Gertrude Earthbreaker hails from a dwarven clan in The Spine of the World. Leaving behind her home for warmer pastures, she has taken up the career of being a bar manager in the past couple of decades, enjoying both the various challenges of the job and all the free drinks she can put down.
 
She's known for never taking guff from anyone, and being composed and collected, even in the most stressful of situations. She has no problem with using violence to pacify rowdy bar patrons, but as a devout believer in both Moradin and Ilmater, she tries to maintain a sense of order with her words first.
 
In her off-time, Gertrude enjoys gambling and meeting other dwarves from far off lands.
