Haldor
Haldor remembers the beginning of the reign of Arideen III, 400 years ago. Yet, he is only 72 years old, a young adult in dwarf years. He had been a noble among the dwarves, one of the younges in his family, and destined for a small lot in life. He ended up working the caves that mined the metal the Explorer used to equip and settle new lands. Haldor does not like to speak about why a noble such as he would do such dirty work, however. What he does have great interest in telling is how one day, when he dug a bit too deep, he stumbled across a glowing red ruby the size of his fist. Suddenly, a cave-in trapped him and almost crushed him. He grabbed the ruby, and that was the last thing he remembers from 400 years ago.
Next thing Haldor knew, he was being woken up by an unfamiliar miner. The ruby was gone, but he could tell it had somehow absorbed into his skin and protected him from the cave-in by placing him in a magical hibernation. In addition, he found that he could now control and manipulate fire. Now with no ties to the world, he has set out to find an explanation for what the ruby is, and to experience a world he would have never been able to see as a dwarf noble.
Haldor became good friends with Andric, the human miner who found him, in the fortnight while Haldor stayed with him after being unearthed. Andric taught him as much as he could about current affairs, but Haldor wanted to see it for himself. Andric had to stay with his wife, children, and job. He also became acquainted with the overseer for the mine, a gruff dwarf named Dagnal. She didn't take kindly to her workers finding people instead of gold, but she offered Haldor a job if he needed one. In his first week of traveling alone, Haldor made an enemy of a noble he crossed paths with. Haldor, not knowing that he was dealing with a noble and not being used to holding his tongue because of his own noble heritage, responded to the noble's command to get out of his way with a sharp retort, earning a kick from the guards and a grudge from a wealthy man. He didn't get the noble's name, but he would recognize his insignia: a silver skull. He carries a trinket he grabbed from the guard in their tussle as a reminder to stay clear of that house.
[sblock=Character Sheet]I chose the draconic bloodline to get abilities relating to fire, but the actual source of the ruby's magic is up to the DM.

Spell Attack Modifier +4
(Cantrip)[sblock=Control Flames]1 action, 60 feet, S components, instantaneous or 1 hour (see below); You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways: - You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location; - You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube; - You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour; - You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.[/sblock](Cantrip)[sblock=Create Bonfire]1 action, 60 feet, V+S components, concentration up to 1 minute; You create a bonfire on ground you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the bonfire fills a 5-foot cube. Any creature in the bonfire’s space when you cast the spell must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 fire damage. A creature must also make the saving throw when it enters the bonfire’s space for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. The spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).[/sblock](Cantrip)[sblock=Fire Bolt]1 action, 120 feet, V+S components, instantaneous; You hurl a mote of fire at a creature or object within range.

Until the spell ends, the object sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as you like. Completely covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as an action.

Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.[/sblock](1st-level)[sblock=Fog Cloud]1 action, 120 feet, V+S components, concentration up to 1 hour; You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of fog centered on a point within range.
