Appearance:
Uthar is somewhat tall for a dwarf, standing roughly 4 and a half feet tall, burly and tough yet not as stout as many dwarves. His skin has a few small but obvious scars, including a triangular one on his left cheek. He looks to be what dwarves would consider slightly handsome, but this is marred by the almost perpetual scowl he wears. When he isn't scowling, he just looks mildly annoyed or bored.
Uthar's skin is a dark tan in shade, marking him as one of the hill dwarves who spends too much time above ground, from a clan that spends too much time aboveground. His brown hair is kept short and roughly cut, and his beard is also worn unusually short for a dwarf, shorn just a few inches from his chin and jawline. Eyes of flinty gray stare back coldly at anyone who bothers to deal with the dwarf. A broad-rimmed hat usually covers the dwarf's head, and sturdy black leather boots protect his feet.
He wears leather armor with a few small plates of steel bolted on over the shoulders, forearms, forelegs, shoulderblades, and chest. A slender sword is sheathed sidelong at the left side of his belt, while a reinforced and sharpened farmer's sickle hangs from the other side, pouches hanging beside each. A cudgel is loosely strapped to the outer side of his right leg, and a broad-headed axe is strapped to his back, wrapped in leather. A brace of javelins is also slung over his back on a simple bandolier, while a backpack covers the axe and the rest of his back. In bad weather, he pulls a hooded cloak out of his pack and wears it overtop, the hat taking its place in the dwarf's backpack.
Background:
Uthar Gravelsmasher is a very dissatisfied young dwarf trying to find his place in the world. Never showing much patience or enthusiasm for craftsmanship or other good old-fashioned dwarven professions, not to mention being a little more insufferable than your average dwarf, Uthar drifted from one thing to another. Despite his dulled sense of compassion making him a potential soldier, Uthar could never manage the respectful or dutiful behavior and discipline needed for such a profession. He quickly dropped it as an option and moved on.
Naturally more nimble and deft of hand than most dwarves, Uthar developed ambidexterity as a child and began to ply his deft touch towards unsavory means as an adolescent, sneaking off with the few other troublemaking youths in his community to steal and pull off stunts just to flaunt their limited freedom from the strictures of dwarven society. By adulthood, still without a profession and now a gross embarressment to the Gravelsmasher clan (a long line of soldiers, siege engineers, sappers, and roadbuilders among the local hill dwarves), Uthar set off on his own after one last heist with his fellow young scoundrels. The only thing of personal importance he brought along was his great-grandfather Rulgath's old waraxe, which Uthar had never really learned to use anyway.
After a few years of wandering and minor thievery, he ran into some strange folks at a roadside inn, and somehow or another he got it in his head that it might be profitable to work with these strangers, despite the silly idealism and spirituality of some. Uthar never had much use for religion, though like most dwarves he at least paid lip service to the Soulforger and held some faint belief in Moradin's importance. Not that the slightest twinges of conscience interfered with Uthar doing whatever he needed to survive, prosper, and find his way in the world. It's not that he doesn't care about anyone, or society in general, but rather that he just doesn't see the significance of many things.
