Garvin "Greyfist" Aldran

• The Greyfist is the Quartermaster of the Crimson Hounds, responsible for managing the guild’s vast supplies, gear, and logistics. Known for his gruff demeanor and no-nonsense attitude, Garvin ensures that the guild is always well-stocked for its operations, from mundane supplies to rare enchanted items.

Responsibilities:

• Supply Management: Garvin oversees the acquisition, distribution, and maintenance of the guild’s supplies, weapons, armor, and magical gear. He ensures that every member of the guild is properly equipped for their missions, though those who stay in his good graces often receive the best gear.
• Logistics and Inventory: Garvin is in charge of the guild’s inventory at The Kennel and its outposts. He ensures that supplies flow smoothly, whether they are basic provisions or rare magical components. His sharp mind for logistics ensures that the Crimson Hounds are always prepared for long hunts and dangerous expeditions.
• Trade Negotiations: As the one who manages the guild’s supplies, Garvin also negotiates with merchants, traders, and suppliers, securing deals to keep the guild running. These deals often include secret side deals that benefit him personally, ensuring a steady stream of wealth into his coffers.

Personality:

• The Greyfist is known for his gruff, pragmatic personality and his focus on results above all else. He cares little for the moral implications of his actions, as long as the guild remains well-supplied and he profits from the transactions. Garvin is a shrewd negotiator, quick to strike deals, and is always looking for ways to benefit personally from his position. He tends to view the guild’s resources as his own, and while he ensures the guild is well-stocked, he also prioritizes his personal gain. Garvin is known to hold grudges and has a long memory for those who slight him, making him a dangerous enemy. While respected for his logistical skills, he is often seen as self-serving and untrustworthy.

Titles:

• The Greyfist is a title earned both for his iron grip on the guild’s supplies and for his ability to make sure nothing slips through the cracks without his knowledge. His reputation for being a tough and no-nonsense leader in logistics has made him both feared and respected within the guild.

Appearance:

• Garvin is a stout, broad-shouldered dwarf with a grizzled beard streaked with gray, reaching down to his chest. His bald head and weathered features reflect years of experience in both battle and the logistics of running the Crimson Hounds. His steel-gray eyes are sharp, always assessing value and looking for opportunities to profit. He often wears sturdy, practical clothing suited for the warehouse or battlefield, complete with many pockets and tools for handling inventory. His massive hands are calloused from years of hard labor, and his permanent scowl gives him an air of constant irritation. Despite his rough appearance, Garvin’s keen eye for detail and ability to manage the guild’s vast resources make him an indispensable, though morally questionable, member of the leadership.

• Deed: The Defense of Ironhall
• Garvin’s legendary deed came during the Defense of Ironhall, a key Den in Skarnhold that was under siege by an army of giants and ogres seeking to plunder the guild’s supplies. As the Quartermaster, Garvin took charge of the defense, rallying the guild’s members and organizing the supplies for battle. His experience as a warrior came to the fore, and with his Greyfist, Garvin personally held the main gate against a towering frost giant, stalling the invaders long enough for reinforcements to arrive. His fists were said to glow with an ancient dwarven magic as he fought, earning him his moniker.
• Legacy: The Defense of Ironhall is remembered not only for Garvin’s bravery but for his masterful use of the guild’s resources to repel a vastly superior force. His ability to balance the logistics of warfare with battlefield combat made him the respected leader he is today.
