Grudgebearer is a Dwarven blacksmith from a small stronghold in the Eastern arm of the old kingdom mountains on the Timiro side.  They mine the mountain for what ore's and gems it has left and craft them for sale in the Timiro and Eastern Kingdom.  Like many mountain communities they mine, craft and always fortify in the winter, plant and prepare for trade in the spring, sell, trade and gather in the summer and in the fall prepare for the coming winter locked in the mountain.
  Since birth Grudgebearer had and has to this day always been a bit of a lone and solitary individual.  He is not socially handicap and can hold his own in any festivities or family gathering and actually quite enjoy's them.  The difference is his idea of a good relaxing time is working at the forge for long hours well into the evening while the others are at the tavern drinking a pint.  Or finding himself a comfortable spot to carve an intricate piece of work.  It is the pursuit of his craftsmanship that drives him.  His father seeing this not as a bad trait but one that could use some worldly stretching has challenged Grudgebearer to go out see what this world is about.  Grudgebearer has accepted the challenge as one to improve his craftsmanship skills and more importantly his combat skill which he feels are quite lacking.
  For his stature Grudgebearer should not worry to much about his combat abilities.  What he lacks in formal training he more then makes up for with natural physical aptitude.  Physically powerful, fairly good reflexes and with great wind of the lungs.
  Grudgebearer is very husky with a strongman build, his black but very advanced graying and whitening beard which flows down his chest and finally rests just above his thick leather belt.  Which he keeps neatly trimmed and in some small braids bound by hand crafted silver clasps he made.  His hair is shoulder length, half tied to a back ponytail the rest left to hang loosely with some small braids in the front also secured with hand made silver clasps.
  Grudge likes to stay in his working clothes which consist of a thin woolen holey grey shirt, which the sleeves are often rolled up.  Over top a heavily  faded thick black  leather apron that hangs just to his knees.  Heavy sand colored canvas cargo pants with burn holes and a heavy black leather belt with a large belt buckle from which hangs some small leather pouches. Heavy steel toed hobnail combat boots loosely tied, with the pant legs semi tucked and sitting on top.  His look is scruffy but comfortable.  When working at the forge he wears a leather cap that drapes down to cover his hair which is held in place by a custom pair of goggles to shield his eyes from his work.
