Dietrich

Dietrich (full name - Dietrich Anders) is a 28 year old man living in the middle ages, specifically the Germanic kingdoms. He has short blonde hair that he parts in the front to frame his face. He has grey eyes, pale skin, and stands at 6'3" in height. He wears a simple high-collar white robe with a tattered purple cloak that has a silver skull clasp. His skin is pale from all the time he's spent inside or underground in crypts. Dietrich's upbringing was a rough one, born to a prostitute mother (Aldessa Anders) and having grown up never knowing his father. He was frequently mocked and mistreated for being both a bastard and a whoreson, all the while he had to watch his mother struggle just to make ends meet. Illness eventually claimed his mother, leading him to begin studying necromancy and the dark arts. He harbors a resentment towards the people of his village for not bothering to help his mother when she needed it. Dietrich's mind began to change when he gained a taste of magic, believing he could change the world to be a better place if he were in a seat of power. He intends to do this by raising an army of undead and taking the nearest castle for himself, using his power to grow his army and conquer the nearby lands until all of Europe and more is under his rule. Dietrich is smug and analytical in personality, his face is almost never seen without a knowing smile. He believes himself to be the ideal ruler for a land that has, in his eyes, grown so corrupt and heartless. He speaks with an air of authority and confidence, as if people following his orders is the most obvious thing to do. He has a soft spot for the outcasts of society and those down on their luck, seeing himself in them and giving them what aid he can. He's ruthless and amoral towards those he believes to be part of the problem or those who have personally wronged him. Dietrich's magical abilities mostly consist of reviving the dead as various types of undead, as well as controlling them and making them stronger. But if push comes to shove he does have access to a few basic dark magics that he can use in self-defense. He also always carries a dagger on his person, just in case. Once he completes the first part of his plan and captures a nearby castle, he intends to branch out in his studies (magical and otherwise) to obtain even more power and cement his title as a philospher king fit to change Europe for the better.
