| Kinship |
| Outward Appearance | Grimfaar is a short but still surprisingly sturdy dwarf, despite his apparent old age. His almost leather-like skin is wrinkled, weather-beaten and tanned after many long days spent upon the open roads. He seemingly walks about freely most of the time, but some days are without a doubt worse than others, which may keep him down. Aching knees, feet and a bad back is something he struggles with every day, and yet he marches on with great determination or perhaps just pure stubbornness. |

Background
As a veteran of warfare, Grimfaar has seen much battle and been lucky - or skilled - enough to live and tell the tale, even if he rarely wishes to actually speak of it. It is chronicled that as a youngster he fought in the Battle of Azanulbizar, after which he returned to the Iron Hills to serve Grór - and later his grandson Dáin II - and battled in many campaigns during the late third age. He did not however take part in the Battle of Five Armies due to a severe injury that kept him from fighting for nearly a year, to his great dismay. He wears a multitude of scars upon his body, like a grand map of victories, defeats and various adventures.
The greatest scars are not physical however, but sits deep inside his heart. For many years he has been wandering through Middle-Earth more or less alone, though it remains unclear why he chose that path for himself. It is only in recent times - in his golden years - that he has once again taken up more regular company, and he stands now with the dwarves of Durin's Folk.
He does have - or had - a family, which he might have mentioned at some point while drunk enough, though he does not speak much of that. Some things are just better left unsaid.
| Friends | Noone close enough. |
|---|---|
| Relatives | Very few still lives. |
| Rivals/Enemies | His worst enemy is his own tired and aching body. Also any goblin or orc that comes in his way. |
| Loves | Ale; dried and salted meat; pipeweed; water and vast fields just as much as underground caverns; and also all that glitters. |
|---|---|
| Hates | All of orc-kind. Maybe heights too. |
| Motivation | To one day find the strength and courage to return home, before old age takes its final toll. |
