Boggi Steelhelm is a broad shouldered mountain dwarf with a weathered bronze face, a thick braided beard bound in iron rings, and a scar across one cheek that looks like it was earned in a desperate shield wall. He wears polished chain mail beneath a travel worn soldier's cloak, keeps a battered round shield close at hand, and carries himself like a veteran who still expects the next order to come from somewhere uphill. His eyes are sharp, gray, and alert, always scanning for exits, ambushes, and the quickest route to loot without needless bloodshed.

Boggi is blunt, steady, and unexpectedly kind once he decides someone is worth the trouble. He enjoys discipline, good wages, clean kit, and the satisfaction of a plan that holds under pressure. He is not flashy, but he takes pride in being the dwarf who stays standing when everyone else is looking for cover.

Boggi Steelhelm was born deep in a high mountain hold where stone, oath, and reputation mattered more than coin. He learned to swing a hammer before he was old enough to shave, and like many dwarf sons with strong arms and a restless heart, he was expected to spend his life in the forges or the tunnels. Boggi had other ideas. He wanted stories, hard travel, and a chance to test himself against enemies that did not already know his name. When a free company came through the holds hiring stout arms for a border war, he signed on with a grin and a pack full of provisions, promising his clan he would return with glory, scars, and a profitable share.
