With direct blood lineage to one of the Founding Families and a monopoly over the world's remaining mines, the Mizrahs are a family of wealth and power. Their motto? Loyalty to blood. Their willingness to do anything for family and the family business has allowed them to stay at the top of the social and wealth pyramid. Generally, their influence can be seen in debates over trade and legislature, where their interests lie. Their position on laws over the Gilded is very muted, but the family is generally in favor of the system.

Freida is the oldest of three and the one destined to inherit the family business. Even though she has always been her father's favorite, Freida was never able to escape her mother's wrath and obtain her disapproval. Since she could remember, Debbrah did everything possible to isolate her from the family and, had it not been for the family's emphasis on family loyalty and the importance of maintaining that public image, Freida would've been all but shunned. Freida struggled with this rejection for many years, until she began to find support in her father alone and to enjoy the gratification of proving Debbrah wrong. Despite the situation, Freida learned to put family and business above everything else. It was all she had, after all.

Freida began to shadow her father when she was ten, picking up everything rather quickly. She learned to have tough skin and to accept nothing less of perfect from her part and those around her. When she was twenty, Freida married a powerful politician, knowing that the bond would benefit the family business to have him on their side. Over the years, the marriage became symbolic more than anything, with the couple only spending time together at meetings and dinners or the occasional night together.

Everything was running smoothly until Freida learned something that would change her life forever. On her deathbed, Debbrah revealed that Freida was the daughter of a Gilded and Abramo, a union forbidden by law. A pregnancy had been faked and, in order to prevent rumors, Debbrah had reluctantly taken Freida in as her daughter. The truth helped Freida understand the many years of struggle between her and Debbrah, but it also made her furious. She felt impure and unworthy of the family business. When she confronted her father, he admitted to falling in love with a Gilded during the beginning of his marriage with Debbrah, which had also been arranged in order to help the business. In return for keeping Freida in the family, Abramo had agreed to never see her mother again or to have a Gilded. Freida asked her father to never speak of the subject again and it wasn’t touched again for some time.

For months, Freida tried to continue her life, but she was eaten away by the desire to know her mother. She returned to her father asking for help and, after a long discussion, he agreed to help her. When they located someone who might have known of the former Gilded's whereabouts, they learned that she was long dead. Worse, they learned that any Gilded taken out of the system was immediately eliminated. Horrified, Freida began to delve deeper into the practices of the Gilded System and the conditions of the lower class, information usually concealed from the public. Her father confessed to learning all of this for many years and offered her a starting position in the movement that had grown in response to these injustices: the Rebellion.
