Rough bearded mountain dwarf scarred from battles with a noticeable scar running his left side from a bear. Loves to fight, sometimes gets a little angry, possibly Hispanic.

Rurick grew up in the Ironfist Mountain where his clan mined ore. They would travel deep into the mountain at times to find new sources of ore which led to some interesting encounters with creatures coming from the Under-dark. One of these encounters led to the Ironfist clan meeting a huge clan of Duergar, which is a problem as the Ironfist in the past has had wars with Duergar. They would be outnumbered in this upcoming war to clear the Duergar out of the mountain if they didn't go to get help from an allied clan. After an unfortunate bear ambush as his clan was on their way to meet an allied clan in another mountain range, Rurick lost everyone he held dear. He flew in an uncontrollable rage grabbing the closest weapon to him, he killed every bear that dared to face him. At the end of his rage he found the corpses of friends and family that he could find and took a claw from the bear closest to them which he would later put on to an leather necklace that he wears around his neck to remember his loved ones and over time has started to add more claws from creatures he has killed. He was unable to find all of his family bodies leaving him to search and search the area for them until he could no longer from the pain and exhausted contributed by a massive gash to his left side. He found himself a hollow in a tree to rest in unsure on if he would survive. When he finally woke up a day and half later, he trekked back to his native home of Ironfist Mountain to see if anyone else from his clan made it back and saw no traces of anyone. Unsure if anyone survived, Rurick decided to wander the woods looking for a new purpose in life, treating the woods as his new home. He became at one in the forest, occasionally finding a cave to sleep in and rest at for awhile. He became angrier and angrier as life felt like he couldn't find a proper purpose in life anymore and he started to have moments of pure anger. This continued until one day he flew into a fit, and broke the closest item he had left of his clan, his dwarven war axe. He struck it against the hard marble side of a cave he was resting in and broke the axe down the middle of the blade. He swore to himself that he would have to try and get his anger under check, and for the most part he has. Though the use of alcohol has helped in this attempt as managing his anger as well.
 
The use of alcohol has been an detriment to him at times as, Rurick has a bad habit of having accidents at the worst possible time. Whether it be from possibly putting an axe in the back of new friend and now best buddy Balgus, to possibly causing a cave to collapse to the lack of thinking hat would a Molotov cocktail do to the stability of cave if you hit its main support, to many other unfortunate events. Its never a dull moment with Rurick around. Rurick has followed his clan traditions and started to learn to blacksmith which he is constantly trying to get better at and trying to get the best materials which sometimes come from grounded up bones of creatures. Which has lead to some awkward occurrences of Rurick taking bones from creatures he has killed. Now that Rurick has found people that he has grown to like and even love, he finds to be filling the void of his clan that he lost and he will do anything to save them and will never leave them behind. Never. Also somehow learned how to say yes in some very foreign weird language which no one knows "SI".
