Growing up, Dregaul, along with his three siblings Hesta, Obril, and Xaphira Matrell were ostracized by nobles of Arrabar for being a young merchant house with no social weight behind their name. In his lifetime, however, House Matrell gained prominence and success due to the leadership of Dregaul's parents, Hetta Debrinne, and Obiron Matrell I.

In the, Dregaul, along with members of his family, attended the Night of Ghosts festival hosted by Eles Wianar, the Lord of Arrabar. Dregaul's young nephew, Vambran Matrell, was playing around with a bejeweled crossbow, a gift from his uncle Kovrim Matrell. Shooting plantains off a tree, Vambran unleashed a stray bolt that lodged itself in a stranger's chest, killing him. The victim was Rodolpho, a cousin of the Lord of Arrabar. Dregaul and his younger sister Xaphira knew that this accidental murder meant ruin for House Matrell. Desperate to see her nephew unharmed, Xaphira took the blame. She masqueraded as an assassin and fled Arrabar, likely to never be able to return again.

In the years that followed, Dregaul never forgave Vambran for his foolish crime, bringing the family so close to destruction and being the cause of his sister's disappearance from Arrabar. By the Dregaul was fully in control of House Matrell mercantile dealings and spent most of his time working through bills of lading, receipts, and ledgers, helped by the oldest of Obril's children - Evester Matrell, who shared his business-inclined mind.
