Thorgrük
The father of battle, lord of the twin axes, the giant killer, the goblin bane, the Wyrmslayer, the rock of battle
The great dwarven warrior Thorgrük was the chief protector and general of the army commanded by King Grinmord. His primary conquests came against legions of Orc warlords and battlemasters, contestors of the mountain the dwarves inhabited. During peacetime, Thorgrük aided The Iron Hammer Mining Company by escorting them with a small protective detail of his own handpicked militiamen. Thorgrük was most notable for his chiseled physique, and his effortless prowess wielding axes. Many even claimed that he himself was carved from a stone slab cut right out of The Carigon Mountains. Miraculously, and somewhat disappointingly in his own regard, Thorgrük lived a long life and died peacefully, not on the field of battle as he always hoped. He was a father to 24 children with 11 different women, never marrying a single one. The most notable of his offspring was the future King Berûn, known by many as "The King of Blunders".
