Physical Description:
Bikke is a broad-shouldered dwarf whose black beard is not only awfully tangled, but also smells of sea water. He carries a sinister-looking axe, which he handles a bit ungracefully - is he not used to it? Though he tries to hide it when interacting socially, there is a rum bottle hanging from his belt. When not interacting socially, Bikke takes a swig, or is saddened to find that the bottle is empty and needs a refill.

Body: built
Eyes: eager
Hair: washed in sea water
Skin: tanned
