## At a Glance
Stocky and muscular even by dwarven standards, with a snowy white beard and coal-black eyes that have seen too many battles. His armor is well-maintained but carries the dents and scratches of long service.
## Personality
Gruff exterior, warm heart. Punctuates statements with "By Moradin's beard!" and laughs heartily at jokes good and bad. Stubborn as granite. Carries quiet shame about the scandal that ended his military career.
## Quote
_"A dwarf's life is long, but it's the friends you make along the way that truly measure its worth."_
## Stats
**Veteran** (MM 350) with dwarven resilience features.
