Akhir is a mountain dwarf of the Grandaxe clan who once lived in the city of Kal’Tarak, but is now seeking a more adventurous lifestyle. He wishes to view the world, help others in danger and in need, and to test his survival skills as he once again journeys through the wilderness. Akhir has recently heard of a new settlement, more of a camp than a town, near Belvitz that is being erected by a fellow dwarf of the Grandaxe clan is going to go and find out what he can do to maybe secure lodging there and see if the people in the nearby towns would like any help from their new neighbor. Akhir is not a particularly religious dwarf, but he still believes in Yemekar’s Balance and the order that goes along with it. Like most dwarves, he is loyal to his clan and to those few close people whom he truly considers friends. He values honor extremely highly and will only ever alter his word when his clan or honor is at stake. He will never break a blood oath even if death is the only honorable way to preserve his dignity in the given circumstances and will protect others with a zeal most people would consider suicidal. From the past he has taken many a blow for his clan and friends, but none were more deserving of remembrance than the scar that runs diagonally across his back from his right hip to the left shoulder, which he acquired by making a stand against 2 uruks so that his injured comrades could get away. It was a small skirmish and he nearly died of his injuries, but his loyal kin came back for him as soon as physically possible, and saved his life after he saved theirs. The scar is a memento of that time and he will always remember the story. Akhir occasionally tells it to those who ask and have time listen. It should also be noted that he is accepting of most races, with only a distrust for undead and ologs.
