Kalir Fodrég

After waiting for a few more moments, the door to the Plainér Mines: Foreman's Office swings open, and in strides the Foreman himself. Stride isn't truly the best word here, however; you can almost sense the attitude of the tall man coming through the door. He wears a black tunic with a pair of brown trousers, both stained in a couple of places from food or drink. He carries a pair of books under one arm, and you can see that playing cards form the bookmarks for these volumes.   "What can I do for you?" his strained voice says, and you can hear the lack of attention in his voice. The words appear to have no meaning to him, likely from years of saying them over and over.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Kalir is somewhat muscular, although this is because he hasn't swung a pickaxe in years.

Facial Features

He has a mousey face with pale skin.

Identifying Characteristics

He has many small scars on his hands and arms from a youth in the mines.

Apparel & Accessories

He tends to wear dark colours like black or dark brown, unlike the light browns and greys of the miners.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Kalir started out as a poor mine labourer who dreamed of something more. When he accidentally struck gold in the mines late in his twenty-fifth year, he used the money to go to the capital and receive a basic education in mathematics, reading, and writing. After that, he spent some time as a scribe, doing work for the previous Foreman. When that man died about twelve years ago, Kalir stepped into the role. He's been running the mines of Plainér Town ever since.   The Drakeslayers met him and got permission to travel into the mines from him. When they returned with the dragon's head, he let them keep its ill-gotten gains.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Kalir plans to climb still higher on the social ladder, aiming to become an important politician or a diplomat. At the same time, he isn't willing to put in the work and education required to have either of those roles.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

  • He knows a great deal about the mines.
  • Besides what he's read in his books over the years, he knows very little about religion or history.
  • Likes & Dislikes

  • Dislikes the day-to-day mundanity of his job, although he understands the importance of it.
  • Hates going down into the mines.
  • Likes gambling and can often be found carrying dice or cards.
  • Virtues & Personality perks

  • An educated and logical mind.
  • Vices & Personality flaws

  • He is very lazy and usually spends his time reading or doing only the most necessary paperwork.
  • An addiction to gambling.
  • Hygiene

    He tries to keep himself clean, but his inner sloth means that he comes into his office smelly and with various stains.

    Social

    Contacts & Relations

  • He knows many of the miners, with some of the older ones knowing him personally
  • His job as Foreman puts him in the radar of many Gratic officials.
  • Social Aptitude

    He isn't particularly inspiring or charismatic, commonly using his position and status to keep the miners in line. He is very skittish, having had several run-ins with mine creatures in his youth that constantly set him on edge. He is very egotistical, mainly thinking in terms of what is best or easiest for him. He has good manners, but his hygiene and general blasé manner make him a difficult guest.

    Speech

    He has a bit of a strained voice, having lost it over years of shouting and yelling out orders.

    Wealth & Financial state

    Being Foreman of one of the most famous marble quarries in The Gratic Empire means that he makes a considerable sum of money. All the same, this money is normally used to purchase books for his leisure or deal with the fines being levied against him for not doing all of his paperwork.
