Buri

Name
Buri Grimwold, in some circles known as "The Prophet"; How this dwarf acquired such a title remains a mystery, but certain criminal records suggests a connection between him and a short-lived cult known as the Order of Mato.

Physical Traits
Buri is somewhat stumpy, even for a dwarf. Buri's skin is stained with numerous burn marks and scorches from failed engineering-experiments, but otherwise free from scars or other distinguishing features. His eyes work just fine; the engineered spectacles are primarily for show and utility, even though the goggles do nothing.

Race and Class
Dwarf Male Warrior.

Guild
The Grimwold Clan, the guild in which Buri resides alone; what's left of the very old Grimwold family of dwarves.

Occupation
Buri is a very inexperienced miner, but a fairly decent journeyman engineer. However, he never uses his talents to create items of utility, as he prefers inventing more powerful explosives rather than helping people. Buri does not harvest his own materials for his profession, but relies on the steady shipments of ores and blasting powders from a confidential source/fence.

Family
None; see Family Background.

Background
Not much is known about Buri's personal life and background, as he generally does not wish to speak about it. All information available has either been collected from the archives of Ironforge, Stormwind City/Ironforge criminal records or from friends; see Family Background.

Family Background
The founder of the Grimwold Clan was one Nigel Grimwold of the Ironforge Clan, who died approximately two dwarven lifespans before present day, about five hundred years ago. His wife was a freelancing Wildhammer tattooist that gave birth to Nigel's three known children, Eric, Kagna and Murgolia. Records about these children after age five are incomplete, and the files in the official Ironforge archives only mentions their deaths, all within the timespan of the great dividing of the three Dwarven Clans.

Eric was the only one that managed to carry the Grimwold Clan further by raising two children within his lifetime, Nestar and Khazdon. Nestar, a young paladin and a member of the Ironforge Clan, {Note that the Grimwold Clan is merely a family-clan, not a full-scale Dwarvish-Race-Clan} was killed fighting the Dark Iron Dwarves in the Redridge Mountains during the War of the Three Hammers.

Khazdon, of whom there is little record, begat Baldwin that begat three children with a young dwarven woman without marrying her. Shortly after their births, she ran away from their simple abode in the northeastern part of Dun Morogh, leaving Baldwin to raise the three children with only the help of a human maid.

The children were Hurin, Sigrid and Buri, and they all learned to speak fluent common from the maid, whose name is/was unknown. When Hurin, Sigrid and Buri were old enough to take care of themselves, they sold the residence in Dun Morogh and moved to Thelsamar together, while the father stayed in Ironforge. Not much is known about the small Grimwold family clan up until the deaths of Buri's father, sister and brother two years before present day.

According to the most reliable sources of those troublesome times, Sigrid and Hurin planned to go see their father in Ironforge while Buri stayed home and watched the house. It is not known whether or not Buri simply did not want to follow them; some of Buri's (now dead) friends mentioned that he and his father Baldwin had a big fight not long before the father and siblings died.

It does not matter why Buri would not go to Ironforge, but it surely saved his life; not long after Sigrid and Hurin entered the local pub with their father, the terrible plague known as the Corrupted Blood, carried out of Zul'Gurub, struck the city and eliminated all of Buri's relatives and many close friends. Buri now stands alone as the last member of the Grimwold Clan.

Criminal Record
Currently has no bounty and is not wanted by any major faction.

Has spent a few days behind Ironforge bars for petty theft at a young age.

Has paid fines of a total 11 Gold and 56 Silver to the Stormwind City guard for loitering, embezzlement and trespassing.

Personal Notes
Buri's favourite colour is red. He think he's way more powerful and influential than he really is. He is not very loyal, but (usually) means well. Can speak fluent common, but prefers dwarvish, as it makes him feel big.

Current Status
Unknown, though some have seen him wandering about the Hillsbrad Foothills.
