I wonder how he got in Arendelle in the first place. Was he a slave who was set free or a slave who was rescued? Or was he possibly the descendant of a slave? The first numbers of minor black population started arriving in Europe when many conversos (Jews pretending to be Christians) started selling slaves to in the colonies as well as in Europe. I personally believe that the King and Queen of Arendelle might have rescued him and saw his potential and allowed him into the military.

He has to be the son of a slave or a freed slave himself as he has a European last name and he's listed under African characters. Plus if you look all throughout Arendelle in the first film and in the shorts, Arendelle is homogenously Scandinavian Norwegian white. Though I will say that I really like the fact that they're showing more Sami people in this new film.
