A new Starfleet officer, Didrik lacks a self-confidence that comes with experience. Despite being nearly 30 years old, he has only just earned his commission, and because of this, he feels he doesn't quite fit in with his cohort of new ensigns, nor would he feel comfortable around officers his own age, many of whom far outrank him. His teenage obsession with the progression of the Dominion War fueled his desire for a life in Starfleet, but he is discovering, at 28 years old, that not every hobby makes a good career. | A new Starfleet officer, Didrik lacks a self-confidence that comes with experience.

Despite his self-doubt and his shortcomings in certain areas (physics and engineering, especially), he proved to be an intelligent tactician at the Academy, but an even better pilot.

He scored in the top 4% in his core piloting class, and was highly encouraged by his professor to change his focus from Tactical to Navigation. Didrik refused, but later relented, slightly, pursuing a Navigation minor. A natural pilot, Didrik's grades were somewhat higher in his navigation minor courses than his tactical major ones. His relative underperformance in his core and major disciplines was one of the factors that motivated him to withdraw from the Academy in his third year. | ||
Physically, Didrik is bulkier than the average human. He is self-conscious about his forehead, which he thinks is too large. Born with a healthy Norwegian appetite, he has never met a food replicator that he didn't like, and he must make himself exercise regularly to avoid putting on too much weight. His stomach doesn't tolerate alcohol or synthale, and even coffee and tea upset his system, so his beverage of choice is almost always water chilled to 0.15˚C. | Physically, Didrik is bulkier than the average human.
