Personality

Alignment: Neutral

Hoifur is mainly industrious, hard-working, ambitious and most of all plagued by bad luck. He has a good eye for opportunities, but his lack of wisdom keeps sending his enterprises to the ground.

Overall he is quite easy-going and nice, enjoys spending time in taverns brawling, drinking, singing and dancing. He also likes candy and children, always enjoying helping one with any need.

While working however, he can be very obstinate and hot-headed, and also very dis-trusting giving everybody a bad eye, whether they are friends or people unknown.

Finally, Hoi changes when he enters his mad state, losing any kind of inhibitions, he starts cursing and taunting, and expressing an exaggerated form of his true thoughts.

History

Hoifur was born in Kharanos, son of Toirin Blackbrew, an average dwarf with the dream of becoming a brewmaster, this he attempted when Hoifur was a kid, and failed horribly as his brew was mixed with many handfuls of cigar ash. As a result the people in inn were poisoned, and Toirin was arrested and then confined to jail. Hoifur and his mother had to run to Ironforge, where years later, leaving behind his life as a kid in Kharanos, he would turn into a fine blacksmith, his bad luck however, interfered whenever he tried to make a straight sword. This resulted in Hoi’s twisting blades, which sold fast and made quite a fame, this fame attracted a goblin merchant, who offered Hoi a contract to work in Booty Bay. He gladly accepted.

Hoi worked then some time, but then his boss, escaping from some loans, just disappeared, leaving Hoi with the huge debts. So he flees and enters the jungle in an intent of losing the loan sharks, after hours of running away, Hoi finds himself in some ancient troll ruins, where he finds some old stone figures, with gems as eyes and details. There his dwarven nature kicks in, and he decides to hunt treasure to pay the goblins that are after him, but then on second thought, he chooses to run off even farther and sell the relics for himself.

But then he hears the rumors in taverns that his old shop has been burnt down, and that the goblins are still on the hunt for him, so Hoi decides to keep a low profile, and leaves the blacksmithing for a while, dedicating himself to treasure hunting! In hopes to find a big load, that would resolve his life.
