Fruine Schael was a trader for Uthan during the early 660s and late 680s. He was known for primarily trading with the Republic of Valdar, and took a keen interest in their technologies seen nowhere else in the world. Over a period of time, he would slowly infiltrate and build trust within the ranks of Valdarian merchants, and eventually managed to acquire gunpowder and muskets. He would then smuggle them out of the country, distributing them to the highest bidder, spreading the knowledge of guns to the entire world.
Fruine made this smuggling journey about seven times over the course of one and a half years, in total smuggling 1200 muskets and 100,000 pounds of gunpowder out of Valdar. He was eventually caught by the authorities, and sentenced to death for betraying the state. Ironically, he was executed by firing squad.
