Dima was born to two working-class humans in a small hut on the outskirts of Presa de Madera. The family, being fairly poor, was incapable of sending any of their children to school and so Dima and his older brother worked in his father's butcher shop until his passing. Dima harboured great animosity toward the rich after watching his father work the same job his entire life and not be able to afford the bare necessities. Unlike his brother, he decided he wouldn't follow the path set for him and he left the city under cover of darkness and, determined to take what he deemed rightfully his, he set out to claw, cheat, lie, and steal until he was on top.
