Background: Glom comes from a dour and underprivileged background. "Eigur" is an old word for "Owner", which used to signify wealthy and esteemed families in Duergar society. Glom's great grandfather ruined the family's esteem, name and riches, however, by being a drunkard who wasted the family's money on ale and "friends". Glom grew up in a shabby house on the outskirts of his duergar community, his family shunned by their peers. His father was as a result of his low status abusive (physically and emotionally) against his wife and children. The father was a gifted smith and sculptor but he was never allowed to practice his profession openly. He was paid petty sums to produce great weaponry and other masterpieces which other acknowleged smiths and artisans took the credit for, while Glom's family starved.
Glom's "family life" ended with his father, on a drinking spree, slaughtering Glom's ma and Glom running away from home. Later on, Glom was greatly satisfied to know that his elder brother, Flam (belonging to a community of Duerra monks), returned home for a "visit" to murder their pa with his bare fists.
Goals: Glom is the family's youngest son and also the least focused and goal-determined. His main goals are quite blurry, and often consists of unrealistic fantasies. Fantasies consists of finding a woman who would even consider marrying him - any race is conceivable. Starting a chicken farm with a vaguely figured family is also another favorite fantasy, along with occasional unrealistic dreams of omnipotency (for example, ruling over an endless amount of slaves, copious amounts of food and ale, and being a highly respected nobleman in Duergar society or a feared nobleman in S'shamath). Otherwise, life is much about day-to-day survival, and having an occasional "laff" with other duergar and/or less discriminate drow.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Has a secret death wish which comes from difficult early experiences, which reveals itself in critical moments and in times of depression. Glom may be seen as ignorant due to a narrow vocabulary and low social skills, but he is in fact quite a quick learner. His manners and ways come from a lack of formal/informal education and the tendency in his family to resort to violence rather than to words.
