--------------------
Argust Autmnwind is an orphaned dwarf that bounced around from family to family when he was younger but never found anyone that ever wanted him long enough to make a home. He never showed much interest in people nor in knowledge of anything other than weapons and armor. As a young lad he had a quick apprenticeship as a blacksmith, however he was eventually turned away due to the fact that Argast would rather wield the weapons instead of craft them.

Argust soon developed into a physically powerful dwarf, even for his race's standards, however for what he had in physical skills he definately lacked in social graces. Due to these particular set of skills the troubled dwarf found himself as a guard in a town that he had somehow ended up in. Dealing with drunks was pretty much all he had to deal with and he normally did so with few words and plenty of action, often using excessive force.

One night, after he had ejected a rather large number of men from a brawl that broke out in one of the local taverns, a woman mercenary named Talayis Feywind found herself both impressed and curious about Argust. Befriending him, she eventually approached him with an offer to be her henchman. Argast was leary at first, wondering what the human woman truly wanted from him, but his curiousity and longing for some sort of family was too great and he agreed to join the human.

For over a decade Argast faithfully served Talayis as her squire, bodyguard, confidant, and trusted companion. She knew of his mental and social shortcomings but he embraced him instead of shunning him for them. She also treated the dwarf more as a friend and partner than an employer and in some cases even acted as guardian for his well being in matters of money and other facets of life, including love. Argast was truly happy, even if there were never to be any romantic connection betwwen the two there was plenty of love and respect in their own ways. While they were never overly wealthy, they also had each other and enough to live on. Life as a henchman was a good life for the homely dwarf.

However, one fateful contract ended up to be too much for the duo. Despite his best efforts, Talayis was killed during a battle that the dwarf was lucky to come away from alive himself. The loss of his employer was devestating to Argust, the one person that ever took him at face value was now gone. He suddenly found himself falling into the worst point of depression he had ever experienced. Argust was alone, unemployed, and without anyone that he could trust.

Over the last few weeks, Argust Autumnwind found his way to his current location. Due to his lack of any business or social skills he was unable to find work as a mercenary for himself. His gruff manner was making him no friends. Argust is quickly running out of viable options. He has no family, he has no home, and soon he will have no money. If he could not find the work of a guard, warrior, or weapon for hire, he would end up doing the one job that a dwarf like himself would surely regret; that of a lowly miner. And Argust Autumnwind is no miner.
