Paul Dirac

Paul Dirac was a wealthy grain merchant of Dementlieuse origin and the father of Marcos Vedarrak. Although largely an undisciplined fop himself, Dirac nonetheless truly admired Falkovnian military discipline and organization. Unfortunately, Dirac was too loud a sympathizer, and he had to flee Dementlieu altogether. Pual brought his family to Falkovnia in 717 BC (Marcos was only two). The wealthy merchant changed his name to Paul Vedarrak and was able to insinuate himself into Falkovnian society, showing usefulness but not truly earning respect. Paul's sycophantic fawning over the Talons inculcated a sense of loathing for the Talons but also a begruding respect. Paul's squabbles and power games with his wife caught Marcos in the middle, leaving him a humorless perfectionist with an overwhelming need to achieve success at all costs.

At some point, like Marcos, Paul must have enlisted with the Fraternity of Shadows. In the Nocturnal Sea Gazetteer, he assisted Professor Viktor Hazan in scouring the Nocturnal Sea for the traitor Erik Van Rijn. However, while in the search, Dirac met with a gruesome fate. Somewhere between August and September of 760 BC Viktor Hazan discovered Dirac stranded on a rock near the harbor of Graben-town. Delirious, cold, and almost unconscious, Dirac was fished out by Viktor and the sailors under his employ. They delivered him to Dr. Gunnar Illhousen for treatment, but Dirac made little progress for days. Eventually, Dirac escaped from his cell and walks into the sea. However, Dirac leaves behind some notes on the Drowning Deep he wrote while under the mental influence by Virundus. He had apparently became one of the Sea-Claimed.
