Background:
Sent to assist the Shield dwarves in the cleaning of Mithril Hall, Rygus had his first taste of battle after the drow had been purged and the orcs and other denizens from the dark sought to come in to fill the void. For the past decade, Rygus has patrolled the halls using Grumbar’s gifts and the strength of his arm to keep the mines a safe place.
Personality:
Rygus takes his job as a Warden very serious and his faith to Grumbar even more so. Seeing his race as being born from Moradin’s will and Grumbar’s blessings, Rygus sees no problem in serving a deity that some would associate as belonging outside of the dwarven pantheon. Leaving the heavy debates on philosophy to those who can no longer serve as Wardens, Rygus combines his physical strengths and divine abilities to their maximum effect. He is well aware there are others who are stronger and smarter than he is, but he also knows they can fall to a well-placed hammer strike as surely as any other foe.
Appearance:
Rygus is an average sized dwarf, and is usually found walking the earthen caverns near his clan garbed in his plate armor with his hammer and shield at the ready. The shield and breastplate of his armor have the mountain of Grumbar worked into it. His armor, shield and hammer are all of exquisite dwarven artisanship and were awarded to him for the services he has proved in defense of clan and kin. Rygus keeps his cut short and covered by his helm, but his one concession to vanity is his beard, which he wears long, braided and tucked into his belt to keep it out of the way. Across his back, he wears his battered and dusty pack and his boots, like his pack, are worn from trudging up and down the halls looking for those who would harm his clan.
