It's "wideread" as in "fried bread". Fazzur is famous for his book-learning, which has taught him all about past military campaigns. He has extremely high knowledge skills re: military strategy and tactics.

: Fazzur was an avid scholar while young, so avid that his father feared
: at first that he would prove to be no soldier. Instead, his scholastic
: energies aided him in his rapid rise through the military. He was eager
: to use ancient military tricks and tactics in battle.

Though the nickname *may* mean something different in Sartarite...?
