Background

Dietrich Dracht is the second son by the third wife of the Apothecary Dietrich Dracht Senior, the head of an Ul'dah trading family that focusses on the export of potions and medicines. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, growing up in relative luxury and assimilating Ul'dahns cut-throat values. Like most of his family, he is a moderate monetarist, considering the Sultanate to be an ineffectual institution.

He was interned at the Ossuary from age eleven onwards, on account of significant bribes by his father, who desired to expand the families' influence. To the old man's dismay, Dietrich was given an entire impractical education that focussed on rote remembrance of books dealing with highly theoretical issues of magic. The boy took to books with great zeal, becoming something of a dreamer and even thinking these intellectual pursuits to be above the money-making ways of his own blood.

The Calamity did much to improve the families' wealth, owing to the increase in demand for the products they purveyed, even if contact with some of the more far-flung trading posts was lost. Young Dietrich accompanied the family traders on several trips to outposts in Thanalan, but didn't take a liking to life outside the gates, preferring his books to the dust and grime of the desert. Upon returning from their latest trip, he loudly complained at the family dinner, hoping that he wouldn't be made to go on such trips again.

Considering the youth to have been utterly spoilt, Dracht senior instead exploded in anger and cut off Dietrich's generous stipend, forcing him to earn his own keep for a change. Though Dietrich begged not to be in this position he was finally dragged, kicking and screaming, into the real world. Now he seeks to make his own way, hoping to prove that a man can earn coin while armed only with book knowledge and an eager mind.
