The son of a miller near Providence, Dean grew up with no worries about his next meal. However, since the mill was quite remote from the village, he only ever did anything with his 6 siblings. As a young adult, his father sent him away because there was no more room for him as the second youngest in the mill and Dean should earn his own money. In the nearby town of Providence he got work with a merchant as a guard for his warehouse. In the further course of his life, his work drove him more and more into mercenary work, which is why he never settled down anywhere and his acquaintances and friends therefore never lasted long. Now he is looking for new activity.
