It is not known where Ulrich was born. He was found, like so many other gifted children, abandoned in the wilds. The one who found him, sensed the special nature of the boy and brought him to the well-known and well-liked Wizard, Christophus. Christophus was a magus and follower of Bonisagus. He adopted the boy and started to raise him as a son. So great was his delight in watching the boy's growth, that he decided to make children of his own. This he did with a lovely handmaiden, Adelheid, whom he later married.
Ulrich grew to be a really big boy, with strength so great that at the age of twelve, he could beat most of adult men in arm wrestling. Indeed, he was keen on contests of strength in general, including fighting. He spent his childhood with the five sons of Christophus, and even though much bigger and stronger than the five brothers, he never abused his physical superiority. Rather, in the rare occasions where the brothers met other children and were pushed around by them because of their gifts, he would stand up for them and tell the bullies to "go and pick on someone of their own size", after he would beat the bullies halfway to hell. Ulrich took great interest in craftsmanship, which is why Christophus later sent him to be trained by a follower of verditius.
The apprenticeship with Gudrun Tigurina was all work and no play. Gudrun did not like the boys eagerness to fight, but instead concentrated on the boys knack in crafts and their application in the making of enchanted items. This gave Ulrich a chance to learn the theory of magic very thoroughly. Gudrun also learned about his apprentice's strong bond to mother earth, and emphasized his training on the art of Terram. The earth cracks and shakes when he casts spells. Ulrich was never allowed by his master to practice weapon skills, instead he concentrated on the art of making weapons.
Aeneas is very well aware of his physical superiority, as well as his capabilities as a craftsman and a magus. This makes him very full of himself. He believes that there is nothing that he cannot beat in a fight, some way or another. He smiles a very self-conscious smile, which people often mistakenly take for friendliness. Losing is something he is not used to, and it always makes him utterly bitter. He will use all means possible to avoid having to swallow his pride.
