Background
Dorn was born to a well-off barrister of Overlook. Never wanting for much, he grew up in a house full of ideals and debate. This instilled within him the beliefs and patriotism he holds to today. But he also saw the darker side of Overlook, especially the lower classes and how non-dwarves (including his father) could not reach the true echelons of power. After many unsuccessful attempts to work within the system (including a stint with the Watch after university), he started his own one man crusade. He printed leaflets, held rallies, and made a general nuisance of himself. While he never did anything really illegal, he was enough of a problem for Overlook that when the orc problem reeled its head, they had the perfect solution for how to deal with Dorn.

Personality and Appearance
Dorn is quite full of himself and very confident in his mission. He never says three words where six will do, and he often makes lofty appeals to justice and liberation and other such concepts. Dorn is tenacious is a fight, and even when things are going wrong, he refuses to see defeat.

Dorn has a proud bearing, lean build, and swarthy skin accented by his shaved head. He dresses in comoner's clothes with a fine cut and little dirt, a sure sign of a custom job. Women tend to swoon when he is speaking.
