This Dwarf appears to be old -- others of his kind could probably estimate that he's at least two hundred. Despite this, he seems to be spry and strong, good at pretending his joints don't ache. When speaking, he can be gruff, laconic, or just plain mean.

 

A close look would show faded freckles on craggy cheeks, but he'd probably prefer most folk to not draw so near as to invade his personal space with their breath. Still, one could tell that he was handsome in his youth, and he's been blessed in age!
 

His left eye is an observant olive green. The right is sometimes covered by a patch, but usually it will be revealed. There is nothing special about it at a quick glance, but one may eventually notice that it does not follow its partner as it should or react to light; it is either a glass eye or just lazy. This Dwarf is also missing most of his right pinky. 

 

All of his hair is grey, but there are traces of red from a younger age. He stays fairly tidy nowadays, and has let his hair and beard grow long, compared to how it used to be. A well-traveled Dwarf might note that this one appears to be a Firebeard, by all means.


He usually wears relatively nice and comfortable robes (unless he's working, which then it is a dirty old shirt) and carries at least one axe on his belt. That doesn't necessarily mean he's eager to use it, though; he seems to be more keen on being left alone and avoiding trouble.

 

Background

 

This Dwarf, or 'Tumunir' as he's frequently called these days, can be found looking around, listening, or squinting at any overly joyful passerby. A good description of his disposition would be 'ill-tempered'. Though lately he has perhaps been a bit more humble and subdued.

'Tumunir' has been in Bree for several years, now. He has a small social circle which he sticks to. He's been especially reticent as of late; aside from those few people who know already, he tries to keep his background to himself. He may come off as suspicious, but then again he doesn't usually seem to care what his first impression is to most folk.

Publicly, if not at the Prancing Pony or the Comb and Wattle, he could be found working in the Combe Lumberyard, or in a Dwarven Builder's Group made of of several Bree-Dwarves. Because of this, he usually smells like the woods, or construction.

He has built himself a cabin on some property on the far outskirts of the road, around the other Dwarves in his community, after having boarded at Taite Rushwood's Boarding House for several good years. He now has way too many felines at this property.

He might be getting a bit touched in the head as time goes on, or maybe he already was . . .

 

Friends
He's friendly with some people, such as Maurr and Byrge. He knows Brumirr especially well, and is very fond of Taite.
Relatives
None that would claim him. Really trying his hardest to be a good father to Arlis.
Rivals/Enemies
He's trying to have none.
Loves
All of his cats.
Hates
A good amount of things, such as being snuck up on or overly-rowdy people.
Motivation
Contentment.
Quotes
"No."
