Froc, Mildred. A general and the head of the high command of the Borogravian army. She was the youngest captain ever appointed, and once danced with the Duchess. Her gender remained a secret all throughout her military career, but as a young officer she had confessed it to Sergeant Jackrum during the time when he carried her, wounded, through enemy territory.
     At her current more advanced age, Froc appears as a still handsome man. She is rather set in her ways. It took a visit from the shade of the Duchess to convince her to welcome women - openly female women, at least - into the army, and to call for a truce with Zlobenia.
     Froc is said to insist that soldiers must always be neatly clean-shaven.
