...maybe Georgii-assassination-timeline!Fredersdorf never lived long enough to find out alchemy was bad for him :P

What I meant was that canonical, our-timeline Fredersdorf, never had reason to believe that mercury poisoning was a thing, *if* he ever had it in the first place, which is just a guess on our part.

But what did you mean, that Fredersdorf died because Fritz did? I was thinking at first defending him (awww), but he has to live long enough to time travel, so...broken heart? :(
