Appearance
Gibbs is a broad-shouldered shield dwarf with iron-gray braids tied back by a simple brass clasp. His beard is carefully split into two tails, each wrapped with white thread marked by tiny knotwork runes. He wears a travel-worn chain shirt beneath layered clerical vestments, carries a polished shield etched with a lantern and an open book, and keeps his holy symbol polished bright enough to catch torchlight from across a hall.
Mannerisms
He speaks in measured, scholarly sentences, and when nervous he rubs the knuckle of his thumb against the edge of his holy symbol. Before casting a spell, he often murmurs the citation, verse, or historical precedent he believes justifies it. He unconsciously taps the butt of his mace twice before opening any book or entering any crypt.
Personality
Patient, exacting, and quietly compassionate, Gibbs is the sort of dwarf who will spend an hour repairing a broken hinge and then five minutes delivering a stern lecture about maintenance to anyone who watched him do it. He loves orderly shelves, honest testimony, and tea brewed so strong it could wake the dead. Under pressure, his kindness becomes command presence, calm, direct, and impossible to ignore.
Ideals
Mercy through knowledge. If ignorance allows suffering, then learning is a sacred duty. Law exists to protect the weak, not to excuse the powerful. A proper record, a fair trial, and a healing hand are all forms of justice.
Bonds
He carries the final notebook of his mentor, Master Tholrik, whose unfinished annotations on burial rites Gibbs is determined to complete. He also protects a cracked stone reliquary taken from a ruined hospice, a symbol of the day he swore never again to let the helpless be abandoned.
Flaws
He trusts written records more readily than living witnesses, and he can become intolerably exacting when others treat facts carelessly. In moments of stress, he clings to procedure so tightly that he risks missing the human need in front of him. He also has a habit of trying to solve every moral problem by researching it first, even when the situation clearly calls for action.
Quirks
Background
Gibbs was born in a deep hall where every stone pillar was measured, cataloged, and named before it was ever carved. He was the sort of dwarf who asked why the old wards worked, why the ancestor tablets survived floods, and why some prayers mended flesh while others only strengthened resolve. His questions earned him chores, then access, then apprenticeship among the keep's archivists. By the time he was old enough to swing a mace in earnest, he had already copied half the monastery's histories and learned that knowledge without mercy is only a sharper kind of ignorance. When plague and undead raiders came to the border holds, Gibbs discovered that the most useful answers were not always the most elegant ones. A word of prayer, a shield raised at the right moment, and a hand steady enough to mend a wound could save a dozen lives where a shelf of scrolls could save none. He took vows to preserve the living, to record the dead honestly, and to stand between the helpless and whatever sought to claim them. Now he wanders with satchel, scripture, and stubborn resolve, serving as healer, scholar, and judge in equal measure. He believes every life is a text worth protecting, and every corruption, no matter how ancient, can be read and undone.
