Dieter

Dominating an extensive area to the south of the local area, the town of Mivior was founded decades ago by Lord Estaban Mivior, who fled the Sea Princes for some past crime. Unusually, he held onto his rule for years, surviving despite major hardships, including the arrival of and damages caused by the Necromancer. Regardless of his vigilance in safeguarding his territory, he, like all princes, would be toppled.

Several years ago, Estaban, who was a lascivious despot, hired an adventuring company to snatch attractive women to add to his harem. Among these sell swords was a man named Dieter, who had became an adventurer in the hopes of finding a place in the Border Princes. Dieter had many flaws, and among them was a decadent side, exacerbated by his work kidnapping attractive, young women for the prince. For several years, Dieter watched his master and came to believe he himself was one of Estaban’s illegitimate sons, since he vaguely resembled the older man, and they both shared the same tastes in women. Dieter hoped to reveal this "truth" to the man he believed was his father, but the opportunity never arose. To make matters worse, Estaban’s distractions endangered the principality. While indulging his baser nature, new threats arose, including the Necromancer, who had already sent his shambling hordes to destroy one of Estaban’s villages. Something had to be done.

Dieter's successes earned him a place as marshal of the prince's armies, and so Dieter recommended Estaban accompany his armies in a battle against a Hobgoblin force that had drifted into their territory, claiming his appearance would foster pride and restore the loyalty of the troops. Estaban agreed, and the prince led his armies to confront this new menace. Dieter, however, planned to kill his master and take his place. Dieter murdered the old man and claimed that a group of Sneaky Gits had crept into the prince's tent and slew him while he slept. Though there were (and still are) suspicions, the lieutenants accepted Dieter's story and supported his claim as the new prince.

Since his ascent, Dieter has worked hard to stabilize his territory, removing what he sees as the gravest threat to his rule--monsters. His soldiers have butchered countless Orcs and Goblins, and he even claims to have thwarted the Necromancer. All of this fighting is to achieve one thing; Dieter wants to pass on the principality to his sons, to create a dynasty of princes that will one day grow to dominate all the Border Princes. To this end, Dieter spends a great deal of time fathering sons on his concubines. After his chosen heir was killed by Y’Velle, he's no longer certain, as yet, which son will now gain the crown. So he's watching and waiting, looking to see which one wants it the most.

His recent ambitions, however, have been somewhat hampered by the mysterious appearance of an adventuring company of considerable ability in the area, a band known as the Swords of the Desert Star. This group has raided several treasure troves from local areas that he considered to be “his”, and have so far resisted his “tax” collectors with impunity. Even now, Dieter plots against these upstarts, sending spies to infiltrate their ranks, and hiring all manner of mercenaries and assassins to do them in…

A powerfully built man with sharp, angular features, he towers over his subjects. Few dare stand against him in direct combat for it’s said his shill at arms is without peer. As any careful prince, Dieter is rarely without the protection of his bodyguards, and has a well-fortified manor house within the walls of the town of Mivior, his seat of power. He has matted blonde hair, black, mad eyes, and a mouthful of rotten teeth.
