Character Details

Backstory

Thordak was a miner in the Sword Mountains before a tunnel collapse revealed an ancient dwarven tomb filled with traps and treasure. He lost two fingers to a poison dart trap but emerged with enough gold to retire — and an addiction to the thrill that no amount of gold could cure. Now he haunts the Yawning Portal tavern in Waterdeep, listening for rumors of unexplored dungeons and hiring on with any party brave or foolish enough to descend. He has survived the Sunless Citadel, White Plume Mountain, and half of Undermountain, and he can identify a pressure plate at twenty paces.

Personality Trait

"I tap walls, floors, and ceilings out of habit. You'd be amazed what sounds hollow."

Ideal

"Courage. The deeper you go, the greater the reward. Fortune favors the bold."

Bond

"The Yawning Portal is home. Durnan is the closest thing I have to family."

Flaw

"I cannot resist a locked door or an unexplored passage, even when the party needs to retreat."

A broad, barrel-chested dwarf missing two fingers on his left hand, wearing heavy chain mail over leather padding. His shield is dented from a hundred doorway traps, and his battleaxe has notches in the handle — one for every dungeon survived. A coil of rope and a bundle of iron pitons hang from his pack.
