Sturm was a young dwarf still considering his path in life when his clan decided to explore an ancient abandoned dwarfhold not far from his home of Highhelm in the Five Kings Mountains. The most junior member of the expedition, it was not expected to be especially hazardous. But the team instead unearthed a nest of undead and a cult devoted to Urgathoa, and barely a third escaped with their lives. The experience changed the young dwarf and gave him his purpose in life - the study of undead and a life as a cleric of Pharasma.
Sturm is not necessarily the quickest off the mark, but he is certainly a deep thinker and methodical scholar. His worship of Pharasma and his unusual intellectual pursuits marked him out as different in the conservative culture of the Five Kings Mountains dwarves, and while he was never made unwelcome it was clear that he could not achieve his full potential without taking his studies outside of his homeland. Having exhausted all of the meagre resources available there, he decided to strike out for one of the major centres of Pharasmid worship and study - Osirion.
Sturm has been in Wati for three months, poring over scrolls and engaging in learned discussions. But his resources are limited, and the opportunity to study the famed Necropolis of Wati too tempting an opportunity. And he is, in the end, still a dwarf with an eye for treasure.
While in Wati he has got to know both the half-orc paladin Gus and the gnomish sorcerer Z'ael. Travel has broadened Sturm's outlook - in the Five Kings Mountains a half-orc would be very unlikely to be accepted by a dwarven priest, but Gus's patent decency shines through even if his outlook and patron deity are not entirely in tune with Sturm's fatalistic goddess. Z'ael and Sturm share an interest in Osirian architecture and Sturm enjoys the gnome's carefree ways even while quietly disapproving of Z'ael's lack of seriousness. Indeed, it is the influence of Gus and Z'ael that has nudged Sturm down a more self-assertive path and entering the lottery to enter the Necropolis.
