Dreicho was born in the filthy slums of a large city in southern Talingarde to two thieves. The unwanted child in a family of nine, he was mistreated horribly both by his parents and the humans of the area. Dreicho learned early in life that the only way to get ahead is to fool those less clever than yourself, and he was particularly skilled at the art of trickery. Shunned by his family, he made a living tricking people into giving him their money and food until the age of 19, when he attempted to deceive a man cloaked in red into giving up his pendant. The man was impressed by the brazen attempted theft, and offered to give Dreicho his heart's desire if he converted to Diabolism and joined his hidden congregation. Dreicho didn't need the extra incentive; he had been interested in the Dark Prince ever since he pickpocketed an unholy symbol in his youth. Dreicho spent the next nine years of his life a faithful student in the ways of the Asmodeans, eventually working his way up into the preisthood through guile and subterfuge. He finally felt at home, in his hidden den of liars and devil-worshipers.
Of course, all good things must come to an end. Through the efforts of a double agent, his peers and blood brothers were systematically arrested. Dreicho was one of the last to be hauled off, silent in his hatred and already trying to come up with an escape plan.
