Family History and Early Life
Born Diederich Gerhard Brandt in Beaverwick, Kings, Dirk Brandt was of an established German family which had left Pomerania, Prussia in 1868 and had immigrated to Lovia in 1882. Being one of the first groups of German immigrants to relocate to the New World, the Brandts were quick to establish one of the largest fishing companies on Kings Island in 1885.

Dirk's grandfather, Ernst Brandt was expected to give the company to his eldest son, Thomas. As such, Dirk's father, Russell, was expected to go to a university. Russell went to Nobel University, and, after earning a degree in Business, managed to go on to lead a number of large corporations, notably Honecker Holdings, Ltd. (1985-1997) and Veprom (1997-2002).

Dirk was Russell's second son, after his elder brother Frederick Konstantin Brandt was born in 1985. Dirk was raised in and around Beaverwick, spending a lot of his time in the inland regions of Kings, including the Grandforest Hills, Northern Basin, and Windthorn Shores.
