Biography
Bruger Ironhelm is a young dwarf who was raised in the Plains of Zaardun, home to the mighty Plainsmen. Brogham, Bruger's father, escaped Frosthammer with the heirloom axe of Ulgar Shinestone, getting as far with his young son as the Valpheggi Swamplands before falling in battle to a troll ambush.
The Plainsmen of Kuruk discovered Bruger unconscious with corpses of trolls at his feet. They took the dwarf in as one of their own and raised him in the ways of the Plainsmen.
Bruger met Pots Talos, Virgil Mythos and Kaelas Tangralas on an Osirian Slaver ship in 1006 CE and has since learned of their connection to the Children of the Light prophecy. Bruger demonstrated great strength by defeating Agramed of Oslo in the Osirian Arena Tournament, winning the freedom for him and his friends.
During his expedition to the Old World with the Children of Light, Bruger was able to reclaim Silverspark within the Valpheggi Swamplands. Unbeknownst to him, this was the ancient axe of Ulgar Shinestone, foretold to be the only instrument able to unite the clans of Frosthammer and bring peace back to his people.
During the Second Great War, Bruger freed Mikden, Thane of the Shinestone Clan, from the Osirian Empire and received an audience with the Council of Thanes in Frosthammer. He was able to rally the clans against the rogue Thane Golembane and ultimately serve as a liaison between Frosthammer and the growing army of Wein Beranedyn and the Children of Light while fulfilling the prophecy of his people.
Personality
Bruger has been known to have a smash now, think later approach to many problems. His strength and constitution know no bounds and he is not one to turn down a challenge. Bruger possesses an indomitable will but has been known to be able to be coerced or persuaded when food is involved.
