Dain Ironheart is a broad-shouldered, heavily built dwarf with a strong presence. His thick, golden-brown beard is neatly braided with small silver rings, and his piercing blue eyes shine with a determined fire. His face bears a few battle scars, a testament to his years of service as a soldier.

His warhammer is always within reach, resting comfortably in his hand like an extension of his will.

He trained as a soldier, fighting in defense of his mountain stronghold against orcs, goblins, and worse.
