Diedrich von Hochstatt is a member of Lamordian nobility born in Leidenheim, a Bard and a member of the Sevenstrings.
Appearance
Diedrich was once a handsome young man, a skilled harpist and a fine dancer. Currently, he is paralyzed from the neck down due to spinal injuries and his fine features have been mutilated, following his fall from the battlements of Schloss von Brandthofen. His body has been hooked up to a complex life-support system, located in the secret base of the Sevenstrings underneath an abandoned Lamordian temple.
Background
Diedrich always yearned for adventure and excitement in his life, only for his demanding father (a member of the Schultebott of Leidenheim as well as the Syndicate of Enlightened Citizens) to demand that he fulfill the role of his perfect and rational heir. Whenever Diedrich stepped out of line, he would be harshly punished.
Diedrich found little ways to rebel. His training as a Bard allowed him to learn the use of arcane magic. A chance encounter with Colmarr Greatorm led to him secretly joining the Sevenstrings, which allowed him to learn about other worlds. When his father decided Diedrich needed a wife to keep him grounded, Diedrich's reluctant tour of the Lamordian social circuit brought him face to face with the scholar Mu.
Diedrich fell in love with Mu's intelligence as well as her beauty, but did not know how best to express his affection and win the young woman's heart in turn. When he discovered Mu was trying to find sponsors to fund research into ways of travelling beyond the Demiplane of Dread that could bring her back to Gothic Earth, Diedrich made the mistake of trying to entice the Schultebott of Leidenheim to invest in the project. He told his father a great deal about Mu and arranged for a private meeting.
Be it because Diedrich's father misinterpreted what his son's intentions and Mu's nature were or out of malice towards someone who sought to use science for such an outré subject as planar travel, but the meeting did not go as Diedrich had intended. The members of the Schultebott met Mu behind closed doors, casually burned her notes and brutally beat and raped her before handing her over to some thugs who worked for a local brothel.
