Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Like most Dwarves, Thorgas is almost as wide as he is tall.  His build is incredibly solid, even for a Hill Dwarf.  While he is respectably muscular, his skin is tough and his muscles are tougher still, shrugging off lighter blows entirely.

Dark brown beard stretching to the middle of his torso, as well as bushy eyebrows of the same color.

Apparel & Accessories

Silver ribbon of the Steel Saints tied into his beard.  One platinum ring on a finger of each hand.

Education

Thorgas began apprenticing under his father, Aric, at the age of 20 in the family forge.  For the next 100 years, Thorgas trained in metalworking under the hard but fair master that his father was, becoming an incredibly deft smith.  During his time at home, his mother, Magda, also imbued in him skill in brewing.
As a Steel Saint, Thorgas learned his way around a deck of cards as well as handling drawn vehicles such as carts.
Following a horrendous visit to the Badlands, Thorgas taught himself how to cook, as to never eat food he didn't prepare himself.

Employment

Thorgas serves as a Sergent of the Steel Saints, operating as a highly skilled mercenary for hire, as well as a paramilitary unit in the Daborak Army.
In his free time, Thorgas freelances as an artisan for hire in the company Magnum Opus, crafting weapons, tools, and other various items for a price.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Defeated and killed the Golden Mask, a high ranking operative of the Bandit King, presiding near Stonebreak and Greytree.

Mental Trauma

Magically compelled to consume the flesh of various humanoids while on a contract in the Badlands.  As a result, Thorgas will not return to the Badlands.  In addition, he will neither eat or drink anything he did not prepare himself.

Identify (Domain)

1st-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a pearl worth at least 100 gp and an owl feather)
Duration: Instantaneous
You choose one object that you must touch throughout the casting of the spell. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement to use, and how many charges it has, if any. You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it.

If you instead touch a creature throughout the casting, you learn what spells, if any, are currently affecting it.

Searing Smite (Domain)

1st-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
The next time you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack during the spell's duration, your weapon flares with white-hot intensity, and the attack deals an extra 1d6 fire damage to the target and causes the target to ignite in flames. At the start of each of its turns until the spell ends, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 1d6 fire damage. On a successful save, the spell ends. If the target or a creature within 5 feet of it uses an action to put out the flames, or if some other effect douses the flames (such as the target being submerged in water), the spell ends.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the initial extra damage dealt by the attack increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

Spellcasting
