Private Biography for Quint, dwarven ranger and tunnel rat.

First Name: Quint
Last Name: None (clanless dwarf, see plot hooks)

Appearance:

You see a dwarf before you. As far as dwarfs go this one is exceptionally short and exceptionally lean. He walks with a slight stoop and his skin is pale and ashen; both telltale signs of too much time underground...even for a dwarf. He is strapped in axes, all of dwarven make. He wears cloth colored in the tones of the earth, tans and browns and greys. The dwarf's beard is black as coal, his hair hidden beneath a cowl.

Sapphire eyes flit from one thing to the next constantly. His nails are coarse and caked with grime. His clothes are wrought with dust and cobwebs. If you are unlucky enough to get close it is difficult to tell if he has ever bathed. Ever. He does not speak often but when he does his voice is low and soft. At a glance it is obvious that he shies away from people naturally.

Background:

As far back as Quint can remember he has lived alone. He has survived alone with only his panther, Coal, for company. For decades he has wandered the various interconnected tunnels beneath the surface of the area known as the Sword Coast. Never venturing deep into the dangers below, nor daring to venture out into the unfamiliar open sky. He has observed from afar, finding none that are kin to him until seeing the industrious dwarves of Kraak Helzak in their maze of mines.

Quint took it upon himself to watch over these miners, seeing that they were similar to himself. He kept silent vigil, protecting them from what dangers he could and finding ways to warn them against those he could not. The longer her watched the stoic dwarves the more he longed to walk among them. Ever careful to avoid detection eventually fate would have its due. As the miners neared an unexplored offshoot Quint and Coal were discovered, trying to fend off a group of Batiiri. Quint, expecting to be shunned and put out was amazed as the dwarves welcomed him as kin, never once asking how he had come to be in the tunnels. He was brought to the city and offered citizenship which he accepted, giving oath to kin and King.
