Appearance
Borr is a compact hill dwarf with a square build, iron-gray hair braided close to his scalp, and a neatly trimmed beard bound with brass rings. His dark eyes are steady and observant. Within a minute of meeting him, most people notice that he constantly presses his tongue against one back molar while thinking, creating a faint clicking sound. When he laughs, his broad lower teeth show prominently, giving his otherwise stern face an unexpectedly warm quality. He dresses in layered charcoal robes beneath a practical leather belt, with a brass-bound spellbook tucked against his hip.
Mannerisms
Borr pauses before answering difficult questions, clicks his tongue against a back molar while thinking, and adjusts the brass clasp of his spellbook whenever he senses danger. He reads inscriptions aloud under his breath and counts steps in unfamiliar corridors.
Personality
Quietly inquisitive and methodical, Borr prefers precise questions to grand speeches. He is patient with honest ignorance, unexpectedly funny when relaxed, and deeply protective of anyone who treats knowledge as a responsibility rather than a possession.
Ideals
Truth is worth pursuing even when it is inconvenient, dangerous, or politically costly. A fact does not become less true because powerful people dislike it.
Bonds
He carries a fragment of a damaged dwarven chronicle that describes a sealed observatory beneath the old mountain roads. Borr believes the missing pages contain a warning about a magical catastrophe, and he will risk much to recover them before the wrong scholar does.
Flaws
Borr assumes that every mystery can be solved if he gathers enough evidence, and he becomes stubborn or dismissive when forced to act without sufficient information. He also has difficulty leaving a written record uncorrected, even when doing so would be safer or more polite.
Quirks
Background
Borr Kett was raised in a hill dwarf archive where genealogies, mining records, temple contracts, and old expedition journals were kept in stone vaults beneath the clan hall. His family expected him to become a careful registrar, but Borr became fascinated by the small inconsistencies that appeared in copied texts. A missing rune, a changed date, or a name written in the wrong hand could reveal a buried feud, a forgotten tunnel, or something far more dangerous. His habit of clicking his tongue against a rear molar began during those years, a quiet rhythm he used to count lines of text and test his concentration.
