Tormund Ironforge

Backstory
Born the only son of Thorhaeg and Morlian Ironforge, Tormund lived a life of relative comfort as a child. As the son of the Clan Chieftain, he was enamored with the tales heralded of his father and was driven to follow in his footsteps.

As a young dwarf of the Ironforge clan Tormund was driven out of his former stronghold Nor Lodar following a raid by an army of marauders. The army was lead by the fierce Goliath War chief.

Tormund who was stationed to oversee the tunnels leading to the Underdark was overwhelmed during the attack and fled. During his frantic departure he suffered a near fatal wound, but managed to narrowly escape capture before being discovered by a Gnome Cleric and her party. Transporting the nearly deceased dwarf to the nearest town, he was left in the care of a local inn keeper. Once Tormund regained his strength, he traveled back to Nor Lodar only to see that his familial home had been razed to the ground and that there was no one left. Upon searching the rubble

Appearance
Tormund is a stout dwarf with a long red beard and short hair. Wearing a set of heavy full plate that appears to be forged of bronze and adorned with gems. He caries a shield which prominently features a decorative half mask emblazoned with two large rubies for eyes, a tribute to the dwarven deity Gorm Gulthyn.

At his side he keeps an exquisitely crafted waraxe, angular in form with a finely honed edge as if it was just forged. A family heirloom that appears to predate modern dwarven society, as the finely engraved runes appear to be in a forgotten tongue.

On closer inspection, you may notice a light scar that runs along the right side of his neck. A lasting remark on the painful memory of his fallen homeland.

Personality
Tormund is known for having a stern and stubborn demeanor quite typical of his ilk. Only cracking a smile while performing one of his two favorite past times, drinking or fighting. While rather dim and guillable in nature, he makes up for this with shear unrelenting force.

From his younger years protecting his clan from the underdark, he has developed a deep hatred for Orc, goblins and other creatures that call it home.
