Appearance
Brann is a compact, heavily muscled mountain dwarf with chalk-white skin, pale eyebrows, and nearly colorless eyes that seem pink in strong light. His beard is thick and braided with copper rings, though its hair is as white as fresh snow. He carries an enormous warhammer named Kegsplitter in one hand and almost always has a dented tankard in the other. His clothes are practical brewer's workwear beneath a weather-stained traveling cloak, with a leather apron folded over his pack.
Mannerisms
Brann polishes his tankard with the corner of his beard whenever he is thinking. He taps the haft of his warhammer against stone before entering a new room, listens for the echo, and refers to all underground spaces as cellars.
Personality
Brann is blunt, genial, and unexpectedly observant. He remembers everyone's preferred drink after meeting them once, dislikes elegant speeches, and shows affection by repairing damaged equipment without being asked. In a fight he becomes eerily quiet, as though listening to a distant hammer striking an anvil.
Ideals
Endurance. A person, like a good ale, proves their worth by surviving pressure, time, and bad handling.
Bonds
The trapped miners and brewers of Kegwright Hall are his family. He will risk almost anything to protect the guild's name, recover the missing master cask, and uncover who caused the cave-in.
Flaws
He treats nearly every problem as something that can be solved by hitting it harder or fermenting it longer. Brann is suspicious of anyone who refuses a drink, and when embarrassed by his albinism or treated like an omen, he becomes stubbornly confrontational. He also cannot admit that he is lost, even when he is plainly walking in circles.
Quirks
Background
Brann Kegwright was born during a winter so harsh that the elders claimed the mountain itself had turned white in sympathy. His albinism made him an object of uneasy superstition in his home hold, but his grandmother refused to let anyone treat him as fragile. She put a hammer in his hands before he could properly lift it and taught him that good work was measured by what it endured, not by how it looked. Brann became a brewer, learning to judge a drink by scent, weight, and the sound it made when poured. He was better at breaking casks than making them, but his stout ales earned a modest reputation among miners and caravan guards. When a cave-in trapped half his guild beneath an abandoned lower tunnel, Brann drank the last undiluted batch of his own strongest beer, seized the oversized warhammer used to split keg staves, and went below alone. He returned three days later with survivors, a cracked hammer, and a new understanding of the fury that lived beneath his calm. The guild called the feat a miracle. Brann called it proper cellar maintenance. Now he travels as a wandering brewer and sellsword, searching for the gang that sabotaged the mine. He believes the saboteurs were looking for something buried beneath the hold, something that made the stone hum when his hammer struck it.
