Torvald Grimhammer
Artificer (Battle Smith)
Torvald Grimhammer
Species
Mountain Dwarf
Appearance
Torvald is a walking monument of industry, standing four feet tall with shoulders so broad he has to turn sideways to enter most human doors. His skin is stained with the permanent gray of coal dust, making him look as if he were carved from granite. His beard is a thick, soot-matted braid of deep mahogany tied with iron rings, and his eyes burn with a startling ember-orange glow that seems to catch the light of any nearby fire. He moves with a deliberate, heavy-footed stomp that echoes in his stone halls, yet his hands possess a surprising, surgical grace when holding a smith's hammer or an engraver's tool. Paradoxically, despite his rough exterior, he wears a monocle of fine polished quartz when inspecting tiny runes.
“Short, clipped sentences. He speaks with a deep, gravelly baritone and often uses metalworking metaphors to describe people.”
