Appearance
During is a broad-shouldered hill dwarf with a thick copper-brown beard braided with small iron rings. He moves with a deliberate, rolling gait, favoring neither side, but he rarely stops moving completely. His fingers tap quiet rhythms against his shield rim, and his breathing becomes audibly measured whenever danger approaches. He wears well-maintained scale mail beneath a weathered gray cloak, with a silver holy symbol of his life-giving deity hanging over his chest. His eyes are bright and observant, and his expression often suggests that he has just heard an amusing secret.
Mannerisms
During taps his fingers against his shield in a steady rhythm while thinking. He pauses before answering questions, drawing one slow breath through his nose, then speaks in a low, resonant voice. When angry, his breathing becomes carefully controlled and his words become unnervingly precise.
Personality
During is warm, forthright, and intensely attentive to suffering. He remembers the names of servants, stable hands, wounded soldiers, and grieving relatives long after others have forgotten them. He enjoys irreverent jokes about temple bureaucracy, but he becomes solemn and unexpectedly fierce when someone mistakes obedience for goodness. He prefers direct action to philosophical debate, though he has a habit of turning every practical decision into a small moral lesson.
Ideals
Life is a gift, not a possession. Every person deserves the chance to grow, heal, and choose their own path, even when old customs insist otherwise.
Bonds
He carries a small iron seed box containing the last viable seeds from his home temple's sacred garden. He will risk almost anything to return them to the sanctuary or plant them in a place where ordinary people can benefit from them.
Flaws
During cannot easily abandon anyone who is suffering, even when helping them is dangerous or strategically foolish. He also has little patience for people who treat tradition as an excuse for cruelty, and his blunt denunciations can turn allies into enemies.
Quirks
Background
During the Deathless was born in a hill dwarf settlement built around terraced gardens, ancestral crypts, and a spring believed to have been blessed by the gods. His unusual name was given after he survived a childhood fever that carried away several other children in the village. The elders called his recovery a miracle. During rejected the idea that survival made him special, insisting instead that it made him responsible. He entered the temple as an acolyte, where he learned scripture, herbal medicine, burial rites, and the practical work of keeping people alive through winter, famine, and war.
