Character History Druckner "Red" Brombreath was born some 59 years ago in the hidden dwarven community of Baruk Tor, near the old mines of Tethyamar. He is the son of the moderately well-known dwarf trader Alizor Brombreath. As a youth, Druckner traveled with his father. His father's company, 'Brombreath Associates Trading and Adventuring Company', shipped dwarven manufactured goods between different clanholds and sometimes the human cities and kingdoms such as the Dalelands, Tilverton and Hillsfar. It also took care of 'special' jobs once in a while.
At the head of the company were his Pa Alizor, of course, but also his Uncle Blum, Druckner's main influence. His older brother Alizor, Jr., was the natural heir to his father's business and spent the most time dealing with clients and such. His Uncle Blum, a blacksmith by trade, apprenticed Druckner and educated him. The company existed primarily to make the family rich, but it was also a front for Uncle Blum's secret activities. Blum was a sometimes spy for the King of Baruk Tor. He showed Druckner a lot about sneaking about, picking locks and spying in general. This led the young Druckner on his first adventures.
These spying activities carried the company around the Moonsea and into the very Elven Court before the elves started disappearing. A year and a half ago, an expedition into Zhentil Keep went badly resulting in great losses to the company and serious injury to Uncle Blum. The company has laid up in Barok Tor for two years to allow them to re-organize and Blum to heal.
Since his father is relatively young (176), and his older brother, Alizor Jr., is there to help out with the business, Druckner decided to head out on his own and explore the world using the bit of money his father gave him. That was one year ago, and now the money is running out. Druckner is a competent blacksmith and a devious negotiator, so he manages for now, but he's looking for something more exciting. He has definitely found this with the Red Feather Adventuring Company.
Appearance:
Druckner stands a bit over 4' tall, and his most striking feature is definitely his long red hair and beard that are tied in tresses. He also has very pale skin and green eyes. As most dwarves he is very stocky and solid. He is 59 years old, young for a dwarf. He wears a normal helm and clothes made of thick brown material over his chain mail armor. The equipment you can see is his plan battle-axe, a crossbow and bolts tied to his leather backpack. He also has a knife and some pouches attached to his wide leather belt.
Druckner is also known for his tendency to turn deep red whenever he experiences violent emotion. Another notorious trait is the family tendency to have criminally bad breath. Long conversations at close quarters are no fun with Druckner. |
