Thorbeck was born to his father Faldak and mother Beatrel who lived in Erebor, His family escaped when Smaug attacked and relocated to the Iron Hills. He was born years later and grew quickly and began to take an interest in combat. When he grew old enough he journied to Erebor to make a life there and find something to fight for. He stayed in Erebor and served in it's Military, going on many missions into nearby caves to flush out Goblins. He became good at this, only going with a small handful of other dwarves to do these missions, all of them carrying their weapon of choice and mining gear but wearing heavy armour so they could find Goblin tunnels and get rid of them with ease and not need to worry about them attacking Dwarf lands. After a while of that, surprisingly Thorbeck grew tired of all of it, it may of been the discipline and orders he had to follow, he wished to do things as he wished. He wrote a letter, asking to be released of his service which was granted, on the condition he would report anything he found of use to the dwarves back to them. He travelled all over middle earth, landing many jobs in the blue mountains where he soon found Bree. He loved the diversity and the people, so he stuck around there. He took jobs killing large beasts, he calls "Monster hunting." and taking mercenary jobs to make coin. He now has met an adventuring group sworn to help those in need, so he will stay with them and lend his skill to help them in their quests.
