Background:
Krosh Hammersmith grew up in a mining town, which engaged in the work of "tearing down a solid past to make way for the facade of a future," as his father, Korvin Hammersmith, put it. Korvin had given up his smithing business when it became clear that not enough people were interested in his finely crafted hammers to keep him in business. Krosh was a wee lad when his father became a miner, but he remembered Korvin's joy at creating a masterful tool that would last multiple generations. He also remembered the elder dwarf's complaints about short-lived races only wanting cheap, mass-produced items that would break in a matter of years, rather than decades or centuries.
Krosh resigned himself to a life of mining just like his father, but a visit to Greyston for supplies changed his destiny. There he saw a demonstration of firearms, which impressed him in and of itself, but he realized the firearms were poorly made and jammed frequently or, in one frightening case, exploded in the bearer's hands. Krosh knew his father could apply his smithing skills to build better guns. He brought it up to his father...once, whereupon he learned of Korvin's intense distaste for "dishonorable" ranged weapons in general, and a hatred for firearms in particular.
Not to be deterred in his goal to restore the Hammersmith name, Krosh learned some rudiments of smithing form his father, and surreptitiously sought out other dwarves to teach him deeper secrets. Since Korvin spent days at a time in the mines, Krosh picked up the craft quickly, and set about creating his own firearm. Unfortunately, the young dwarf could not keep his activities secret from his father forever, and, when Korvin discovered that his son was working on accursed firearms, he disowned the boy who then became an exile from his home.
Krosh returned to the capital city with what tools his father allowed him to take and set up shop. His first commission went surprisingly well, and he made a decent amount of coin, enough to improve his tools and forge. He hopes to build up enough renown that he will regain his father's favor, but he has become distracted in the past few years by a need to demonstrate his wares. He left the shop in a capable apprentice's hands, and dove into the itinerant lifestyle of an adventurer. So now he travels with his meager belongings and well-crafted armaments (including a musket warhammer he first made to honor his father's former vocation), occasionally retuning to Greyston to check in on the business and take on a small commission.
