Some said there was no place for Dwarves in the dessert. That Dwarves belonged underground, protected from the sun. Angmar didn’t understand them, he’d been born here in Katapesh, he prowled the desert for weeks on end and relished the fire on his back as a smith relished the heat of the forge fire. The Desert to him was a natural habitat, one where only those sturdy and perceptive could seek to persist. Well that was him.
When only a little Dwarfling not even ten years of age his parents caravan had been attacked by Gnolls. They took the streaks of red in his hair for blood and let him lie there among chaos, death and destruction. All alone in the desert, days from the next settlement, it was a death sentence. Not so for a stout little Dwarfling. He heeded his parents’ words, take one step after the next, always look forward and beg your ancestors for guidance. With the iron determination inborn in him and listening to his inner voice young Angmar made his way through the desert.
Weeks later the news of the tragic attack had already spread within Katapesh’s small Dwarven community. A merchant came to the temple of Torag, in his arm he carried a sun scorched young Dwarf with fiery red hair whom he’d found crawling up a sand dune on his way to Katapesh. As is custom within Dwarven communities, the young orphan was raised by the priests of the temple. As he grew to be a young man he would spend more and more time away from the temple, either out on the streets of Katapesh or in Dwarven Craftmen’s shops, or out in the desert where he accompanied traveling merchants, for the young one needed to learn a craft. But Angmar showed little interest for Craftsmanship, but he had developed a strong sense for spirituality, especially for Angradd at whose shrine he would pray every day. Angmar grew and learned and aided his community where he could. And as Angmar was a resourceful young man he quickly became a valuable commodity for his ability to solve problems without kicking up any dirt.
One day however Angmar had gotten in over his head on a mission. He had made his way into the slums of Katapesh to root out a man who had stolen valuable stones from a craftsman and found himself faced with 5 sharp knives. He managed to deal with two and somehow get away and badly injured crawled into a dirty hut in the hopes of evading his pursuers. He had evaded the habitat of a young human girl Haleen, who reflexively stowed the young Dwarf away and when his pursuers came looking managed to turn them away. Angmar was eternally thankful and as a Dwarf never forgets took it on himself to aid the young girl and her siblings in their struggle to survive in the streets of Katapesh. Over the years they developed a close friendship. One that meant much to Angmar; as Haleen was the only non-Dwarf he could call a true friend. But one day when Angmar came to visit Haleen she was gone without a trace. For several years now he has been looking for her, and never heard a word, he had already given up hope but now there were reports that Haleen had been seen in Kelmarane and so that was where Angmar was off to.

Angmar’s most prominent feature is his namesake fiery red hair, while his beard is a swirl of of blonde and orange, a few of the curly locks on his pate actually take on a bright red giving him the appearance that his head is on fire. It’s what distinguishes his line and he is very proud of it. Angmar is fairly tall for a Dwarf and dresses as would most natives of Katapesh in wide white linens. Underneath he wears a shining Breatplate of Dwarven make inlaid with an intricately designed flaming greataxe, the symbol of his god Angradd.

As most Dwarves in Katapesh Angmar is all business. He values a deal be it good or bad as his word is good as gold. His business often enough is doing the dirty work for other Dwarves in Katapesh. But he has principals, and everyone knows that. Others might consider him a mercenary; Dwarves are more pragmatic in that respect. When you needed to get something done the faithful of Angradd where there for you to devise a plan and set into motion. Be it rooting out a Goblin warren or getting back your stolen goods from a tricky little Halfling. It had worked that way for centuries back in the homeland and worked that way in Katapesh. Angmar is somewhat conservative in that respect and feels respecting the old ways and your ancestors is all that Dwarves have to stay Dwarves.
On an interpersonal level Angmar is easy to deal with, depending on how you can take the truth. He has little sense for Etiquette or flowery speech he’ll usually just tell you what’s on his mind, some call that honest others might call it socially inept. Angmar doesn’t care. What he does care about is his kin, his friends and money. Roughly in that order but earning Angmar’s friendship can be daunting task for those unfamiliar with Dwarven culture and behavior.
