Harrgiff (known as Harry by his few friends and estranged family) has spent much of his life wandering the forests North of Agnarum for centuries. In his youth, he acted as a first guide for travellers as they traversed the woods. Harry was known to occasionally steal food from those he was guiding as Harry had to care for himself and his pet , Fluffy.
Harry, as mentioned, has almost no friends and hasn't seen his family in centuries. As he realizes he will soon be turning 500, he decides to try to reconnect with those he should be close with. He seeks out his brothers' sons, Barvardor and Perdurvir, whom he has not seen since they were babies.
During his time in the forest, Harry formed a strong connection with his religion, specifically Yemekar. Harry has had little interaction with races outside of Dwarves and the occasional forest elf. Because of this, he is a firm believer that Dwarves are the cornerstone of his world and are the strongest, smartest, and best race.
