Who is Flycatcher?

As a young man, Ambrose was cursed by Frau Totenkinder to become a frog until a kiss from a princess freed him from his amphibious form. However, the cure was not permanent. Whenever Ambrose became overly excited or nervous, he would revert to frog form again. However, having married the princess, this did not present much of a problem. They had a family and he was about to marry off his oldest daughter when his kingdom was attacked by the forces of The Adversary . As they broke into the tower, the frightened Ambrose reverted to frog form and was forced to watch as the Goblin raped his wife and daughter and slew them and his entire family. Since he was just a small frog, the forces did not take notice of him. It is believed that he stole a final kiss from the lips of his dying wife which reverted him to his true form.
