Early Years
Even as a child, Flerp
had a talent for the arcane arts, in particular, ice magic. He
was one of the youngest students to ever study at the
Polywerp School of Magic.
Celinda the Mistress
of Ice
At age 30, Flerp married
is sweetheart, Celinda. Sadly, she was murdered less than a
year later by a rival wizard who couldn't stand Flerp having any
happiness in his life. Many believe this is the point at which
Flerp started to lose his mind.

Is it hot in here or is
it just Flerp?
Schoolmaster
Flerp took over the role
as Schoolmaster of the Polywerp
School of Magic after the death of
Justice the Gazer. Having a history of mental illness,
his new position was rather controversial.

Flerp hides in the sewers.
Outcast
Flerp
was accused of kidnapping and
murdering Prince Christophe of
Port Aardvark.
He went into hiding, living in the sewers beneath
Polywerp.
During this time, the ice wizard helped his student
JayKey, and his friends
Datton and Taylor
all of whom were also wanted by the Polywerp authorities.

Flerp battles Mojave's legion.
Battle with Mojave
After his friends were
trapped in the Abyss, Taylor
sought the aid of Flerp. Though it took some coaxing, the ice
wizard finally agreed to battle the wicked
Mojave. Flerp fought wildly, blasting down many of the
undead fiend's troops, but was, eventually, overwhelmed and killed.
Fortunately, he was able to steal the
Tome of the Dead from
Mojave before his death.

Flerp, now a lich, takes on
Billy as an apprentice.
Ice Lich
Flerp's power was too
great and he was reborn, colder than even in life. Now undead,
the lich was offered a domain to rule within the
Dungeon of Despair.
To this day, the lich still dwells in his icy lair.

Real-life Origins
Flerp was a character I
created as a young teenager playing pen-and-paper Dungeons and
Dragons. He is a character I've used on several occasions
outside of WunderComics.
