Molten Heart

Hadraz Khadoon….Molten Heart

Hadraz Khadoon is the dwarf I spoke of sir. This is short and simple really. He is not like the others of this group so far. He is a dwarven prince who has been banished from his kingdom for his defying of the ancient ways. He wears no beard. Amongst his people he is know as “The faceless one”. For to them a man with no beard is a man without a face. He has no defining character. So Hadraz has left his kingdom plying his trade and slayer. The three previous applicants have all run into him at one point. They find him not to so bright for he will accept no money if he feels the person can not afford it. He might be the soul of this team. Though anger lives within him, he keeps it under control only to be unleashed at the right time.

I saw this for myself when in our travelling we were accosted by three large ruffians. I watched their clubs break upon his armor. I saw their swords shatter upon contact with his axe. I saw him break their bones with such brutal efficiency. Once they had been dealt with he turned to me and began to apologize profusely for what he had done. He saw it is the way of his people to be so brutal and he is trying to overcome it. He wants to be more the anvil upon which things are forged than the instruments that it creates. He wants to be the teacher not the destroyer. He feels this fits our mission. For the more of the darkness in the world that can be removed the less death he must give upon the world.
