Grodo is a calm and gentle person. He enjoys the company of other people and likes to listen to them and help them solve their problems. He tries to avoid fights, but as every dwarf, he's ready to protect his honor against any foe.

History

Grodo was born in Kharanos 112 years ago. His father was a hunter, who loved his guns and his mother - a waitress in an inn in Ironforge. Grodo grew up quietly and in piece. He was about 12 years old when his father gave him his first try with a rifle. The young dwarf had to hit a mug from about 10 meters, and surprisingly - he did it. Ever since Grodo got even more into guns. He went hunting with his father sometimes or took one of his old rifles and shot at stones, old mugs, crates and other useless junk out of town.

The young dwarf quickly became a good marksman and a valuable asset for his family, since he provided good quantities of meat for the dinner table. Soon he had so good catch that part of it was sold to the inn in Kharanos. When he became an adult, he started looking for work. At the age of 43 he was enlisted in the Ironforge Mountaineers, where he developed a good sense for justice and pride. Working with the Mountaineers made Grodo an excellent fighter and shooter, even better than he was before. His combat skills and good judgment quickly became famous around Dun Morogh and he was considered a great dwarf, perfectly fit for the job of a mountaineer.

He did an excellent job for quite some time, until about an year ago, a terrible accident happened. While he was going back home one night, he heard some screams from just outside of town. He gripped his hammer and ran towards the place to find out what is going on. After a minute or so, he ended up on a small meadow, where two dwarf children were shivering in fear, as a big black bear was approaching them slowly with a horrible roar. The battle shout of the dwarf tore apart the calm night, as he charged to the huge animal with his hammer high in the air. A fierce battle begun, in which each of the enemy was trying to deliver a deadly blow on the other. Yet, none of them managed to for a long time. Finally, Grodo swung his hammer with great strength right to the bear's back. The animal's spine let out a loud crack, as the iron weapon contacted it. Yet, the dwarf was so exhausted, that he couldn't move aside as quick as needed, while the bear attacked for the last time before it died. Grodo ended up with a leg, broken in a few places and with torn muscles from the claws of the beast.

After this accident, he needed almost an year to make a full recovery, but by then, he was already retired from the Mountaineers. Now he's trying to get himself back in condition to become a Mountaineer again.
