Dreg was born in the north, in a small cabin in the wilderness a few days journey away from the Kingdom of Norland. His father was a hunter who would go and hunt during the week, take pelts to the town of Lunsbeck over the weekend and return with vegetables and other supplies. His mother would stay home and look after Dreg and his infant sister while their father was out. Whenever his father was home, life was miserable. He'd be beaten, as would his mother. When Dreg was nine he ended up nearly drowning in the frozen lake near their home, his father did nothing, while his mother dived in to save him. Around the time Dreg was twelve his mother began going out into the forest more and more, and she'd always return smiling.

    One day a few months after, Dreg's mother woke him early and had him pack his things. She bundled him and his little sister in warm clothes and took them outside. She had Dreg hold his sister while she went back in. The house began burning moments before she exited and whisked her children away into the forest. In the woods they met with a group of bandits, their mother addressed the leader by name as Holden. This Holden led them to a camp, it became apparent to Dreg that this Holden was the reason his mother would disappear. By the time Dreg was fifteen he had learned to use an axe, swing a sword and shoot a bow, all thanks to Holden and the other bandits. Around this time was when some of Holden's men returned with news they had found Dreg's father in the woods, dead in the snow. He had been seen wandering the woods by the scouts before, searching for Dreg and his family, angry and holding an axe, it seemed that he was too stubborn this time, and froze. 

     For the next few years Dreg simply remained with his mother and the bandits, however he grew tired of the cold and he decided to travel. He packed some supplies and armor, and at the age of twenty-five, Dreg set out into the snow to find new sights, and a new line of work.
