Didrik is his harshest critic, and has trouble accepting compliments or taking credit for things he succeeds at.  While he shrugs it off as Nordic modesty, he secretly is driven by a desire to fit in and be liked.  An average tactician, Didrik has embraced his natural aptitude for Ops and Helm, and is looking for opportunities to grow in that area, rather than sit by and wait for a tactical post to open.  When on duty, he prefers to operate the helm manually rather than allow the NavComp to fly the ship.  To that end, he has devised a number of unique console layouts that allow him to pilot the ship while monitoring other departments in the absence of an Ops officer on duty.

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.

===Ambitions===
Didrik initially resented his posting to the ''Drake'', as being a helm officer conflicted with his long-held dreams of working in tactical.  He disliked his position at first, largely because he held a stereotypically negative view of Starfleet pilots and hated the thought of himself being a member of their tribe.  As time passed, however, as he proved an able pilot, he grew into his job, and has now been exposed to the infinite career opportunities for a Starfleet officer.  Didrik quickly tired of being the lowest-ranking bridge officer aboard the ''Drake''.  He admires those of his colleagues who've moved up the ladder from their respective departments and into command, and has thought of doing the same at some point in the future.  A more realistic goal would be to re-enroll in the Academy's continuing education program, and test for certification in another discipline.
