About Barin Orcbane

Background: Barin Orcbane is a young dwarf from Janderhoff, obsessed with the notion of making a name for himself as a fighter as his ancestors did for several generations before him.
As Janderhoff offered little chance for glorious adventure Barin started considering leaving the city and try his luck elsewhere. When his uncle, Dusbar Orcbane asked his father for help as he was in need of a bodyguard, Barin vehemently asked to be allowed to join his kin in Magnimar. Seeing the determination in his son eyes and considering it good experience, his father gave him his permission to travel to Magnimar.
Barin traveled fast, ansious to start what he immagined to be a glorious, heroic career. Unfortunately when he reached the city he wasn't able to locate his uncle as no one was manning his weaponsmith's forge. Asking around Barin discovered Dusbar had disappeared some days before Barin's arrival and no one was sure what had happened to him. Not one to be easily dissuaded, Barin decided to personally search for his uncle Dusbar. What a better way to start an heroic career than to save an uncle from whatever evil had befallen him? The only problem was Barin had no idea where to start.
Fortunately Barin was not the only one looking into the case of his Uncle disappearance. Briefly after discovering Dusbar was missing Barin was contacted by captain Ilar Percival, a man who was investigating the same crime. realizing the human was his best chance to find his uncle Barin asked to help him. Considering how the young dwarf could be an asset in the case Percival agreed to have Barin come along and join the MSI.

Personality: Barin lives by a simple code:" when all the rest fails violence can be counted on to solve problems". He's gruff and unfriendly with those he doesn't trust, yet he'll do literally anything for the few he calls friends. As a result one doesn't come easily into his trust .
He's greatly motivated by anger, and right now he feels a good deal of anger at the undisclosed party who abducted his uncle. He wanted a chance to glory and he found himself forced to pursue crime. The two things aren't mutually exclusive, but this wasn't exactly how Barin immagined his career as an adventurer to start. Nontheless he's not completely unhappy about the developments in his life, as he feels like he might grow to appreciate a role in the MSI and, with time, raise to glory in its ranks.
As many dwarves he lives by the idea debts must be paid, and one gets what he deserves, which includes punishment for criminals and wrongdoers.
Barin is not really obsessed with the law, he conforms, but sometimes he feels breaking some rules is excusable in order to get results.
