## Biography

### Background

Born as the son of a servant in a House Donaville, he was raised to be the valet of the noble Lord's only son, a young boy some years younger than Baker. While the two got along well, Dimitri made it no secret that he aspired to be more: he wished to see places outside Valenthia and meet new people. Encouraged by his young master, Baker gave his resignation and joined the Valenthian military.

He quickly found his place in the military, making fast friends and enjoying the physical challenges. Having grown up a servant, he had no trouble following orders and was held in high esteem among his peers.

After several years of service, he received a letter that would change his life forever. His mother had passed from illness, but before doing so, revealed that Baker's father was actually the noble Lord of the House and his young master had, in fact, been his younger half-brother. Irrefutable evidence was provided. As the Lord was now on his death bed, the letter requested that Grail return home as he was to inherit everything, including the title of Lord.

Reluctant but duty-bound, he retired from the military and returned home. His welcome was a warm one from all but his younger brother who was now filled with jealousy and resentment. His inheritance was stolen from him by a valet, soldier and servant-child.

Running a noble House of Ser Vahn Don was not in his blood. He empathized too much with the servants, had grown too used to working with his hands, had no head for numbers or letters, and felt deep regret that his relationship with his brother was forever tainted. One night, he summoned a notary and made some changes in secret.

Taking a small sum of money, he vanished from the House and made his way into Valenthia where he bought and operated a small bakery, refusing to let anyone know his true occupation. In his absence, the House and all its holdings went into the care of his younger brother with Ser Vahn Donaville while his own whereabouts were never made known.

When the Demon War broke out, he dusted off his old sword and shield to take arms against the demons, abandoning the name Dimitri, content to simply be known as Ser Baker; The legend among Knights.

## Personality

A veteran knight with years of experience, Dimitri Baker showed a deep passion for combat. When asked why he would not accept a promotion, he answered that he was a knight and wanted to be one for as long as possible. Being aware that he was getting slow with age, Baker showed an intense desire to return to his glory days, as he commented that if he put his current level of experience in his body from ten years ago, that would be an opponent he would not want to fight.

In addition, Baker always put the life of others over the missions, doing what was right rather than focus on the mission. This is noticeable in the Demon Wars when trying to save innocent civilians, and in *New Wonders, New Dangers* when learning that many were killed on Malcor's watch. Baker was heroic and sacrificing, as he believed in the right thing no matter.
