Thrain Stonebreaker

Thrain Stonebreaker was born in Deepsnow of 2260, in the shadowed depths of a dwarven hold in the Cold Rise, where the chill of the stone and the hum of ancient tunnels shaped his earliest years, his deep brown eyes sparking with a curiosity for hidden riches. Trained by kin until 2310, he mastered mining and trap work, his stocky frame growing nimble as he navigated cramped passages, his calloused hands earning scars from early mishaps, including the loss of an ear tip that left his crooked nose a permanent mark. This foundation fueled his love for the underground, where he honed his skills disarming mechanisms, a passion that set him apart from his distant hold kin, planting the seeds for a life of solitary exploration.   His journey took a bold turn in 2400 at age 140, when Thrain disarmed an old automaton in a forgotten ruin, a feat that cemented his reputation among dwarven divers and ignited his greed-driven pursuit of big profit. Self-taught in appraisal and ruin navigation, his miner’s stoop guiding him through treacherous traps, though a cave-in that year left him with a crippling claustrophobia that haunts his every step. Cast adrift from his hold’s formal ties, he forged alliances with black-market dealers as he balanced the thrill of discovery with the risks of his avarice.   Now 227 in 2487, Thrain roams Lavonia’s coastal ruins with teams near the city, his weathered cloak billowing as he seeks the next big score, his daggers, hand axe, and light crossbow at the ready to fend off rival divers and looters. The trauma of the cave-in drives him to push past his fears, his gruff chuckles masking a greed that sometimes overshadows his reverence for dwarven ancestors, whom he sees as the legacy behind each relic he claims. Amidst the Demihuman District’s bustle, he finds warmth with fellow dwarfs, his cautious nature keeping scholars at bay, as symbols in the ruins hints at a deeper connection to a big score, fueling his relentless quest for treasure and triumph.
