Monk
Brottir Embermug
Species
Dwarf
Appearance
A squat, broad-shouldered dwarf with the battered look of a tavern table that has survived too many fistfights. His beard is iron gray at the roots and stained copper at the tips from old ale, braided with tiny bent coins, prayer beads, and one cracked river pearl he refuses to explain. His skin is sunburned the color of forge-smoke and dried clay, mapped with knuckle scars, burned fingertips, and a fresh bruise that he treats like jewelry. He moves with a wobbling, insulting sway that seems half drunkenness and half performance, but his feet are always exactly where they need to be. The strangest thing about him is that his left eye is milky and unfocused while his right eye is sharp and glittering like polished obsidian, giving him the unsettling impression of being both blind and always watching.
“Low, gravelly, and slurred only enough to make strangers underestimate him. He speaks with a brewer's cadence, as if every sentence is being poured from a heavy cask, and he often finishes threats like they are bar tab advice.”

Distinguishing Features
A cracked pearl embedded in one beard braid, said to be the only thing he kept from the monastery fire.
A permanent tremor in his left hand that disappears the moment combat starts.
Burn scars across the right side of his ribs shaped like a half-circle, as if a cask was pressed into him by a flame.
Voice
“Gravel-thick and wry, with a smoker's rasp and the sleepy menace of a man who can wake into violence instantly”
Clothing
A sleeveless monk's coat cut from faded brown wool and patched with tavern linen, knotted at the waist by a rope belt that also carries a flask, prayer cord, and small iron weights. His boots are soft-soled and cracked, designed for silent footwork, while his wrists are wrapped in strips of red cloth that once belonged to his dead master.
Body Language
Leans his weight on one heel, shoulders loose as if he might topple at any moment, but his hands never stop being ready. He rubs his thumb across old calluses when thinking and tilts his head like he is listening to distant hammer strikes.
