Rye is generally as light-hearted as his
faerie dragon companion. He's also an iconoclast. He generally doesn't act like a typical dwarf. He's a trained warrior (at his family's insistence) but his passion is witchcraft, cooking, and brewing... which is the family business. But, again, going against the grain (pun intended) of his family's desires, Rye has no interest in ales, beers, meads, or other dwarfy drinks. No, he is on a quest to brew the perfect whiskey. To avoid bringing dishonor on his family, he has adopted a fictitious name.
