Background:
Wino used to serve as a guard in Mithril Hall, where he was born in a numerous family. Since his father was a guard obsessed by war and orcs, he grew up following a strict military code, hating orcs.
His first toy was a warhammer, a weapon that he still loves and uses; but when the father died he inherited his father's weapon: since he didn't want to get rid of one, he started to use both the warhammers togheder, getting always more good at it.
He lived his whole life in Mithril Hall, as a gate guard, being always proud of his job, even if - due to his incoherent and bullheaded behavior - he risked to lose his role a lot of times.
He left his hometown after being kicked off from the army when he started to lose control too often, even if the official excuse to let him abandon the ranks was that he started to become too old to still be competitive. So, not having any family of sort, he chose to travel across the lands he never visited, being too busy with his training. As a prize for his career in the army, he was given a winged armor that he proudly carry as a symbol of his rank among the other dwarves and as a symbol of loyalty to his race, even if no one else knows the meaning of that armor.
He roamed across the Sword Coast for years, by feet (since he hates ships and water and is too fat to sit for hours in a caravan), till he though to have discovered pretty much everything about the world around him. Then he decided to settle down in Kraak Helzak to show himself and others he's still good at doing what he thinks all dwarves were born to: wafare.
Becoming older and older, he started some obviously wrong ideas, as he always thinks to be somehow ill, he thinks to be the cutest dwarf ever since his mother used to call him "an animal", thinking it was a compliment, he thinks that male elves don't exist since he never saw any elf with a beard, and some other crazy thoughts.
Goals:
- Guard and defend the Stonebar clan wherever it decide to set, including Kraak Helzak.
- Since he is obsessed by his warhammers, he wants to have the best collection of warhammers ever gathered.
- Extinguish both orcs and half orcs.
- Find an elf with a long beard.
- Extort the more gold he can from his brother Tankard, a druid that tries to avoid his brother becoming a boar before Wino ask him for money.
- Achieve some public prize attesting he is the cutest dwarf ever.
- Learn new offensive and provoking sentences to scream during battle.
- Learn to hide an hammer beneath his beard.
- Learn to let people walk away with just a smile: since he got no teeth, that will come pretty easy.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
- He's truly obsessed by orcs and he consider elves as his friends since he knows they hate orcs too. He though does not approve elves calmness and strategy in facing those beast, as the only strategy he can think of when thinking at orcs is onslaught.
- He is scared by hins and totally unable to trust them.
- He is scared by human dressed in black as he thinks they are necromancers. This comes from a story a bard told him to scary him to the bone.
