- He was also the commander of a warband of fifty, granting him with great pool of knowledge.
- He was scarred heavilly, especially in the year 135 versus a band of Desert bandit led by four Genasi, of each elements. He was burned, by both fire and ice. Broke his legs from a fall that the Wind Genasi's gluf of wind caused him. And at last, his chin was broken by the apparently strong head of an Earth Genasi. He survived, but had to retire from commanding army to recover. And worst of all, the battle was nearly lost, some of his best friends, his right hand, left hand, died. They only survived because of the Monarch's reinforecements. It is only now he recovered and is greatily out of shape.(20 years lack of anything)
- He owns a stainless Dwarven Waraxe inherit from his Grandfather's Grandfather. This weapon was passed down each time a dwarf went on his pilgrimage to find his son's or daughter's gift (The Sandstone clan only gives birth to one child, save when it's twin, the harsh conditions of the desert makes a limit on how many mouths their trade can feed). The blade is 400 year old. It is unknown to vesur wether it is enchanted or not, but over the four hundred years it holds no signs of battle but the stories tell that his father used it versus the dragon.

Background:
Born in the harsh deserts of the Calim Desert, even if a good mile or two underneath to the clan of Sandstone.
His family line, the Thunden line, were descendants of the Founder's Bodyguard, a Barakor. To honour him, each member were trained in the art of war, some became barakor themselves, while others became soldiers and defended the clanhold from both the bandits above and the Drow and duergar underneath. Vesur was such a soldier, a designated one. He always had a knack for tactics, for how to make the best of the situation with the least casualities, which gained him honour. Only one thing gave him more honour is, that he led his men on the front lines, the reason of his many scars.What led to his soldieering and not the life of a Barakor is rather simple, while he had a great knowledge on the inner workings and everything, he lacked the dedication it took one to protect a single person, he preferred to work alongside others
. For the first fifty years of his life, he was sheltered from the battle field, his parents making sure that he was truly prepared to avoid losing a member of the great Sandstone clan. Their care paid off, for during his first battle, multiple Camel-riding bandits fell to his axe. The monarch recognised his skill, and told his right hand to make sure Vesur was taugth proper tactics. For Fifty years, his carrier as a Dwarven commander skyrocketed, from mere squad leader he became a man that a fifty dwarf followed with no doubt
. It was not without perils though, once he almost lost his arm, another time the top of his head, but he survived. These battles left deep, heavy and even crippling scars on his body, he had access to magical regeneration but he refused. He claimed that with these scars, he can inspire courage to his men while demoralizing the opponent. He was correct. And then, as every good dwarf should do by his first century, he picked himself a good
lass. He had no trouble courting her either, and married her exactly during his one hundredth birthday. Soon his father became grandfather and his scars were too brutal by that time, scaring the soldiers of his. It was time for him to go on a pilgrimage, like his father before him, his father's father before him and so on. In the Thunden line of Sandstone, it is tradition that by the time a dwarf's child have celebrated his come of age, the father is to go on an adventure to find a gift for his son or daughter. Vesur was gifted with an amulet of the Eternally Vigilant from the Copperhard dwarven clan, dwarves that reside up in the far Great Rift. Vesur always prized it, and carries even now and protects it with his life. But he wishes to gift his son something unique, something ancient, something once-a-clan's lifetime. And so he set off towards the Baldur's Gate region, a calisthe merchant having told him of the dragons attacking the city. his eyes were brightened up. He has experience with dragons, his father being a famed Dragon-Slayer, known as Luwasryk the Blue-bane. Once a blue dragon decided to try and raid the clanhold, and Luwasryk alongside some of the braver dwarves fended the beast off. And actually, the clan's founding is related to blue dragons, their cave having originally been the nesting place of blue dragons and their slaves.Goals:
