Son and Grandson of Smiths, Attila was bound to the craft as sure as he was a dwarf... or so they thought. The little joy he had from his family legacy was rapidly forgotten once he first rode a horse. Vowing never to live underground again he set off for the north eventually joining roving bands of horsemen that prowled the Bandit Kingdoms of Greyhawk. With time came the mastery of riding and of warcraft. His sturdy Warpony and a good battleaxe his constant companions in a harsh but unhindered lifestyle.
With the wind in his face and a mount to ride nothing was lacking but a little adventure. Iuz´s encroachment in the north meant those few dwarves left to the north were bound to be besieged. Entrusted with the remains of the Dwarven Monarch, to be taken to the southern kingdoms of his kind, he set off to face destiny.
That is when he met up with some hardy adventurers named Sayena, the Paladin Woman (or wench when his temper dictates) and the Mysterious Kant, a Monk of much wisdom and little muscle. Min Hao an Elven cleric soon joined the band and has become a trusted ally as well, thou he could manage his weapons a little better.
Thru their many adventures Attila eventually developed many skills and tendencies. After using a Berserker Mask, and having lived among the barbaric horsemen, Attila started acquiring a battle rage and an almost impossible awareness of danger. Thou already very nimble and dextrous for a Dwarf his instincts got better and he is always one of the first to react to any danger.
Recently he retired his battle axe and shield to take up the Great Axe... quickly gaining mastery of the dangerous weapon thru which he has expressed his anger and combat frenzy. Thou he prefers to fight on the back of a trusted warpony... their adventures have taken him away from his beloved plains and "horses" (warponies for humans).
Attila might not be the strongest of dwarves (Str 16 -> 18 8th lvl) but he likes to claim being " The fastest Dwarf alive"... (Dex 16) even in his Breastplate he can almost keep up with lightly armored humans (speed 25') and can keep running for quite some time (Con 16). Reaction wise he is without peer and hits those pesky spellcasting foes in a blink of an eye (improved initiative + dex = +7 init ). His battle prowess is completed by his Great Axe specialization.
His excelence in combat is a little tarnished by his lack of finer manners and diplomacy... his fast temper and lack of understanding for others difficulties. (Wis and Int 10) His Dwarven roughness and loud mouth makes him few friends as well (Cha 8). Thou he never set to be a hero and in fact tends to react more to situations than actually seek results, Attila has proven Brave and generous. He tends to favor his companions over even fellow dwarves yet feels they are a little too zealous about helping others (alignment Neutral). He sees the current moment as something to be lived at its fullest... with little thought to consequences or morality. Has tried to control his drinking and fornicating after being tricked by a Succubus disguised as a most gorgeous dwarven woman....
His dislike of the underground life has been strongly associated with the natural Dwarven greed for metals and gems... Attila left not only the tunnels... but all the greed and pride associated with material wealth... gold is now but a necessary tool to get what he needs to live his life of freedom. A certain claustrofobia has developed from his years of living in the plains and on horseback, the underground life now being an anathema and abberation to this wildish dwarf.
