Biography (Please make it a decent two paragraphs long. Remember to add server lore, and events that happened to your character so that they don’t contradict history.):
Ghorlim Sootbeard was born sometime in 1168 in Kal'Urguan, Aegis, his family and specific origin unknown by most and unsaid by Ghorlim. At age 34 he began smithing for the Legion, and there isn't much to say besides that. Until 1349, when Ghorlim (now 181), one of the few that remained in Kal'Urguan with the Undead surge, took some of his best-forged weapons and armor and left abruptly while famine and untold horrors overtook the city. He took off on a raft. Eventually, Ghorlim came upon a community of human highlanders (which were often not present in any conflicts and simply moved on when they felt so), which he stayed and moved with while smithing for them as he had done the Legion and developing a deep bond with the peoples. Yet even they could not escape the chaos that eventually overtakes all. In 1513, on a normally peaceful day for the community, a giant worm tore the small village to shreds, once again leaving Ghorlim for himself. Traveling to the Isles of Vailor with the elves, Ghorlim left for the city of his kin, Kal'Akash, in 1513 to begin a life fighting for a home he could one day keep.

Curious- Ghorlim is oddly curious and tends to investigate (rather carelessly) things he doesn't understand.
Witty- Ghorlim has a tendency to make any situation humorous, often through forms of wordplay.
Passive- Ghorlim tends to not involve himself in other's personal matters, but when he does he listens and follows orders well.
Slightly Paranoid- Ghorlim is hesitant to trust those he doesn't know well.
Ambitions: Ghorlim wants now only to help keep a home for all peoples in any way he can.
