Diego is one of the key characters from Gothic series and a friend of a Nameless Hero. He appears in every Gothic game.
Background
Before ending up in a Colony, Diego was a helper of Gerbrandt. He assisted him with some shady deals and helped him to amass a fortune. But later Gerbrandt turned Diego in, worrying that he knew too much.[1]
Personality
Diego is a good-hearted person, as he came to the aid of the Nameless Hero when he was thrown into the Colony and introduced him to the situation, and later was always ready to help him with advice or training. Diego's work in the Old Camp – assisting newcomers – proves his sense of justice. He is also intelligent and resourceful, which sometimes helps him find a way out of difficult situations.[2] Enterprising and flexible in decision-making, Diego is always looking for a way to get rich, so his actions may sometimes show selfish motives.[3] However, this does not diminish his sincere loyalty to his friends.
Gothic
Player meets Diego in the beginning of the game at the exchange place. He offers some help and advices you to join the Old Camp, which he himself belongs to as a shadow. After that initial encounter he can be found in the Old Camp behind the north gate. He can help you increase your strength and dexterity, and also help you join the Old Camp if you choose so.
After the collapse of the Old Mine in chapter IV, Diego can be found near the south gate of the Old Camp. He will warn you about the Gomez' plan to capture the Free Mine.
Gothic II
Diego survived the fall of The Barrier, during which he witnessed Dragons appearing in the valley. He fled to Khorinis to warn the Paladins about the impending threat, but the paladin he spoke to - Lothar refused to believe him and for spreading panic he was sent back into the valley as a convict in Garond's expedition, where he would be assigned into Silvestro's group. Eventually, he was tasked with securing the mined ore away from the mine, which would eventually fall victim to Minecrawlers. The two paladins sent to escort him died while fighting Snappers, while Diego is resting near a cave south of the castle, at the beggining of the orcish lands. Nameless Hero has to find him in order to get information about the amount of ore Silvestro's group managed to extract. In Night of the Raven, The Hero can take him to the pass leading out of the valley. Later, he can be found in Khorinis at the steps of the Upper Quarter.
