Appearance

Wears some light leather slacks, an old brown overshirt, a pair of filthy leather boots, some overly repaired gloves and an old hat he found in a gryphon roost. Likes to use either very light weapons or very heavy weapons, his favor lying in a gigantic, fourty pound axe which he absolutely loves to carry around at all times. Prefers using a crossbow over a gun, as he likes controlling the tool, not having the tool control him.

Personality

Alignment: Neutral

Has a very short temper, not much patience. Can be easily manipulated if there is money involved. Likes a good drink or two, can tell apart two different ales easily. Despite his bitter past and his unclear future, Haldor is always in a good mood. Adventurous to a healthy degree, but imagines himself settling down at an old age. Even though that Haldor is not very religious he believes that Dwarves are a chosen race by the creators, or Titans, and have many abilities which are yet to be unlocked. He is neutral to almost every race, despite the fact that he believes that Dwarves are superior.

History

Haldor was born in the Dwarf city of Ironforge, he was the son of a Brewmaster, proud member of the Barrelbreaker clan. His father owned a brewery and pub, so Haldor acquired the taste for ale during his third year of life. Nothing special happened during Haldor's early years, not until he was around the age of 35, that is when the Barrelbreakers' competition began to win over, the matriarch of the family began to suffer from a heart condition, and soon, she was proclaimed dead. The brewing business had become open to sabotage and theft, and soon the pub and the brewery were sold in order to pay off the clan's debts. Most of the Barrelbreakers moved out of the Forge in order to seek wealth and prosperity in the other corners of the world.

Hard was the life for the remaining family members, and eventually most of them moved out during the course of years, with almost every Barrelbreaker vacating the city after the patriach died of old age. Yet Haldor and a few other relatives stayed behind, as they were entrusted with the senior Barrelbreaker's funeral pyre barge.

After giving the head of the family a proper burial, the Barrelbreakers sold all of their property, leaving the city in hopes to return once again, with a better fighting chance, Haldor was grieved to leave Ironforge so he was the last one to go, he instead took on several low paying jobs in order to accumulate his wealth, during this time period he acquired a fair bit of skill in many ordeals, mostly hunting, blacksmithing and survival.

But Haldor knew that it would take him a millennia to restore his clan's former glory doing small tasks like this, so he left the city and now travels the world alone, in hopes of reclaiming his clan's notability, and maybe, just maybe find his true fate.
