Brief Description or Biography: A man of small beginnings, Siegfried's father and mother never truly amounted to much. His father was an ex-soldier, who had retired to the country when his service had ended. There, he and his wife ran a small, but somewhat profitable farm - enough to keep them fed and warm, which was all Siegfried could ever have asked for. As soon as he was able, Siegfried spent his days doing household chores, work out in the fields, and evening sparring with his father.
By the Age of Seven, his parents had managed to save the coin needed to send him to train under a practicing physician in one of the more prominent towns. There he was treated sternly, but fairly, doing chores for most of his daily life, but learning slowly the specialty of medicine. As time went on, his teacher would even allow him to treat some of his patients, though of course Siegfried received no coin for his work, and he didn't mind that one bit.
In his later years as a Teenager, Siegfried would be granted the privilege of accompanying his master to the houses and manors of minor nobility in order to treat those more fortunate. It was during these times that he managed to befriend a Lesser Lord, and - with the permission of his master - spent weeks at a time at there at court, representing his master as the lord's Physician (Though the position was not so much one of necessity as personal friendship). There he would learn some of the finer points of living, something that he enjoyed but never became accustomed to, but more importantly it was during this time he picked up on the skill of diplomacy and tact.
While medicine was something that he had worked hard at, he never was particularly exceptional at it, having little to no knack for the workings of the human body. Amongst the lords and ladies of the land, however, he excelled at conversation whether it was at the dinner table, or a philosophical debate with his betters. In time, Siegfried was removed from his apprenticeship altogether, and made a permanent member of Court. While he now uses his tongue more than anything, he does not forget his training as a healer, his military roots via his father, and most importantly his humble beginnings
