He was found by a pack of of Hybsils while roaming the borders of the Misty Forest, who left him in the care of a pack of timber wolves, checking on him periodically. Üngar grew up learning the ways of the pack, attuned to the beasts, befriended by the kinder animals and peoples of the hills and forest. His only memento of the Foehammer clan, a cloth shirt with the family insignia on it which was his swaddling cloth. </p><p>A clan of wood elves soon became aware of his trespassing and watched him for some time, eventually making contact with him. It had been many years among the animals for the dwarf, to many, the wood elves, bewildered by his plight, took pity on him; they not only taught him their language, but also his dwarven tongue, they even taught him the ways of the land, the ways of Nature. He was a fast learner, having been raised among the creatures of the land. They gifted him with items of his ilk from their treasury, dwarven chain, and a warhammer, informing him of his family insignia and his clan name. He came to be a great friend and defender of the Misty Woods, and for his deeds they bestowed him with a scrimshawed acorn necklace to use as a divine focus.</p><p>Days passed, and his den mother came to the end of her days, a frail old wolf and an easy target for predators. Üngar, having been out hunting on his own, heard her desperate baying and returned to the den as fast as he could, to find her near death in the jaws of a starving brown bear. Without caution, Üngar attacked the beast, a fight he barely won which left his face scarred by a claw across his eye. Crawling with what strength he had left he pulled himself to his den mother, and, unable to save her life, was able to share her last moments as the rest of the pack arrived; many howls were bayed that night. He carved up the bear and shared the kill with his suckle-mates, later fashioning a head dress from the fur and skull .</p><p>The terrifying memories from his infancy haunted him always, in his dreams he relived the things he did not comprehend, only dark waves bringing darker tidings. Visions he has not been able to decipher. Having reached adulthood, the only mother he'd ever known now dead, and no idea of where or what had became of his people, the dwarf set out to make his own way in the world and left the den behind, to search for answers to questions he had yet to begin to understand.</p><p></p><p>Though he's learned the nuances and subtleties of interacting with civilization, he is far from one of them. He makes his way adventuring, in hopes of learning the fate of the Foehammers, lending his skills to those who will put up with his eccentricities.</p><p></p><p><strong>Feature: Survivor </strong></p><p>You have an extraordinary knowledge of beasts. you can determine a beasts temperament and intentions.

On one occasion, he was ambushed by brigands, captured, chained, bound for slavery; this fate spared by a member of the Bronze Lions, <em>[insert name, character hook here]</em>, who intercepted the brigands, and set to free their captive in the late hours of a stormy night. The rescuer crept like a cat into camp, unfettering the dwarf and removing his gag. As the storm raged around the camp, lightning granting brief moments of lucidity; Ungar, waking, delirious with fatigue, seeing a shadowy figure with blade drawn looming over him, and finding himself unbound, invoked the primal savagery within him, lunging at whom he mistook for a brigand. His instinct to survive overwhelming, like a cornered wolf he ripped at the jugular. As lightning lit his adversaries face, he saw it were an elf, and no brigand. The elf, shocked, unable to talk, fell next to the dwarf, the light in his eyes fading. To drained to attempt to heal the elf, Ungar shouldered the fallen, and made away. He was able to keep the Elf alive for a few hours with his minor magicks, mending the torn esophagus, but unable to stave off the fast approaching death. In the few hours the elf lived, it forgave the Dwarf, removing a brooch from his vest and placing it in Ungars hand, pointing to the dwarf to pin the brooch to his vestments. Able to utter a few words, the elf, pointed to himself and spoke his name then to the brooch 'seek out, become a Bronze Lion'.</p><p>His elf savior passed.</p><p>His guilt never faded.</p><p>He searches for solace by helping others.</p><p></p><p>His adventurers have brought him to Kendall Keep, rumors of the Company of Bronze Lions preceding.</p><p>[/sblock]</p><p>[/sblock]</p></blockquote><p></p>
