Dieter Bauerson is the second son of a grain farmer in south-western Ostermark. Dieter's father has done well for himself, selling grain to local prize wining horse breeders. Dieter is tall and lanky, sharp of mind and quick of foot, but weak and sickly. His left eye is lazy and his red hair makes him stand out in a crowd. He has a talent for realizing situations may be dangerous and gets along with most people.
He learned to use a bow to supplement the family food supply and to stay out of the front ranks of the militia if called upon. But the local militia hasn't been called out for active service since he was a boy, only having to deal with the occasional bandit and small beastman raid in the last few years.
Dieter left the farm a little over 2 years ago to go to university. He has been studying heraldry and genealogy at the Imperial College of Title and Lineage in Middenheim and hopes to return to the mark in a year or two when his studies are completed.
