In their modest home in the side of a hill near the Highhelm Sky Fortress, Trapper, his brothers and elderly parents discovered a bizarre, crumbling Pathfinder Chronicle during an excavation of their cottage's ancient basement. The Chronicle contained a legal document showing that his family, the Beer-Bashers, were heirs to a small fort on the Isle of Kortos.

Baffled by the discovery, and believing the work to be of singular importance, Trapper and his brothers -- along with an adopted human brother (a Ranger-Investigator from Galt) -- travelled downriver to the Isle of Kortos.

While the Beer-Bashers had always remained faithful to their Dwarven alignment and god, experiences with evil cutthroats, dire wolves and smelly, flotsam-raiser goblins caused a profound morality shift, nudging the Beer-Bashers into Neutral Good territory.

Unable to find employment or affordable housing in Absolom, the Beer-Bashers brothers moved to Diobel, where Trapper sought answers to two seemingly unrelated questions:

1) Why was Trapper’s family heir to a worthless heap of stone (their dreams shattered of finding they owned a grand castle) on the Isle of Kortos?

2) Why had a branch of the Beer-Bashers gone off to fight "an unspeakable evil" in remote Varisia?

To fund his research Trapper took odd jobs under false names along the waterfront. Skilled with his hands Trapper found woodworking jobs on the crime-infested docks, installing secret floors, traps and false floors on merchant ships. While there, he learned a lot of roguish skills.

After several years the Beer-Basher clan split their research efforts: The older Dwarfs remained in Diobel while Trapper and their adopted human brother sailed northwest to the Varisian Gulf.

Trapper's arrival in (what-should-have-been) the sleepy town of Sandpoint was fraught with terror. He found himself face-to-face with the mass murderer Chopper. Through quick wit and rogue skills, though, Trapper was able to ingratiate himself to the townsfolk of Sandpoint as he helped with the murderer’s capture.

Now, at the age of 100, Trapper has returned to the foothills east of the Five Kings Mountains, searching for "The Great Tomes", legendary journals kept by his forefathers.

Trapper's quizzical expression is due to the extensive number of paper cuts he gets on his fingers trying to chronicle his family tree.

Not always the sharpest ax in the armory, Trapper does have a secondary goal of increasing his Wisdom. His brothers often say, "Trapper cannot see the cave for the rocks."
