He wants a magic crown, so he can show his father who is boss. And he's willing to work with oathbreakers & outcasts to get this crown because it's so important to him.I am playing Thurik, the brother of Burik. Thurik swore an oath to his father, the former Prince of the hold, to accept Burik as his new Prince. Thurik broke that oath, and was outcast from the hold. Thurik wants the crown for himself so that he can claim the Dwarven hold for himself, and advance himself to be the Prince.The two of them are working together because each brings skills & resources that the other one lacks, and finding the crown is impossible without the other.(Burik would just as soon be rid of Thurik, and Thurik would rather have Burik's head on a pike... but doing so would not get either of them closer to the prize!)...Your character doesn't have to like his companions in order to cooperate & to accomplish things. Think about Sturm Brightblade & Raistlin Majere, if you've read the old Dragonlance books. (Damn, I wish I had some more recent fiction to put up there...)The fact that the others can help your character is reason enough to tolerate them, provided that the goal is lofty & compelling enough.In the "Braveheart" movie, William Wallace enlisted & depended on the support of the Nobility at the Battle of Falkirk... so you can work with those you dislike (or even despise) if it gets you closer to where you really want to get to.</blockquote>
