I.R. and the vessels of sin were responsible for his father's injury and his mother's unhappiness and swore vengeance on her. He also began to fear the prospect of growing old and dying, begging Elluka to give him the secret to her eternal youth.

The mage refused, unable to teach him her method,[12] and Shaw had the Foundation begin informal experiments to discover the secret to immortality. As part of these experiments,[13] he made a pilgrimage to the new Millennium Tree and begged for eternal youth; as a result of his wish, Shaw was granted an extended lifespan.[12] During this time, he married and sired several children.[14] Eventually, Shaw took on Bruno Marlon as his personal aide.[14]

As organized crime rose in Evillious, Shaw managed to convince all of its nations to merge their existing security forces into an international police organization, the World Police, which was established in EC 573;[15] during the period, Shaw had a secret police branch established in the organization under his direct command. Shaw and the foundation also created the Lost List for Yukina's lost works, having the World Police heavily enforce any illegal trade violating the Freezis Fairy Tales' copyright. He also established several other organizations within the foundation umbrella, including the Schuburg Newspaper in Aceid. 

A New Family

After his great-granddaughters, Hanne and Heidemarie Lorre, passed away from illness, Shaw allowed Elluka and Gumillia to masquerade as the two so they could fade away from the public eye, Elluka to become "Hanne" while Gumillia became "Heidemarie".[16] Committed to eradicating the vessels of sin, he permitted Hanne to use all the resources and power of the foundation whenever she wanted to assist in her quest to collect the vessels.[10]

To maintain their incognito, Shaw assigned Heidemarie as part of the World Police's International Tasks department while Hanne was made a reporter for the Schuburg Newspaper. Afterwards, Shaw had his information network look into finding potential leads for the vessels of sin and the mage with the red cat. In EC 593, the foundation-funded exposition overseas discovered the western continent of Maistia, and the landmass was colonized soon after for trade with Evillious.[14]

Later on, Shaw appointed his grandson, Dashaw, as his successor, only for Dashaw to die protecting Hanne during the Lioness Burning Incident in EC 597. After the World Police's investigation determined the incident was allegedly caused by "Elluka Clockworker", Shaw poured resourced into finding the impostor. After the construction of the Freezis Foundation's headquarters in EC 599, Shaw moved into the building as his personal quarters, sometime after, he became bedridden.[15] Meanwhile he had his informants investigate the new criminal organization Père Noël. In EC 608, Hanne visited Shaw for a time before returning to Elphegort.[14]

Later Life

"How's your health?"
"Just awful. When you become a hundred and sixteen... Oh dear... a hundred and seventeen? No, was it a hundred and fifteen? Ha ha ha, I've even forgotten how to count my age."
―Elluka and Shaw[src]
ShawVisit

Shaw receives Hanne

A year later, around the end of August, Shaw learned that the organization's leader, First Santa Claus, was allegedly visiting the town of Toragay under the alias of "Elluka Clockworker". Immediately afterward, Shaw summoned Hanne and received her in early September, Bruno announcing her entry. After making small talk with his "great-granddaughter," the two briefly and obscurely discussed his search for Abyss I.R. and the sin vessels.

He then started to bring up Toragay, only to learn Hanne's findings on the death of Toragay's Marquis, Kaspar Blankenheim, the woman skeptical about the diagnosis that it was due to illness. After musing on her suspicions, their conversation moved on to Père Noël; as Hanne stated her findings that Kaspar was the organization's leader, Shaw corrected her with what he had heard about First Santa Claus.

Shaw then offered to place the World Police under her control to investigate the matter, in spite of the opposition he would likely face for it. He also added he would arrange for Heidemarie to assist her once she finished her current case; after their talk concluded, Shaw decided to rest and sent Hanne off.[14] Over a month later, on October 17, EC 609, Shaw died peacefully in his sleep.[15]

Legacy

After Shaw's death, the entirety of Marlon was wrapped in grief for days, with the whole capital of Bariti dressed in mourning for his loss during the period. After being laid in a coffin in preparation of his funeral, Bruno allowed Hanne and Heidemarie to visit him before the rest of the family. When Bruno attempted to arrest the two immediately after, Hanne told the belligerent Heidemarie not to resist, saying they shouldn't disturb Shaw while he's resting.

Having no living children left nor a proper heir, the Foundation selected Shaw's grandniece, Aai, as his successor a month later.[15] The Freezis Foundation itself continued to persist with its strong economic and political hold across Evillious and the New World after his passing.[10] Without Shaw's support, Elluka and Gumillia shed their false identities and acted independently of the foundation, eventually infiltrating Père Noël to obtain more information on its leader, Julia Abelard, and the vessels of sin she seemingly owned.

Personality and Traits

"Yes, "that"... Thinking back, some of the commotion I experienced in my youth—was also because of "that". I became much more aware of it as an adult. In that sense, I and "that" are tied by fate. For it ruining my mother and father's lives... I must take revenge."
―Shaw regarding the vessels of sin[src]

Shaw was a gentle, loyal, but stubborn man. Raised with a kind and studious upbringing, he was decisive in business and loving with family.[7] Likewise, Shaw treated everyone, whether they be peasant or royalty, with the same courtesy, politeness, and respect. At the same time, Shaw wasn't rigid in his upbringing, choosing to deviate from official procedures in the case of an emergency.[7] He was very trusting as well, from trusting Elluka with Foundation resources to never suspecting his aide Bruno Marlon of wrongdoing.[10]

Throughout life Shaw had a reserved, calm, and restrained demeanor,[6] as well as being a decisive and stubborn businessman.[17] He also acted somewhat oblivious at times,[7] as well as a little mischievous when he wanted something.[6] Likewise, age made Shaw more and more apathetic to the interests of his constituents, giving little care to what others thought of his use of his economic and political power. Although in his youth Shaw became tormented by the thought of growing old and dying, as he grew old in his extended life he came to accept his eventual demise with good humor.[17]

Likewise, Shaw showed a loving sentiment with his siblings.[6] As part of the Freezis family, Shaw shared its convictions towards family and friends, holding even their servants in high regard, and willing to protect them above all else.[18] He similarly worked closely with his descendants and relatives in the Freezis Foundation, as well as becoming vengeful towards the vessels of sin and interested in HER Syndrome because of the misery both things caused upon his parents.[17]

Skills and Abilities

From a young age, Shaw showed a certain aptitude of intelligence and was a capable attendant for his father whenever needed.[18] In his youth he was also impressively nimble, even able to outrun trained soldiers.[7] Under the guidance of his father and other excellent aides,[19] Shaw gradually developed a strong business sense and used it to help propel the Freezis Firm, and later Freezis Foundation, to new heights.[10]

As the founder and CEO of the Freezis Foundation, Shaw's wealth and influence was nearly infinite, having control of all the Foundation's resources and sub-divisions under the organization's umbrella. As a result, he held strong business relations with all the Evillious governments and controlled an extensive information network throughout the region. Due to the blessing of the Millennium Tree, Shaw was able to live an exceptionally long life for a human, though his health would still inevitably deteriorate over time.[17]
