Other: Bruno is a pretty hefty dwarf, muscular but with a large beer gut. In spite of his great stoutness, he is capable of moving with careful precision--on the occasion that he chooses to. For the most part, though, he sticks to relying on his weight.

Personality

Rambunctious, noisy and quick-to-fight, Bruno can be seen as a rather goonish dwarf. He is impulsive, irresponsible and annoyingly loudmouthed. A troublemaker. He makes his living as a small-time crook, stemming largely from a resentment for taking orders. While he fancies himself his own boss, he winds up on the henchman side of crookery more often than not.

Like many dwarves, Bruno has a great love of gems, gold, and other riches from the earth. The chance at a wealth of jewels is probably the only thing capable of overcoming his aversion to taking orders. His favored method of achieving wealth is the carefully thought out, meticulously schemed "caper"... the plot for which he almost always abandons if the opportunity for a good fight breaks out.

Love of violence, gold and freedom aside, Bruno rarely acts out of mean-spiritedness and has a great appreciation for people who can hold their own in a fight against him. He is unlikely to cheat his henchmen and cronies out of money, but doesn't hold qualms about a little physical violence against them if they irritate him. He can be pretty egotistical, and enjoys bossing his underlings around if given the opportunity.

History

Bruno was born into a lower-class mining family, as was standard before most of Ironforge's mining assets were transferred into archaeological sites. His father, Dolin Blackbrew, was a loyal, hardworking dwarf, and a diligent worker. Dolin wasn't a particularly bright or ambitious dwarf, however, and never moved up in the Miner's Guild beyond standard grunt work. As such, throughout his youth Bruno saw his father working to dig up all sorts of tantalizing gems that, inevitably, went into the King's coffers rather than his own. Naturally, as it would with any red-blooded, gem-loving dwarf, it caused no small amount of annoyance in the dwarfling Bruno.

When he reached adulthood, he went into work at the quarries himself. Before long, however, his gemlust got the better of him, and he wound up in the gang of dwarves and gnomes calling themselves "The Hidden Circle", a criminal organization devoted primarily to foisting gems and other valuables from the King's mines and other assets. The group taught him pretty well, and he became skilled at scrapping and "subterfugin'" from the various capers and brawls with guards they got him involved in. For most of his adult life he worked on-and-off with the circle, though his ego and desire for autonomy led him to become more of a freewheeler over time. To this day he works as a small-time criminal, though not necessarily based as much in the Dun Morogh mining community.
