Appearance
A broad-shouldered mountain dwarf with weather-darkened copper skin, a blunt black beard braided with three iron rings, and close-cropped hair threaded with silver. His hands are heavily callused from reins, rope, and weapon work. A narrow strip of blue guild cloth is tied around his left wrist, faded almost white except where his thumb has polished it smooth through years of nervous rubbing. He wears practical chain mail beneath a charcoal traveling coat, with a compact crossbow case, manacles, and a battered ledger kept within easy reach.
Mannerisms
Mkwazi tests the balance of any object placed before him, including cups, cutlery, and other people's weapons. When listening to a lie, he becomes very still except for the slow tightening of his left thumb against the faded guild cloth around his wrist.
Personality
Mkwazi speaks in short, practical sentences and remembers small details about everyone he meets, especially which hand they use to open a door. He is patient with frightened witnesses, unexpectedly gentle with animals, and deeply suspicious of anyone who says a bounty is easy money.
Ideals
Accountability. A person can be forgiven, but only after they answer for what they did. The law is imperfect, yet surrendering judgment entirely to fear or money is worse.
Bonds
The Bounty Hunters Guild of Askia gave my family protection during a lean winter, and I will not let its name be cheapened by kidnappers, extortionists, or hunters who treat living people as coin.
Flaws
I assume every unexplained kindness is a negotiation, and I can become so focused on securing an escape route that I miss what my companions are trying to tell me.
Quirks
Background
Mkwazi Korpela was raised in the iron-cut terraces below Askia's northern escarpment, where dwarf households measured trust by whether a person returned borrowed tools in better condition than they received them. His mother kept ledgers for caravan insurers, while his father repaired restraint gear for magistrates and guild escorts. Mkwazi learned early that a bounty notice was not merely a name and a price. It was a chain of obligations, frightened witnesses, bad information, and someone who had decided that running was safer than answering questions. He joined the Bounty Hunters Guild of Askia after tracking a stolen mule train through three districts, not by following hoofprints, but by noticing which wells had gone suddenly quiet.
“His mother kept ledgers for caravan insurers, while his father repaired restraint gear for magistrates and guild escorts.”
