Wary, morose, wise, patient, perceptive, clever, resourceful, creative, pessimistic. He loves his brother fervently.  Deathly afraid of foreseeing his own end.  Older twin brother of Nali, both sons of Guildmaster Nir.

Secrets:

He is troubled by almost constant visions of the fate of others.  He prophesied Oli's end, and to this day the Rune-caster is afraid of him.  He has not spoken a verbal word in fifty years, indeed he speaks only in iglishmek and only to his brother Nali.  Ironically, while he is burdened with the knowledge of others fortune he has never foreseen his own.

Both are of Durin's Folk

Once a master jeweler in Barukhizdin in the Emyn Engrin.  He was exiled by Lord Drôm after his brother murdered his abusive father Nir.  Neither Rali nor Nali has spoken of that day since it happened fifty years ago.  Dwain is aware of their history, through his allies in the Iron Hills.
