Fargan Ironcrag

Fargan is still young for a dwarf at 75 and it shows. His bold blonde beard doesn't have a trace of gray. Though his face is somewhat weathered, with permanent lines around the eyes and mouth due to wind and sunlight.

Before he was a soldier, he used to believe firmly in order and hierarchy. He joined the military with proud visions of honor and service in his heart. Now he is jaded and adrift somewhere between lawful and chaotic because of the things he has seen. Bad orders followed blindly, led to the death of many Dwarves at the hands of a black dragon. When he finally got there to help, he witnessed the horrific fusion of steel and flesh. Dwarven brothers, dead and cold as the stone they lay on, melted and disfigured. There was nothing he could do to help. That was the most helpless feeling in his life. He now realizes hierarchy is only as good as the Dwarf at the top, and that no longer seems like such a great idea to him. He still has a strong sense of honor and loyalty to those who fight beside him and have proven themselves in battle, but he doesn't have much use for poor leadership.

This event left him hungry for justice and answers. He received those answers from his Dwarven brothers. They led him to Tyr, a true God, who empowers true hearts to dispense justice to those who deserve it. After a few years of study with the clerics of Tyr, he was ready to stop wasting time dreaming of justice, and start being the deliverer of it.

After his service he has been wandering the land healing the sick and wounded, as if somehow trying to make up for that one day. His travels have brought him to Manywaters.

At first, people might be put off by his crude sense of humor. It's one way he copes with that memory. Those who know him, might find it amusing, or simply put up with it because he's a handy fellow to have around. While he's quick with a low brow joke, he can also be quick to anger. He used to go heavy on the ale, but that only seemed to make him feel worse which is unusual for a Dwarf. He has few options to give him peace of mind, and one of those is the adrenaline rush of battle. The others... well he hasn't figured them out yet.
