Character Description: Vhabner Hardhead was born into clan Hardhead in the Snowflake mountains. His father was the head blacksmith. When Vhabner was 50 years of age he went to train to be a fighter with another allied Dwarf clan that had a better fighting academy. He stayed for 50 years before returning home. When he finally got back home he found that his clan had been obliterated. He found a lone surviving cleric. The cleric explained that the king had decided to expand the cavern walls of clan Hardhead and accidentally opened the lair of a ferocious red dragon. The attacked on the dragon was futile and after it destroyed the party sent to kill it the dragon entered the dwarves stronghold sweeping through sending all in its blazing path to Myrkle's Realm of the Dead. Soon it returned to its slumber on it gargantuan hoard of gold and treasures. When the fighter heard the story he went into a berserker mode charging weaponless into the dragon's domain. The dragon woke with a jerk as the earsplitting battlecry pierce the room around it. It inhaled a large breath ready to release a fire so hot that only a red dragon could possess. The dwarf didn't even notice as he saw the hilt or something protruding out from the gold. He grabbed it with both hands and kept on charging. Even as the dragon's breath engulfed the fighter Vhagner kept on and when he was in reach of the dragon he brought the axe over his head and brought it down with force only an outraged dwarf could muster. The dragon gave a violent shake and vanished. The fires in Vhabner's eyes faded and he looked at the axe he now held. It grew to a brilliant red light making Vhabner blink several times. He felt some kind of knew power within him afterwards that he could not explain. He went back to the cleric and instructed him to heal any remaining survivors he could find then pray as hard as he could to Clangeddin for the power to resurrect. After a few days work half of the clan was back living again. The other half were to mutilated by the fire to be brought back. The king was one of that half so Vhabner himself was announced king of the clan. He then gave his position to his father and explained that when all was well and back in order he would leave to journey across the Realms to see what he could see and kill anything evil that should cross his path. 50 years past until he could finally do that. The day he did he received many magical gifts from his fellow clan members. He put most of them in a magical bag of holding he received. For the next 50 years Vhabner's reputation as a hero spread across the Realms. He helped the town of Calimport from the oncoming attack of a drow army, protected a half-ling village from a clan of raiding ogres and giants. He did many good deeds. He saved Baldur's Gate from an invasion of dopplegangers. Presently he has joined the Harpers and is investigating a case in Waterdeep. He took his evidence and clues to the great library of Candlekeep to look up things that the Prophet Alaundo announced would happen.
