Growing up on a remote farm on the outskirts of Bogenhafen, Jan-Dirk always dreamed of leaving the responsibilities of his laborious life behind him to pursue a career as a professional footbowler. His foster parents would always find reason to deny his dreams however, saying "harvest is when we need you the most" and promising "next season, things will be different". Things became different in Skyrunner's 17th year, a year that saw his adopted family brutally slain by marauding Ogres.
