Character from deaths-end by
Aboriginal elder, hibernated for his cultural knowledge, who took in AA and Cheng Xin during the resettlement and never blamed anyone for anything.
Fraisse was born in the Common Era as one of the last fluent custodians of his people's language and was put into hibernation expressly to preserve that knowledge across centuries. He awoke in a wrecked future, kept his land when most could not, and refused to leave it during the Australian resettlement — Trisolaran policy permitted indigenous holdouts to remain. Unlike almost every other character in the trilogy, he does not hate the Trisolarans; he does not really hate anyone. He takes in two starving women he does not know and cooks for them and tells them stories around a fire while four billion others starve. His patience is not philosophy, it is a way of being old. He lives to one hundred and fifty.
A small, weathered man with deep brown skin, white hair, eyes the color of river stones. Walks barefoot when the ground allows. Wears whatever the camp provides without complaint, usually a faded canvas shirt and trousers belted with rope. Smells of woodsmoke and dust. Smiles often, with most of his teeth.
