Hermann was born in Reinmar to servant parents and was the middle of three brothers. He grew up with the dream to join the Brotherhood of St. Karl. By the time he grew up the Brotherhood disbanded and he got to serve as a private bodyguard for Reinmarian nobles. There he learned how to fight and traveled throughout the land. His life was uneventful until one day he left Helena with a friend and was ambushed. His friend lost his arm and he almost wasn't able to fight them off. After he did he was traumatized and disliked violence despite his job relying on it. It makes his life difficult but he persists and he gets to travel to a lot of places like Providence and Sutica now which he likes.

Being known for serving loyally he is trusted by a lot of Reinmarian lords and joins them on travel. It is his hard work that makes sure that his parents are being taken care off by the nobles. He hopes to be a noble one day himself as he thinks they are good people.
