Male
Sexuality
Demisexual. Storn isn't looking to settle down just yet, but for the right dwarf he could make an exception.
Education
Storn was taught most of the things he knows by his clan. While formally trained as a locksmith, his real talent lay in correctly judging the quality of raw metal and manufactured metal items.

Mental Trauma
Being threatened by a mad beholder doesn't exactly leave a person unscathed, but Storn is resilient and perseveres.

To get rich and to be rid of his old guild forever.

Family Ties
Clan Bladebite is from the Sword Coast and has ties to Waterdeep. They have a merchant coster headquartered in the City of Splendors and this is where Storn learned his trade.

His loyalty to his clan and his personal honor are his highest virtues.

He is fond of the insult "horse's ass."

Hiding from a crime syndicate is expensive and Storn is looking for his next payday.
