Gròr the Bluntheaded

Gròr, often referred to as "The Bluntheaded, is one of the houseless Dwarves who wanders the Vales of Anduin and the Grey Mountain Narrows. It is said that he lost his beard when he was captured and tortured by Goblins in the ruins of the Dwarven Fortress called the Greydelve, which was the home of his ancestors for many long ages until the Goblins took it. In truth, his beard was cut in a quarrel with servants of the Elvenking.
Today, Gròr is a wandering tinker and blacksmith, travelling all over the Wilderland on his journeys, offering his services as either a smithy or as protection for the many traders that walk these lands. Wherever he goes, he tells tales of the Goblins, and tries to rally the Dwarves and other Free Folk to his cause. Even the other Dwarves think Gròr to be mad in his dream and fear that the Greydelve is forever lost to Durin’s folk.
Since the death of the Dragon and the re-establishment of the King under the Mountain, Gròr has visited Dáin Ironfoot’s court once each year to demand that Dáin send warriors to reclaim the Greydelve, to which he has been always been denied.
Gròr would say he knows all the Dwarves who live in the Narrows and along the Anduin, and he is an excellent guide to the region — to be more precise, he knows all the paths in the region as well as he remembers every knot and hair in his now diminished beard. Whether or not he is a good travelling companion depends on his mood — on the wrong day, Gròr can be as treacherous and bitter as a Petty-dwarf. He has keen dislike of the Elves, who twice now have captured him for apparently trespassing in the Woodland Realm.
He wears a tooth from Scatha the Worm on a golden chain around his neck. This talisman is a reminder of all that has been taken from the Dwarves.
