Reinhardt (2470-2485)
Dietrich was born on an UNSC commanded Germanic planet called New Prussia, and lived in the capital of the planet which was named Reinhardt after the famous General Günter Reinhardt during the Jovian Moons Campaign. His parents were known for creating toxic chemicals (such as the VX7 Nerve Agent) and adapting others for use by the UNSC, and so were quite important for the community to have as the UNSC would protect the colony along with the Bauer’s. His eldest brother, Jonathon, became a police officer and his “middle” sibling, a sister named Justine, was an engineer. Dietrich was described as having a calm yet cheerful personality was also noted to be quite outgoing and had a different attitude towards combat, instead of liking or despising it he just thought it was necessary and would pick up arms and fight if needed without hesitation. Dietrich wasn’t used to making relationships because of how early his siblings had left the household so he basked in the opportunity to make friends. At school his fellow classmates admired his selflessness and ability to keep his cool and in return he had gained many friends and acquaintances. He enjoyed school because his friends would never go behind his back and he always had friends by his side.

Schöpfers Stadt (2485-2488)
However, he had to move with his family to another city, Schöpfer Stadt (roughly translated to “Creator’s City”), which had just finished building a highly advanced laboratory facility. Dietrich was a little angry at his parents for moving but in the least he understood why they did. He tried to make some more friends and succeeded for the most part. He mostly worked on becoming the star runner in his school and was quite quick and strong. During a presentation by an UNSC Marine in 2487 at his school, Dietrich easily became fascinated with the military lifestyle. Dietrich bought a civilian version of the MA2 Assault Rifle and familiarized himself with it, and later on also bought a Civilian M6A and also familiarized himself with it. In 2488 on his 18th birthday Dietrich enlisted in the Marines.

Marine Years (2488-2491)
Dietrich operated in the UNSCDF Marine Corps for a year and had graduated from a flight school, a marksman academy and an explosive ordinance disposal school. He and his fire team, and helped take down multiple rebels throughout Human colonized space, after two years however, he and his fire team all enlisted into Naval Special Warfare and were put into a team together after research into their history together. After another year and a half they had built up an impressive record for a year old team and volunteered for the newly reinstated ORION Project, later known as the SPARTAN-I or 1.0s.

Insurrection (2491-2525)
Dietrich and his former marine fire team compatriots, then-Corporal Neil Walker, then-Lance Corporal Roland Clarke and then-Lance Corporal Seth Anderson were again put into a team, however this time it was a SPARTAN-I Black Operations team. They were often tasked with gathering intelligence and covert operations, such as sabotaging a group of Insurrectionist tanks on New Aspen in 2496.

Operation: CHARLEMAGNE
Dietrich was put on his first mission as a SPARTAN-I operator in Operation: CHARLEMAGNE. In it Dietrich and his team were to covertly recover a sub-orbit transit system from Insurrectionists. Dietrich’s team had breached the starboard side and silently took out a concentration of Insurgents and moved on to cut communications. His team then began spotting targets for the other Spartans through the transits cameras. The mission was quite swift and resulted only in one Spartan casualty.

Operation: TANGLEWOOD
Dietrich and his team were deployed in Operation: TANGLEWOOD along with then-Private Avery Junior Johnson and his spotter. The Innies had seized a Misriah building and factory on Troy. Dietrich and Neil rappelled down to the fourteenth level of the building ad were to work up from there, Roland and Seth were to secure the factory that had been seized by Innies, while Johnson and his spotter provided covering fire. Dietrich and Neil had to take out the rebel captain who had taken hostages and was at the top level. While this was going on Roland and Seth were taking out Innies in the factory level and had to secure the product data and make sure that the Rebels couldn’t get any of it. In the process they also prevented any of the rebels from taking so much as a grain of dust from the factory with them. Johnson was basically only there to kill targets at range, give support and spot targets that he couldn’t take out. However, Johnson would also be deployed on a second part of Operation: TANGLEWOOD which was not enclosed to Dietrich and his team for “security reasons”. At the end of the mission there were no Spartan casualties and all hostages had been secured. Neither did any rebels escape but, to the benefit of the UNSC, two had been captured.

Personality
Dietrich was usually known to be quite forgiving and understanding. He would only be aggressive towards people who had intentionally done something negative towards him or a close one. His friends talked of him as having a good sense of humour but not one to crack a joke. He liked to befriend the new recruits so that he could help them become a proficient soldier. In return he had gained many friends and was never challenged in a bar fight for obvious reasons. He tended to enjoy having the element of surprise and surprisingly, would rather defend than attack. Later on in his life he grew to be quite firm but was He thought of the SPARTAN-IIs as younger brothers and sisters, something he never had. He met Anton Krauss-044 in a mission and they’ve worked together on multiple occasions. However, after Anton was flash vaporized Dietrich felt less and less motivated and was about to retire just before his death in 2552 by the Flood.
