Keir

Name
Keir Stormforger

Physical Traits
A middle-aged dwarf, on the small side for one of his race in terms of both height and build. He wears well-maintained armour, a mixture of leathers and chainmail. Various small trinkets and charms hang on the leather cords which fasten the ends of the plaits in his beard and he wears a large ring, made of silver or a similar metal, in his right nostril. Several braids, some adorned with rough glass beads, are woven into his coarse, long red hair.

His arms are usually covered by his clothing and armour, but he has a tattoo of a double-spiral on the inside of his right forearm, which looks to have faded but been touched up relatively recently.

Background
For most of his life, Keir acted as a spiritual advisor to his people, right up to the Third War. When the Wildhammer gryphon riders went to the aid of Lordaeron, Keir joined them - ostensibly to heal the gryphons and their riders, but in reality, he spent a good deal of time in the air with them, bringing his spells to bear against the undead and doing what he could to stem the spread of the Scourge's blight. It was at this time that he met Ceadric Clayworth, later of the Northwind Free Company. The two men fought together against the undead on many occasions and became firm friends, but Keir returned to his people in the Hinterlands after Lordaeron fell. Recent events have seen the Wildhammers throw their lot in with the Alliance, but Keir sought out his old friend from the Third War, joining the Northwinds to do what he can to fight for the future of his people against the encroaching darkness. Though the captain of the mercenary band, he has little to no interest in the money, serving with the company at the request of Clayworth.

Family Background
Keir was brought up in the expectation that he would follow the same path as his father: that of the shaman. His older brothers were more interested in learning the brewer's craft from their mother, or in the gryphons, but Ciarán's wish was fulfilled as his youngest son grew to maturity. The young Keir spent his childhood learning from his father, under intense pressure to succeed, but received a great deal of attention from Ciarán and remains on excellent terms with him to this day.

Criminal Record
None.
