Personal History

Early Life

He grew up in Sage's Home for All. Sage Burbop saw a quick wit within Dreg's mind and sent him to Relles'thiir to be educated in politics, economics, and foreign relations. Here, he met the love of his life, Kiera. Once he finished his education he was able to get a job in the Vaults of Relles'thiir as an Accountant. It was then that they married.

Career in the Vaults

Dreg eventually worked his way up in the Vaults. He became the Master Cofferer of Labors External to the Realm. His jurisdiction was all trade happening between the crown and other lands. He began noticing some of the numbers weren't adding up. Every time he began a new trail of following money, he was stonewalled by his superiors. Eventually, he discovered the Minister of Coin of Relles'thiir, Baron Dezmir of the Lakeside, had passed word down to demote Dreg. Dreg became the Counter of Coppers of the slums of Relles'thiir. It was during this time that he and Keira had a daughter, Shevarra Anderling. When Shevarra was young, Kiera became ill and suffered through a disease which left her bedridden for years. Eventually she passed, and Dreg wanted to have Shevarra grow up in the city he knew, but with a better life into which he was born.

Moving back home.

He first took a job as Master Dispatch Scribe with the The Quarry of Miraforge, the local branch of the postal service of the kingdom. As he began running their books, he noticed discrepencies. Eventually he found out that they were a information brokerage organization, not wanting a repeat of the past, he did not confront his superiors, rather, he left on good terms without stirring trouble. He used his alliances he had made to make his way into the Griffon's Court, and serve Lady Aida Griffswill. It is rumored he has more feelings for her than just loyalty and fealty, however he denies these rumors.
