About Korkrantz the Indomitable

Born to kitchen servants in a Taldoran noble's house, Korkrantz was brought up to be respectful of nobility but soon learned that the life of a servant is a hard one and that loyalty and rspect are too often assumed rather than earned. Apprenticed to a tinker, a chance meeting on the road with a paladin of Iomedae inspired Korkrantz to take up arms. becoming the paladin's squire he travelled far and wide before setting out on his own. he still misses his parents, brothers and sisters. He sends money home whenever he can.
Korkrantz likes natural colours. His favourite food is chicken leg. if he had wealth he would give it all away. he hates bullies and tries not to be one himself. he doesn't understand slavery.
Korkrantz's skin is a healthy pink and his hair a rich green. he has small, twinkling eyes and a prominent nose. He has a neatly trimmed beard. He smiles often. His clothes are neat and functional. He keeps his armour clean and polished and his weapons the same. Korkrantz believes in Iomedae's teachings and does his best to live up to them. He believes that there is good in most people if you look hard enough. He thinks everyone should laugh more. He admires the Andorans for their refusal to accept slavery.
Korkrantz sees himself as a defender of the little people, whatever their size. He hopes one day to become a great hero, worthy of respect and commanding the loyalty of others. He is sometimes ashamed of his lack of strength and stature. His proudest moment was being presented with his first sword by his master.
Korkrantz likes to be clean and washes so regularly his skin glows. He is tidy but relaxed in his dress. He takes his armour off whenever he can. He is not above standing on a table to get people to notice him. His voice is deeper than most gnomes and he does not gabble as much as some do. He tries to speak clearly when he can remember. Ultimately Korkrantz wanted to be the owner of his own estate where he and his extended family could live together, a goal he realised upon his retirement. He has now begun to train up a nephew as a squire.
