Character Description and History

Character History:

Wangar Hammerhead is from a family of low-class makers of weapons and armor located in a small dwarven village from the small mountain range just to the east of Leilon. Wangar's father, Bungar, is a F6, his mother, Dingat, a F3, and his older brothers, Bangar and Dangar, are both F2's. Wangar learned weapon and armor making skills in the family business. He also learned brewing skills from his father who brewed strong dark ale as a hobby.

Wangar and his brother often travelled to Leilon to sell the family crafts. On one of these business trips to Lielon, he went to the White Shark tavern for a few drinks. There he met a young mage named Ren and a young priest named Max who were heading to Luskan on an errand for the priests temple and then on to a life as adventurers. Wangar, being bored and tired of being poor, practically invited himself to come along so his two new friends wouldn't perish in there first encounter with one orc. Ren and Max were glad to have a strong axe arm with them and gladly accepted the dwarf into their company. The three travelled to Luskan and there met three others in the Flying Fish Tavern, forming what is now the Company of the Burning Scimitar.

 

Appearance & Personality:

Wangar has brownish-red hair, beard, and bushy eyebrows. Like most dwarves, Wangar is fearless in battle and very aggressive. He has actually become somewhat flamboyant for a dwarf, especially after he found his magic plate mail that is bright red and decorated with yellow flames. He always wears hard boots that he has had dyed red to match his armor and carries a magical shield that he had painted to match his armor. Lastly, he is never without his prized magical throwing axe and uses it to devastating effect against enemies of his group.

Wangar is happy with his position within the adventuring company at the moment. He has chopped down numerous enemies and gained much monetary treasure and magic, so he is no longer bored or poor. He likes to spend his money freely, but is careful not to overextend his finances. Wangar also loves animals, especially dogs. He owned a war-dog which was killed during one of his groups early adventures. After this experience, he has been reluctant to buy another.
