Appearance
A broad-shouldered mountain dwarf with a shaved head, heavy copper-brown beard, and slate-gray eyes. His hands are callused from years of masonry, drilling, and close combat. He wears scale mail over a dark blue tunic, carries a rune-marked quarterstaff like a walking beam, and keeps his spellbook chained shut at his belt. His beard is braided with iron rings taken from broken weapons.
Mannerisms
Shashir rolls his shoulders before answering difficult questions, taps his quarterstaff twice against the floor before entering a room, and addresses spellcasters by their full names as if inspecting recruits.
Personality
Blunt, patient, and intensely practical. Shashir speaks softly until a fight begins, then becomes grimly cheerful. He respects people who keep their promises, maintain their equipment, and admit when they are afraid. He studies arcane theory with surprising diligence but insists that knowledge is only worthwhile if it survives contact with a clenched fist.
Ideals
Discipline. Strength is meaningful only when it is controlled. Every problem should first be met with preparation, endurance, and the courage to stand close enough to be hurt.
Bonds
During a disastrous expedition, a young mage saved Shashir's life with a spell and then vanished beneath the ruins. Shashir now carries that mage's spellbook, not as a treasured source of power, but as a promise that he will find the missing wizard and repay the debt in person. His old unit also depends on him to uncover who caused the collapse.
Flaws
He sees retreat as a moral failure and assumes anyone who relies on magic is avoiding honest effort. When frightened, he becomes more aggressive, not less, and he cannot resist proving that he can break something that was designed to resist him.
Quirks
Background
Shashir Ironhand was raised beneath the mountain fortress of Khar-Dum, where his family repaired siege engines and reinforced tunnel gates. He showed an unusual talent for reading the geometric structure of arcane symbols, but he hated the way other apprentices used that talent. To Shashir, magic was always an excuse to stand far away from consequences. He entered the fortress guard instead, becoming famous for breaking training constructs with a quarterstaff and for carrying wounded soldiers out of collapsing passages.
