Korbryn Rivenshield, of the Dwurfolk of the Lortmils
Lawful Neutral Dwarf Male Fighter 4
[sblock]
Background
Although still a young dwarf, Korbryn has seen his fare share of battles. Hailing from the southernmost portion of the Lortmils, Korbryn and his clan have had ample opportunity to prove their valor against humanoids and giants from the nearby Pomarj.
When the stories of Korbyrn’s battle prowess reached the ears of the dwarven kings, they summoned him to their halls to test for the honor of joining their personal guard. The tests consisted of a series of combat against other worthies, and a series of endurance tests as well. When the testing was completed, Korbryn found was offered the honor of serving, and dutifully took his place among the elite defenders of the dwarven kings.
When the call came for the dwarf lords to send a representative to Verbobonc, Korbyrn was quickly chosen from amongst the guard. While not a diplomat, Korbryn is a loyal, courageous dwarf who will speak plainly, and put the needs of the dwarves before his own personal concerns.
Appearance
Korbryn is tall for a dwarf, at 4’ 5” in height. He is powerful of build, with a weight of about 190 pounds, most of it solid muscle. He has long blonde hair and a long blonde beard, both of which he wears braided with fine silver chain. His face is badly scarred down the left side, where an ogre’s club has mangled his visage. His voice is grating and always sounds hoarse.
The fighter is almost always found in his well-polished plate armor, and dresses in the leathers and wools favored by his people, in shades of reds and grays. While most dwarves are fond of wearing jewelry and precious metals, Korbryn disdains this practice. His clothes are generally worn and travel stained, but his armor and weapons are always clean and freshly oiled. He wears a collection of goblin and orc ears around his neck. In full battle gear, Korbryn is quite the sight to behold…wielding a sword that is larger than himself, and with enough weapons strapped to himself to outfit a troop of dwarves.
Personality
Quiet and taciturn, Korbryn rarely speaks. He prefers to let his actions speak for themselves. He is gruff and ill tempered, and is brutally honest, whether those listening to his words will like them or not.
Korbryn is not a smith or a miner, as are most of his kin. He is a warrior, first and foremost. He was trained to fight and defend his people, and he sees that as his only duty. Anyone that he deems a threat to the dwarves of the Lortmils will find Korbryn to be a most implacable foe. He is practical and methodical, and fully confident in his fighting prowess. Although a disciplined and honorable warrior, he is not above using dirty tricks to carry the day…
